Continuing the journey past the museums, for another seven miles on the tram car, one arrives at the foot of the range of hills on which are the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx and old tombs. On alighting from the tram, the visitor (if he is a European and looks like a tourist) is immediately surrounded by a host of donkey and camel boys who offer to take him up the steep, winding road to the foot of the Pyramid for the small sum of 5 piastres (one shilling) or two if they can’t get five.
