Cairo Pyramids

...they won't keep the hustlers off you. For that, hire a guide or camel pilot or learn a few words of Arabic, for example...Emshi ya walid! [Take a hike, kid!]

Henry:
As one would expect we did all the usual things in Cairo and went to see the pyramids at Giza and the museum which were of course magnificent. We also took in the older pyramids at Dashur and Saquarra which were less spectacular, but much more interesting and atmospheric because there were fewer tourists around and we could go down into them and see the tombs inside.
