Never.
We studied a text in our English class. it's about the mysterious pyramids. Egypt is one of the four famous countries with ancient civilization. It's said that a lot of people who had entered those pyramids died strangly....

a mysterious country indeed

Egypt, is fascinating and enigmatic.

Luxor Temple is impressive and so are other temples and places in Egypt.

Ancient Egyptians Gods were quite different to these modern days.
A sample of that:
God of /Name/Appearance
Sun Ra head of falcon and sun disk
Music Hathor horns of cow and sun disk
Destruction Sekhmet head of lion
Sky Nut blue with golden stars
Earth Geb colour of plants and Nile mud
Dead Osiris dressed in white with crook and flail
Desert Seth animal head with long curved snout
Pharoah Horus head of hawk and crown of Egypt
Magic Isis throne on head or holding baby
Wisdom Thoth head of ibis
Embalming Anubis head of jackal
Justice Ma'at feather in her hair
Creation Amun crowned with feathers
Cats Bastet head of cat

Why are you asking for Thebes Ali?

coffee

Was there about 2 years ago.. amazing place and very nice and friendly people. Shame about the littering around the roads out in the desert area... The diving there was great and obviously seeing the pyramids and the Sphinx was a highlight...

Yes is a beautiful place. I got on a camel for a ride for $5 and when i came back he was asking for $10 to lower the camel so i can get down. I gave him my fingure and jump down and let the rest know what a crook he was. Other wise don't drink any water from there only bottle water you get sick.

I was there for some years ago. we were driving in busses with armed convoy protecting us everywhere, there were no toilets in the busses, many hours drive, nowhere to hide in the desert if you want to pee. We have been in all those historic places but always with several armed men as a protection. In the tombs it was nice. In the pyramids it was totally dark, no light except at the start and finish, we went very tightly one after another in total darkness, you can’t either breath no ventilation, or stretch in full length. Everywhere in Egypt people were chasing us trying to sell something, you can never just take a stroll in peace.

I won't dare even walk there, and the most of the city look like ruins where people still live.
