What can you say when you stand in front of the pyramids - truly awesome sight. Just a word of warning though be very careful of offers to ride camels etc. They use intimidation and threats to extort money out of you. three members of our tour group had bad experiences. If you must , negotiate a reasonable price first and stick to it, they wil try to extort more money out of you. We heard of lady in a previous tour that was taken out into the desert for an hour and half and they refused to broing her back until they had cleaned out her wallet. I had three guys surrounding all shouting at me to give more money. Another member of our group was taken behind some rocks and physically threatened. A favorite trick is to say they have no change and take the note and then clear off. The security guards around are useless. In short marvel at the sights, enjoy the experience but keep yourself to yourself and don't let anybody take a photograph of you except members of your own group.
