As the tourists visit the native quarter of Cairo a page of the Arabian Nights is presented. They wind their way through the constant procession of merchants and camels and visit an Egyptian hardware store. They patronize an old lemonade vendor and stop at the shop of a wood-turner. A Mohammedan funeral passes and the paid mourners present an odd sight. Departing from this city the tourists come to the famous pyramid, Cheops, built 2,000 years before Christ's birth. From thence they proceed to the Sphinx in its silent grandeur. A magnificent view of this celebrated figure, 66 feet high and 172 feet long, is presented.
