A far more informative travel article than the usual offerings. This is the first of a two-parter. This part looks at why more Americans are traveling to Egypt, what Egyptian security is like, a short but informative overview of pyramids and Giza with a pragmatic description of the sound-and-light show, an evocative account of the sites and sights of Cairo, and a short description of the Egyptian Museum: "Some 150,000 artifacts cram dusty wooden display cases where typewritten cards describe the items. Crowds huddle around them vying for a peek as their guides jockey for position and raise their voices to be heard above the throng."
See the above page for the full story - part two, which appears next week, will look at a Nile Cruise.
