Page 55 - Turkey & Egypt 2020

Our Egyptian odyssey begins at the amazing Great Pyramids of Giza and the nearby Sphinx. At
500 feet high and 750 feet wide at its base, the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) is a breathtaking
man-made structure, built from enormous stone blocks with a white limestone covering.
Together with the smaller pyramids, the sight of these huge structures is unforgettable. Had
lunch at nearby restaurant which overlooking the Pyramids. Afterwards, visited the ancient
capital of Memphis and the famous Step Pyramid of Sakkara. We then found out that Jordan has

closed its borders and that part of the journey was cancelled. Our TAD will continue the Egypt
portion of the trip and all Australian will be asked to return to Oz. Not happy at all! At this point
we were given conflicting information regarding continuation for foreigners to complete the tour
before they get home and closure of Cairo airport next Thursday from midday. We were advised
by The Tour guy that we should continue on our tour but we should fly out of Cairo to Luxor the
next morning. No where to get WIFI or a sim card, what a total mess!

Strict new rule for Aussie travellers
Everyone arriving in Australia from overseas — including returning Australians — will be forced
to self-isolate for 14 days from midnighttonight.
