Cruises R Fun! - Reviews of Cruise Lines, Cruise Ships, Destinations, Ports And More!
On our cruise aboard the Celebrity Millennium we docked at the port of Alexandria for a day. The port is the biggest port I've ever seen. We took a long bus ride to the pyramids and tombs near Cairo. The buses went in police escorted convoys. If you visit Egypt, be sure to take lots of water on your excursions...it gets quite hot.
When you visit the pyramids, you have to be firm with the locals who swarm all over every bus load of tourists trying to sell them trinkets, camel rides, photos on camels etc.
These are some of our pictures of our bus trip, and of course, the pyramids and the great sphinx. Now I wish I had paid more attention to the guides. I think what I have listed under each of the photographs is accurate, but I wouldn't stake my life on it. This trip just whetted my appetite to see the rest of Egypt.
I also wish I had taken quite a few more pictures. What was I thinking?
