The morning started with a visit to the remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the great pyramids of Giza. It was huge and it must have been some view during it’s time.

After lunch we visited a perfume shop where we were briefed on the benefits of different types of perfume and smell the different type. At the end, we bought a few of it. The next stop was Memphis, sort of an open air museum where the statue of Ramses II was located plus few other statues.
Nearby Memphis is Sakkara, where the step pyramid is located plus some other pyramid. From here we can actually see the other pyramids around Cairo. Around this area, there were plenty of Carpet factory, they actually called themselves as Carpet School. I’m not sure the meaning of the “school” part but we’ve noticed kids were weaving the carpets.
