[QUOTE]Originally posted by cbrbddd: [QB] SG and Ayisha, I agree with all your replies and suggestions also, having visited the Pyramids several times since 2004 with the last time being in Feb. 2010, I believe that Zahi hawass's efforts to get the area a bit cleaned up/more organized have had a slight impact. . . but it is still a long way from fencing all the tourists away from the Egyptians, lol. My first visit in 2004, I had a "memorable" experience of being charged too much for a horse ride after being dragged off to visit the tourist shops (perfume, papyrus) before I got to see the Sphinx . . . we were told that the horses couldn't go there . . . but when I asked to get off the horse . . . well, you know how it goes :) . . . I ended up arguing about paying when asked to pay at the perfume/papyrus shop . . . and I was with an Egyptian who was going around with me for the day to help negotiate, etc !!!! Very naive about all this back then but I did get some great photos of Pyramids. In Feb. 2010 i walked up to the Pyramids on my own, refused all offers of carriages, horses, camels and walked around on my own. I think a tent with benches and drinks on offer would have been welcomed at some point . . . even in Feb. the sun can be quite fierce. And got on the photos of the Sphinx that I wanted this time.
