Last summer my family and I went to Egypt. At the beginning of our trip, we went on a cruise on the River Nile. We left Cairo on Monday morning and got back on Thursday evening. It was a wonderful experience. Then we stayed in Cairo for five days. We went sightseeing and of course we went to the Egyptian Museum, too. There were so many interesting things to see there. We even saw the mummy of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun! We also visited the Pyramids of Giza and took lots of pictures.
They were amazing! My parents and I also tried camel riding. It was lots of fun. My sister didn’t want to go anywhere near the animal. You see, she was afraid. I really want to visit Egypt again. It’s beautiful and there are many things to see and do there!
