You constantly have to escape the hassle of vendors and camel drivers on a visit to the pyramids.
At the age of 11, I unexpectedly went on holidays to Zambia with my sister and parents. On the way back, we made a stop-over in Egypt. And although I have travelled a lot ever since, I never returned to Egypt ever after until recently. We obviously visited the pyramids near Cairo, and then went to the South, to Luxor. There, we rented bicycles, and cycled around the area. I clearly remember how impressed I was, when I saw the huge temples and statues, and how mystified I was by the inscriptions to be found everywhere. We also visited the National Museum in Cairo, from which I only remember the endless amount of items on display, and the feeling I had that I was seeing something of incredible importance without the ability to grasp its actual meaning, its links with other cultures, the shrewdness of the ancient Egyptians.
