Stone replicas of sacred beetles being sold at the Panorama Point in Giza

The dung beetle was held as sacred in ancient Egypt, due to various symbolism (it was supposed to be close to the gods in the way that the young of the beetle emerged from their dung burrows, as well as being shown as pushing the setting sun across the sky).

Tourists, seen against the backdrop of the Great Pyramid, at Giza in Egypt

I really like this photo. It shows tourists at the Panorama point in Giza, just a few hundred meters from the Great Pyramids, and with a great view of all 3 Pyramids. In this photo, you can see tourists with the Great Pyramid in the background.

The tourist police can be found at all popular tourist locations in Egypt. Ever since some years back, there were attacks on tourists, there has been a huge push to ensure that tourists are secure and have a feeling of safety. As a result, you have armed police everywhere, and when tourists have to go to remote locations to see some monument, they are escorted by police.

This is a photo of tourists at the Panorama point in Giza, from where you get a great view of all 3 Pyramids. It is also a great point to shoot photos of the 3 pyramids, and typically you will find somebody who has got a tripod to take some professional type photos of the pyramids.
