Tombs of the Pharaohs (by Nathan) July 7

Tombs of the Pharaohs (by Nathan) July 7
We ventured out today in search of the desert. Our cab ride took us through some Egyptian farm land, a few rough roads and a police check point. Finally we found the desert and the statue of king Ramses in Memphis (the first capital of Egypt not Tennessee). Further into the desert we found the step pyramid of Saqqara. The first ever pyramid. Through the tombs we went guided by our new egyptian friend and his son (these "guides" are harder to shake than you think). We learned a little, bakshished a lot, and really enjoyed our first taste of mummies and their tombs
