The first time we saw the Pyramids, we were on a day tour. Our guide was very good, informative, and showed us quite a lot of Cairo in one day. However, we wanted to spend more time at the Pyramids. Today we have what is called “a day at your leisure” before we catch a 12:30 AM flight to our next destination. I am not sure why all of the fights here are at such ridiculous times but they are. Oh well. This is part of the adventure associated with traveling.
On day 2 at the Pyramids, we did it our way. There was no tour. We just hired a car for the day to take us exactly where we wanted to go and to stay as long as we wanted to. Today was a fabulous day!
Tours are fine. Sometimes they are the best way to see sites. However, if you are willing to go it on your own, you have the opportunity to experience so much more. You do take more risks but you also get a chance to see things the typical person on a tour does not.
