Hi - we were surprised at the sheer size of them. We never realised that they are that big. What surprised us was there was no protection for the Sphinx. There were tons of birds pecking away at it.

When you go to Egypt I think it would be a shame not to go and see the Pyramids. At least you can say you have been. We had been to Egypt loads of times before we went to Cairo last year. Everytime we went everyone kept asking if we had seen the Pyramids and it was getting a bit embarrasing saying no. My teenagers thought the museum was really interesting. In a nutshell would we go back to Caro - no - once was enough for us.
