Egypt-Trip of a Lifetime

i had the opportunity to visit Egypt recently. it was the best trip of my life. I took over 550 pics but here are a few.

Sakkara the oldest pyramid. Khufu was the pharoah and it was around 2700 BC

Abu Simbel. this was rebuilt after the Aswan Dam became a project. the sun hits the 3 Gods exactly as it was originally built

Cairo Museum mummy

Climbing inside the Great Pyramid

The cranky Camel from Cairo

Nice. I was in Lebanon but not in Egypt

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters I'm curious, was your trip for business or pleasure, if I'm not being too nosey? I'm asking because a friend recently returned from a business trip there and raved about Lebanon and the Lebanese people. He's ready to go back. He spent some time in Byblos (sp?) and his photos are wonderful.

@LeeInTheNorthWoods neither.
I visited Beirut, Jezine, Bamachrie, Ein Zehaltah, bathed in the Litani river, the Shouf Mountains.
Lovely scenery
