Pyramids and the Opera house

---

I have almost spent a week in Cairo by now and it feels good to stay in the same place for a while. I decided to sleep in a dorm so I get to meet other travellers and I don't feel as lonely.

Yesterday I finally went to see the pyramids and it was indeed very exiting. The bus was the cheapest way to get there and when stepping out I was quite surprised to discover that the pyramids are actually surrounded by a big city ! You usually don't get to see that on the postcards 😊

Two days ago, I got invited to the Cairo Opera House by an egyptian friend who had a his best friend playing violin there. It was quite an experience to listen to an orchestra playing arabic music and I had a great time.

I should get my passport back tomorrow, hopefully with a visa for India. With the paperwork finished, I'll probably head of to Suez and then towards the read sea on Monday.
