Giza Pyramids

Our group toured the Giza Pyramids. The group arrived at the pyramids at approximately 9:15am and were taken on a tour of the 9 pyramids and the Sphinx located there. The tour guide gave the tour in both Arabic and in English. The group ate lunch together at a buffet restaurant, after which we went to a papyrus shop where students were shown how genuine papyrus is made. This demonstration was also given in Arabic and in English. Finally we visited the Golden Eagle Bazaar, where we were given the opportunity to bargain for their selections from a wide variety of gold and silver items.
