Egypt: Walk like an Egyptian

The Saqqara pyramids - First and oldest pyramids

Making Papyrus

The largest pyramid in Egypt (originally 146 meters tall)

Today we visited the Pyramids! First up was the oldest pyramid at Saqqara - a step pyramid built around 5,000 years ago. After Saqqara we learned to make papyrus, and then soldiered on to the Great Pyramid (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world). We rounded out our day by catching a camel ride overlooking the pyramids and visiting the Sphinx.
