Mit Rahina Museum, Memphis, Egypt

-------------------------------------------
Met a fellow traveller in Cairo that had similar ambitions -- hire a taxi for the day to take us to the sites in Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis. The driver was not a guide, but understood enough English to understand where we wanted to go. We fed the driver and supplied drinks as a bonus. I've done this often, and wish more travellers would do the same for their drivers and guides.

Think I'll travel south to Aswan, then work my way back up north.
