The Pyramids and the Sphinx

We spent just one day in the Cairo area. In the morning we visited the Pyramids and the Sphinx. In the afternoon we went to the Egyptian Museum, where we saw, among many other amazing things, the treasure of Tutankhamun and the mummies of the Pharaohs. Sadly we were not allowed to take photos in the museum.
