Egypt's 1st largest city - Cairo and 2nd largest city Alexandria. Somehow garbage are piled somewhere near the street or scattered on the street. I did not see traffic lights. Cars are jammed on the the street. You can see sudden U turn cars.
We went to Egypt by Cruise ship, Star Princess, and she parked on Alexandria harbour. From Alexandria to Giza Pyramids about 3 hours by our chartered tour bus which is equipped with a toilet.
In Cairo, we visited Giza Pyramids and Sphinx. It is my childhood dreaming destination. From Pyramid to Marriott which is near river Nile. The hotel has guests from Queens, Kings, Presidents to celebrities. Our lunch is served there. About one thousand customers to attend a special buffet lunch. It was like nightmare. From Marriott to the Egyptian Museum takes about one hour, the distance is short but the streets are jammed with cars. The museum has strange restriction - no photo. We all have to leave photo and audio cameras in the bus. Our guide trip takes only one hour, the major attraction for our tour is Tutankhamun treasure - gold mask(225kg), coffins, jewelries. From museum to Alexandria port authority takes about 3.5 hours.
Alexandria - Library is the major attraction. The ground is pretty dirty.
