Sand and Camels

Oh yah, and the Pyramids

A few photos from the Giza plateau near the pyramids. Jeff, Mamoon, and I rented camels for a few hours and hired a guide—Ragab—to take us riding and then get us in the “back door” of the Pyramids site. Something that he insisted was the “Egyptian way.”

It was a great time, even though we did get chased off by the cops, on camel-back. The kid that was minding the camels pulled the reins of mine down so that the camel would lower his head and then somehow scrambled up his neck and threw himself onto the saddle in front of me before inciting the camels to trot away from the cop at a clip.

Fun times.
