view of the city and the Nile from the hotel room:
This is another highlight, this time a very interesting trip to Egypt, wonderful, great spectacular. We were last October, to coincide with our wedding anniversary and birthday Juanma. You'll
completing and extending further details of all the places we visited, because I still remember my ideas and so many interesting information about this ancient culture. Personally
was the great dream of my life. I am passionate about this country forever. Our wonderful guide
gave us the idea to shoot first entrance to each place visited, and from there make the photos. So as we found it easier to identify the photos.
Ghiza The Pyramids:
As we crossed the city, was exciting to discover to us the pyramid in the background, which almost went unnoticed . We did not know you were so close to Cairo.
are curious houses, many were built and left unfinished on the top floor and left without plastering the walls. For 2 reasons, one, for when the children want an independent house, then constructed on the house of the parents who have already prepared the columns or pillars leading to the iron sight. The other reason is because they inhabit an unfinished house, without plastering the outside, you pay less tax.
What wonder, the Pyramids in the background, almost unnoticed.
View of the 3 pyramids: 
Juanma imagination go! 
The second pyramid
is the only one that still retains the top partly covered by slabs of marble, as should be the other, to the ground, more than 3,000 years ago:
is the middle pyramid, and the only one that can be visited inside. Juan and Andrea came only because we must traverse a narrow aisle, very low ceiling, until you reach the burial chamber of Khafre. I suffer with claustrophobia, I was unable to enter. I resigned myself knowing that the camera is empty and I've seen plenty of times hieroglyphics on the walls in History Channel.
When I have time I try not to miss the chapters on any topic related to Egypt, History Channel.
is where I have seen several times the interior galleries of the pyramids, with handrails on both sides of the walls to avoid slipping and to maintain balance while moving, half bent, sloping.
The Step Pyramid:
It was the first to be built:
Mit Rahina Museum:
sculpture of Ramses II, made after his death, and that was part of a palace, now destroyed, located nearby. 
Tomb carved in stone. Was without cover, they devised a box flipped, so that the opening is down, face down, to prevent looting so. Yet the devised another strategy for thieves to steal, they made a fire around the grave, and then threw cold water. The temperature difference to the outbreak of the stone. Case solved:
Luxor Temple:
From here, our boat trip down the Nile, first stop in Luxor.
is the ancient city of Thebes. Located on the banks of river Nile, communicates with the temple of Karnak, about 3 miles, through a wide avenue with sphinxes carved in stone, on either side.
Fresh Christian religious motifs made on the ruins of the temple, made centuries later, as other later religions temples were located the old building.

The Valley of the Kings:
Day really suffocating. A visit to several graves where photography was prohibited inside.
Colossi of Memnon :
already on the boat, a very hot night but wonderful.
Relax on deck. What is our amazement when they start to rain Egyptian linen bags, which fall on the deck. We looked and down we see a few boats that we launch more bags to choose what you like best. A voice shouted the price of each bag, for example: 15 "iuros." If you are happy and your size is fine, the payment system is the same: you put money in the bag and throw it into the boat. Well, more than once were falling water bags, of course.
