Amogh in Egypt

In April 2017 Amogh N P travelled across Egypt with his family. They saw the pyramids of Giza at dusk, the colossus of Ramesses II at Memphis and the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. In Cairo there was the Egyptian Museum and dinner in Khan el-Khalili. In Alexandria, during the AlexORL congress, the family visited the catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Citadel of Qaitbay. The last stop was El Alamein, on the edge of the Western Desert.
