Standing in the shadow of these wonders of the world transports one into the living pages of history. Awesome. We ended the day with a visit to the egyptian museum. The place is packed with artifacts. We saw king tut's stuff. Serious collection of gold! Right now, I am smelling of egyptian essential oil aka perfume. More long lasting than perfume as no alcohol. Its amazing how many of the famous perfume brands have base notes which can be found here. My fellow travellers shopped heavily at the perfume shop. All are coming away smelling great! Aroma therapy indeed! Egyptian style. [Above:
