Max travels around Egypt

Max had a long plane trip to get to Egypt. First he flew to Kuala Lumper in Malaysia and had a chance to stretch his legs. Then he hopped on another plane and stopped at Bahrain. After this he hopped onto another plane to fly to Cairo, the capital of Egypt. He was travelling for 24 hours – 1 day and was very tired!

In Egypt it was winter and Max was glad that he brought his warm blue jacket with his hood. He really needed it.




His first sight was the Pyramids of Giza. He saw them from the bus on the way to his hotel and he could see them at his hotel – Mena House. There were three pyramids and were built for the Pharaohs.




The pyramids were very large with each stone being a lot taller than Max.

Max tried to climb the Pyramid but had to have a rest. He was a bit scared he might fall and they were too big to climb.



Near the Pyramids was something called the Sphinx. It was GIGANTIC! It had the head of a Pharaoh and the body of a lion. It was carved out of one large piece of rock that they found when building the Pyramids.
