In the morning, we headed to the Museum. Our guide, Mina, told us that to see & learn about everything in the museum, we would need about 3 weeks since there is so much history in there – we opted for the 2 hour tour!!! I am not a history buff but I have to admit, we saw some pretty neat stuff & learned a lot. It is amazing to experience a piece of the history in Egypt & to hear a brief description of the main events that took place. The kids were really excited to see the mummies but after going through a room of about 12 mummies, Justin & Amanda decided to stay with Mina while we toured another room full of mummies.
Next, we headed to the Coptic Christian Church & the Muslim Mosque. Again, the history & detailed art work was amazing.
The evening we went to the market to shop – it was crazy! The vendors are very persistent, the alley was narrow, stray cats came out of nowhere & the smell of smoke was everywhere – I actually prefer China markets, & that’s saying a lot!!
