It's very nice country and it has wonderful weather

Egypt

Yeah and an unstable government and terrorism. Sounds like Paris in the 40's!

* Fireworks every night.
* Day and night, day and night



Welcome Egypt
* The heart of civilization

Boom!

How did egyptiains build the pyramids?

Haven't you heard ?...it was a type of concrete after all...only took us a few hundred years to figure it out.

I was there in 1985. Very hot burring the day. Cool almost cold and damp at nite. I also was in the great pyramid too.

I visited Egypt in the mid-1970's, complements the US Navy. We anchored outside Port Said. US Special Services offered a bus trip to Cairo for $28. We saw the Sphinx, several pyramids, many ' Hey, Joes!' selling jewelry, assorted leather goods, camel and horse rides. A couple of ship mates started climbing one pyramid. They weren't close to the half way point when the bus pulled out to go to the Museum downtown.

From a distance the edges of the pyramids looked like straight lines. However, when standing next to them with your hand on the carved blocks, limestone I believe, it was incredible to see just how harsh time and wind had worn the edges down.

While sitting in traffic, I looked down one of the cross streets and witnessed a transaction taking place between a woman and man. They were standing next to a large black object hanging outside a doorway and she was counting coins into the man's hand. When he felt enough coins were exchanged, he drew a long skinny blade from his belt, rubbed his hand down the hanging object exposing purple ink and cut a large piece of meat off the carcass. He turned to the woman and placed the meat into some newspaper she had unfolded to accept her purchase and wrapped it tightly around the meat. The spot the butcher had cut was black once again - Flies!

Egypt turned out to have been an educational place to visit.

I would love to visit there. Is it safe for Americans?

I ddid my National Service in Suez and have been back to EGY four times since.I love the people.

Went to Egypt and Turkey in 2009, enjoyed the visit, but wouldn't go now.

..ummm.. I believe the center is just full of scrap bits and pieces from the Quarry.. and garbage.. and sand of course.. just the Outer Perimeter is Stone.... which would account for.. the amount of rock They carried out of the Quarry does not match up with the amount of rock it would take to build a solid Stone. Pyramid... so I read somewhere..lol..

I wish I could...lol!! Perhaps one day. The city I live in is named after an ancient Egyptian city....Memphis, TN.....we even have a Pyramid...that is now a huge Bass Pro Shop.

Been to Egypt twice, enjoyed it a lot. Loads of beautiful fish :-D and really lovely staff in the hotel. Feel so sorry for them as many hotels have had to close down.
Outside of the hotel, I got to know a different kind of world for one day...poverty stricken town...yet some friendly encounters.
I hope your country will get back on it's feet one day
