The bazaar is the same as in these pictures and the Egyptian Museum is amazing. Sadly, there was trash everywhere, literally everywhere. Almost none of the newer construction is completed (rebar sticking out everywhere)in order to avoid taxes. However, I would love to go back. I was there this time 4 years ago and stayed in Giza.

Egypt stays the same in styling for ages it seems, which is both good and bad...

The River Nile in Aswan and Abu Simble temple pictures are majestic too.... amazing!

As many of you note, several of you note how many scenes taken then remain the same! And less garbage! Would love to use some of these as reference for my paintings of Egypt Beautiful photos and many capture the scenes I saw and took pictures of six months ago when we were in Egypt inDecember.
