Arrived at Giza Metro Station.

10 November 2011 - MCP crew went on a photography trip to Giza. The trip was planned a night before without any detailed preparation. We departed by bus from Mansoura on that morning and arrived at Cairo at noon.

Upon arriving, we decided to take the cheapest public transport around, which is the 'Metro'.  It only cost us 1 EGP for a 15 minute trip from Ramsis Bus Station to Giza Metro Station. From there, we took a cab to The Pyramid of Giza which took about 20 minute.

Just outside the pyramid where the cab dropped us, we were greeted by a travel agent that offered us a trip around the pyramid by horse or camel. The package we took includes a ride around the 3 pyramids and sphinx which costs us 180 EGP per person. We decided to take the camel ride around the pyramid and from there our great adventure begins.

After an exhausting ride around the pyramids, we then decided to pack our stuff and headed to City Star in Heliopolis. We wrapped our journey with some feast at Fuddruckers before heading back home to Mansoura.
