Dogs rule, cats suckI just got back from Egypt and it was the best vacation ever! I went to Luxor, Alexandria, Cairo, and Giza. The water in Alexandria was crystal clear! Here is what I did.
Day 1
When I got to my hotel in Cairo, I rested and looked out my window at the pyramids.
Day 2
I took a camel down to the pyramids and sphinx, and I went inside one of the pyramids, the camel ride was a wonderful experience and it was so much fun. I went inside a tomb, then I went inside of another tomb called the tomb of Qar, I forgot what the other tomb was called. That night I went on a cruise down the Nile river.
Day 3
I went down to the step pyramid Saqqara, then I saw some other ruined pyramids, I went down to a perfum shop and got some perfum, then I went to a carpet school and saw homeless poor kids make rugs, and they gave me a rug so I gave them some money, whitch is Egyptian pound in Egypt. I went to a Papyrus shop, and bought some Papyrus whitch is Egyptian paper, its really cool. Then I went to another store. Then I went to a museum and saw the famous albaster sphinx that was found in Luxor, then I went to the Egyptian museum aka Cairo museum. I saw the fase masked of King Tut and I saw the Sarcophagus's of King Tut. I saw more stuff too, but that was my favorite attraction. Then I went to the Pharaonic village and saw people dress up and act like the Ancient Egyptians. Then I went to Old Cairo and went to the Citidal, then I went to lots of castles.

I went inside so many tombs including King Tut's. I saw King Tut in his tomb and it was so cool. I went to the Temple of Karnak the largest temple in the world, and I went to the Temple of Luxor. They both were so neat. Then I sailed down the Nile, Then I went to a light show back at the Temple of Karnak. Then I went back to Cairo.
