On our first day in Egypt we stayed in Giza, a part of greater Cairo, you can read the account of our arrival into Cairo in my last post. I woke up early because our hotel had a beautiful rooftop overlooking the great pyramids and I hoped to see them at sunrise. However, alas, the sun sets on the pyramids, it does not rise. But I still enjoyed walking upstairs and casting my eyes on the pyramids looming on the horizon larger than life in the early morning light. I sat there drinking my coffee and checking my Instagram as I do every morning.
