Your walk begins on the Giza Plateau, outside of Cairo,
near the Pyramids - the only remaining of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World."
Your walk takes you around two sides of the Great Pyramid.
It is believed the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for Egyptian pharaoh Khufu
and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC.
On your walk, you get close enough to the ancient blocks of stone to almost touch them.
And, as your walk continues, you pass other visitors and Egyptians on camels.
Next the 60 minute walk takes you to the Temple of Philae,
located on an island in the Nile River.
Dedicated to the Egyptian Goddess, Isis, this temple was moved
to a new island by international effort to save it from being submerged
by a change in water level caused by the construction of the High Dam at Aswan.
Next, your walk takes you to Edfu and the Temple of Horus.
Of all the temples that still exist in Egypt, the
Temple of Horus is the most completely preserved.
Your walk thoroughly explores this amazing temple. From the statue of Horus
that greets visitors at the entrance, to the well preserved hieroglyphics that cover the walls,
you see this ancient temple "up close and personal."
The last section of this 60 minute virtual walk takes you to the famous
bazaar at Khan el Khalili.
As you make your way through the throng of Egyptian shoppers,
you'll experience all the sights and sounds just as if
you were actually walking in this timeless marketplace.
Your walk ends in a quiet side alleyway of the bazaar,
as you discover a patient Egyptian mother and her 4 young.
