In January 2010 I had the opportunity to take a quick 7-days vacation.
Destination: Hurghada, Egypt.
Hotel: Imperial Shams Abu Soma Resort 5* Hotel (Safaga).

I have already posted some HDR Photos of Imperial Shams Hotel, now it is time to post photos from the trip itself.

And as you cannot visit Egypt and not see the Pyramids, we had an excursion to Giza (Cairo) and took some photos of the Great Pyramid of Giza (of Kheops/Cheops), Pyramid of Khafre, The Great Sphinx, Mastabas, etc. If only the locals didn’t bother us as much as they did, the trip would have been MUCH more enjoyable.

Cairo itself is a very chaotic place, traffic is infernal! Do I want to visit it again? No, that’s for sure.
