Memphis is the home of a large sphinx carved of Alabaster.
Memphis also houses the colossal sandstone statue of Ramses II.
Sakkarah; the step Pyramid of Zoser, that looks like a layered cake.
A vendor selling water & pop at the pyramids. Ask Ralph about the one who took him for 50 Egyptian pounds......another great story!
The Great Sphinx or the "Father of Terror "- 73 metres in length.
Our new friend Lily (from Calgary) standing on Chephren with the Micerinus Pyramid behind her.
The Cheops Pyramid - with the Pyramid for a Queen in the background.
The second largest Gizeh Pyramid called Chephren. Only a cap of alabaster is left on this Pyramid as the rest have been pilfered.
The sun sets on the Pyramids of Gizeh. Another great day in Egypt.
