Day2: Spinx and Papyrus Paper Painting Factory.

After about 2 hours by the Great Pyramid of Giza, we went to Sphinx. The monument of Pharoah head with lion's body. I think it's about 500 meters distance from Pyramid of Giza. We spent about 1.5 hours by the Sphinx.

After hours under the sun at the pyramid and Sphinx, we went to shophouses area opposite the Sphinx. We had pizza hut while enjoying Sphinx and Pyramid view.

Pizza on the 1st floor and KFC on the ground floor.

After lunch, we continue to painting factory where they demonstrate us how ancient Egypt people made paper from papyrus tree.

Actually, it is more like a painting gallery with papyrus painting on the wall but travel guide call it factory to make it looks more educational trip. They getting 5% of whatever we paid on the painting.

After the demonstration, we can choose which painting we like and the cost varies from 200 LE to more than 1000 LE. But of course you need to bargain. We bought one, size about 1ft x 2ft cost around 300LE. Paid 200LE after bargain. We are not very good on bargaining though.
