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.

Our friends John and podcast host Nancy join us for an intimate discussion about death in Oregon, USA.
Almost all 50 US states have State-supported home funeral options. Home funerals can address and honor a complex emotional time that fosters family and community to come together to create a unique and meaning experience of saying goodbye to our loved ones.
John opted to have his Mother's funeral at home, with assistance from death doula and our friend Nancy Ward. John shares the story of his Mother's 2023 illness and death using hospice followed by a home funeral he designed with his family, with assistance from Nancy.
We also share a conversation about the end of life and home funeral and natural burial for our Doberman, Dino, who died nine years ago.
