Egypt - Friday June 14th, 2019 [Day 10]
Second site of the day - Elephantine Island. Mostly in ruins, but has two Nilometers (I didn't see either), a possible 3rd Dynasty Pyramid (didn't see that either), and a megalithic box/shrine ... I totally saw that.

Egypt - Thursday, June 6th, 2019 [Day 2]
Private visit to Abu Rawash. Police and armed official escort, blocked from walking around the entire pyramid and/or exploring the causeway. It seemed like a case of law enforcement wanting their palms thoroughly greased.
