Saqqara and Dahshur
We shared a car with another couple at the hotel and traveled south to the older pyramid, tomb, and temple complex of Saqqara and pyramids of Dahshur.

“Cop” tic Cairo
The Coptic Christian area of Cairo dates back at least to the first century A.D. and the remains of the Roman fort that still very present today. There is also the “Hanging Church” and the Greek church of St. George. The area is easily accessible directly from the metro, but also entirely surrounded by walls and armed tourist police.
We also took a walk around the "Garden District"
