2006 - Egypt, Israel - Day 5

Today we drove to Memphis. We stopped at a small museum and saw a statue of Rameses the 2nd. We then drove to the Saqqara Valley and saw the Step Pyramid. We also went to a pit tomb and walked down into the ground and crawled through tunnels to find an empty sarcophagus. Mark climbed in and we got pictures! We then went to a carpet store and watch how they were made. We then stopped at a nearby restaurant for lunch. We drove back to Cairo and went to the Cairo museum. We saw King Tut’s treasures and the mummy room. After the museum we went to a huge bazaar called Kahn el Kalili.
