Alas the pyramids! I've been want to see them since I was just a little guy. Really made me feel tiny. Did the touristy horse ride to the pyramids - why not? I enjoyed a really great light show there as well.
Met many great people during the revolution. I spent time with people in the rally in Tahrir square. Many are good at separating American Policy from American people.
Egypt - land of the scams. So many people trying to talk to you, to get you to buy junk. Most of those sales guys charge ridiculous prices and lie. I think I've heard all of the stories now. It's funny how they ALL have a brother/sister/son/cousin/friend that lives in Minneapolis - ha! Even though, some are trying to sack you for money - I met some really great Egyptians and will go back someday.
Was invited on a yacht boat for a party with 200 people - free booze and good memories!
I was a kid in a candy shop when visiting the Egyptian Museum - king tuts tomb was incredible!
Alexandria is a really nice city on the Mediterranean - loads of history and super inexpensive delicious sea food. Mistake #1 - cracking a crab leg with teeth - result: shell stuck in tooth. Mistake #2 - trying to floss the crab shell out with a tendon from the crab - result: both shell and crab tendon stuck in tooth.
