Camel Ride at Giza, Sound and Light Show

We spent the evening on camels and horses in the desert near the pyramids. Next we watched the Sound and Light show at the base of the Giza site.

The view of the Giza pyramids in the light of the setting sun last night was stunning. An unexpected bonus was the echoing, melodic sound of at least dozens of muezzins intoning the azan (the call to prayer) all at once from every corner of Cairo, as we sat atop our chosen animals with the pyramids rising majestically on the horizon.
