SAKKARA,
MEMPHIS
Back to Cairo, Sakkara, Memphis, Going home
We spent the last two days in South-West Cairo, in Hotel
Europe (Shari AL-Haram).
From the hotel we had a panorama at the Pyramids. On the last day we visited to
Sakkara
and Memphis. Our flight back to Hungary was a real adventure, as our flight was
cancelled
because of the war in Iraq. So we got home through Prague.
| A small mosque on
the road.

View at the Pyramids, from the roof terrace of Hotel Europe.
|
Road Al-Haram alway has a high traffic. |
Roofs are used for keeping odds and ends... |
| Hotel Europe was very comfortable and cheap, with a nice swimming-pool on the roof. |
Sakkara. |
The photo was again a MUST.... | Memphis. Big statue of Ramses II. |
| His right hand is quite big... |
Another view from upstairs... |
Alabaster Sphinx from the New Kingdom. (c.a. 3300 years old) |
On the airport
road... Northern Cemetery or 'City of the Dead'. A world of old tombs and mosques. A place where poor families live even today. |
| A funny scenario... Statues in Transit Hall of Prague Airport. |
