Visiting the pyramids
Visited the Pyramids
For today, we had a change in plans. The captain heard a couple days before that there were scheduled demonstrations in Cairo for the upcoming Friday (their traditional day off) and decided to change some ports so that the excursion to Cairo and the pyramids at Giza could still happen but not on Friday. Again, the Destination Services team on the ship did a wonderful job responding to this change and all we had ...
Port of Alexandria, Egypt
... our dinner, which is a huge outside screen on the pool deck that features latest movies each evening. They put small mattresses on the deck beds, have heated blankets with free popcorn and ice creams. They even came around during the film offering a glass of milk and warm brownies which I guess is an American tradition. It was a great way to finish off our day as we knew would have to be up early for our tour tomorrow.

The Pyramids of Giza are one of the seven wonders of the world. These mausoleums were built to show the ancient Egyptians’ belief in the eternal life.

Next off to the Sphinx.
OMG it is so unbelievable that we are here! ...
El Alamein

The cemetery is well maintained, beautiful ...
