A little after 2am I arrived back at my hotel room and I was so tired I could barely walk! I hit the bed and hoped I wouldn't be too sick the next day to enjoy my last day in Egypt!
Check out the atmosphere in the hotel dining room! I felt like a character in a Mahfouz novel as I sat at my quaint, colonial table for one and tried to figure a plan for the next day or two.
I decided to hire a car for the day, and drive outside of Cairo to visit three different sites: Saqqara, home of the oldest stone monument in human history; Dahshur, home to Snofru's Red Pyramid and Snofru's Bent Pyramid (I swear I'm not even making guy's name up!) and (ancient Egyptian city of) Memphis, home to the Colossus of Ramses II!
