Pyramid time! It's our second visit to Egypt and we tackled Cairo on our own as independent travelers—unlike our first time as part of a tour group.
It's totally doable, enjoyable and rewarding! There were some twists and turns in our generous week-long visit! We visited a couple new places (Wadi El Rayan and the Faiyum Oasis) and some simple favorites from our first visit like having lunch at Khan El Khalili Restaurant & Naguib Mahfouz Cafe in the lively central Cairo bazaar.
And of course we ascended the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid to the King's Chamber. Listen to the podcast for a tip on how you can get a VIP-like private visit on the cheap! No need to pay the special access fee for some privacy!
We also visited Luxor (and Dendera and Abydos) covered on a separate podcast.

#24 — Soon We Go Around the World in 85 Days Including an Uneasy Stop in a New Authoritarian America
Rich has been away from the United States for over a year and will be returning later this summer, along with hubby Paul, to a country our podcast host Commissioner Nancy Ward says is in turmoil and will be unrecognizable.
We're uneasy about going home! We talk at length about recent outrageous, oddly un-American political developments in the United States.
A hasty departure from our troubled America will be followed by a month in northern Italy and two weeks in Egypt. We're going around the world in 85 days. In this podcast we preview our careful planning.
