Ancient Egypt

---

The next day we started our Exodus tour with Ancient Egypt. Of course we had to “do” the pyramids, the sphinx and just desert in general. We also got to spend a couple of hours at the Cairo Museum. It includes artifacts going back as much as 5,000 years and many mummified remains of pharos, pharos’ wives and some other important people from thousands of years ago.

From there we crossed under (yes, under) the Suez Canal and onto the Sinai Peninsula following the route that Moses and the Israelites took across the desert. We stayed the next night at the foot of Mt. Sinai, where Moses received the 10 Commandments and he spoke to God in the burning bush.
