Nick, The people we saw riding the camels, are just on them for a short distance. They take tourists around the area of the pyramids. Abigail, We have not seen any hippos, except carvings on temple walls. Our guide told us that there are still wild hippos in the Nile, but further south in Sudan.

It sounds like you are on the go 24/7. The children were interested in how papyrus was made. I printed the directions on how to make and weave it. If time permits, it would be a fun activity for them to try. We look forward to hearing about your next adventure. We miss you. Take care, Lisa We are enjoying Egypt through your travels.
