Walk Like an Egyptian

The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx.
A camel ride through the desert.
I recently did a project on the fashions of ancient Egyptians and it has inspired me to want to take a trip there! Who wouldn't want to see one of the coolest of the seven wonders of the ancient world: the pyramids! First I would travel to Cairo, the capital of Egypt. There I would see the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. These icons of Egypt were built over 2,000 years ago and are still standing today. Ranging from 200-450 feet tall, these pyramids really do make you wonder how the ancient Egyptians were able to build them without the technology we have today.And of course, while you are in Egypt you have to take a camel ride through the desert! How cool would that be! Then in modern Cairo, you can visit the museums and have a nice dinner in the Cairo tower were you can see the whole city from the sky. It would also be fun to take a boat ride down the Nile and see all the surrounding scenery.
However, if you do decide to take a trip here, beware, the hygiene is not of the highest standards and many tourists often suffer from a parasite or bacterial infection!
