We came to the final day. The 13th day of the tour on 11/2/2025 which also adds up to 13 in numerology. 1313 for those who know me is very important. 11/11 - 12/12 - 13/13. Anyway the Grand Cairo Museum opened the night before our final trip to the Great Pyramid. I was so bummed because this trip has been so exhausting and the last day was going to be an easy one. But our Pyramid visit had to be pushed back to nighttime because of all the traffic due to the opening of the new museum. Boy was I wrong! Pulling into the empty Giza Plateau at night with the moon hanging over the Geeat Pyramid was so surreal. Again we had a private tour of the King’s Chamber, the Queen’s Chamber and the Subterranean Chamber. It was like Halloween on steroids plus Indiana Jones! We were not allowed to take pictures or videos of the insides of the chambers but we were allowed to do so on the way to them. I put the video I took in my stories because it cut off the top. This was truly the APOTHEOSIS. A word...
