Some of the pictures I took in 1998

	Having fun at Giza!  Riding a camel at the base of the pyramid of Khafre.		At the great pyramids of Giza.     The Sphynx with the pyramid of Khafre in the background.		Another view of the Sphynx.  It was carved in the likeness of king Khafre.
	West bank of Nile, near Karnak. The "Colossi of Memnon", 18m high and weighing 1300 tons.		Phylae, the sacred island of Isis, near Aswan. Dismantled and rebuilt.		Abu Simbel, in Nubian territory. The temple of Ramses II, relocated above the water level.
