A Thousand Miles up the Nile Chapter I - Cairo and the Great Pyramid Part 3
In which the difficulties and perplexities of securing a suitable dahabeeyah for Nile travel are recounted with gentle humour, and a first, brief visit to the imposing pyramids reveals their majestic size and ancient presence in a manner that no prior reading or distant view could prepare one for.
