Egypt is a country that captured my imagination from about the age of ten, when I was shown pictures of the famous pyramids of Giza and the temples that had been moved to higher positions during the construction of the new Aswan Dam. However, I never got to visit this fascinating country until December 2024, when I joined a tour organized by the Travel Department (Ireland). We started in Cairo, where we visited the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum and the old National Egyptian Museum, and were driven to Giza to see the very impressive pyramids.
