We woke up early had breakfast, went to the Egyptian museum, the pyramids, and the sphinx all in one day. The Egyptian museum was one of my favorite highlights of the whole tour. It just had so many incredible artifacts. We actually went twice & still did not see everything in the museum.
After the museum we had koshery for lunch which is one of my favorite traditional meals. It is like spaghetti mixed with lentils, crunchy noodles, garlic, and other herbs that make it sooooo delish. They have koshery restaurants all over Egypt. Imagine a restaurant that can be as big as 4 floors only serving one thing on the menu, and it is always packed.

Gotta have the cheesy tourist photo.
Could we be on the Bangles music video?
Sarah caught me having a moment with the pyramids.

The main reason why the pyramids were created was for the pharaohs & wealthy to be comfortable when they came back to their afterlife. They were the first civilization to start mummifying or burying their dead. They believed that they would come back just how they were left so they wanted to preserve themselves as best as possible as well as their belongings. They even would put their servants near them so when they all came back they would have their proper help.
The Egyptians were such an incredible civilization. They invented paper, perfume, beer, and wine. We saw the three most famous pyramids & got to walk inside one of them. There are tons of temples & over 100 other pyramids scattered all through Egypt. I feel like we saw a lot on our 2 week tour, but it would take more than a lifetime to see all the ruins & artifacts. At every temple that we went to there were teams of people still doing excavations. They are constantly discovering new artifacts.
