Journeys to Egypt

Welcome to gallery page Egypt 2001

Hotel, Giza: This trip was planned by Rainer, a friend who wanted to write a paper and needed some first hand information and photos. I decided to join him, and another friend, Dirk, and his new wife Tati came with us. Rainer should act as tour guide since he knew many places and people there.
Early in the morning on our departure day the phone rang - Rainer. He had a slipped disc and was unable to move and had to stay at home. Well, that was quite a nice start.
Since we starte at unchristian 6 AM, we arrived at our hotel, the Pyramid Parks in Giza, around noon and decided to make a short visit to the pyramids of Giza. Rainer wanted to look for some unexplained holes on the pavement around the pyramids, and examine a structure called Mauerblock, which function is also unknown, so we checked if we could find any of them. I wanted to look for weathering patterns around the tomb of Chentkaus, because they look very similar to those found at and around of the Sphinx.
