A rarely photographed perspective of the Sphinx's (renovated) rear end.
Looks like the Egyptians are going the Chinese route vis-a-vis restoration to the point of renewed construction employing space-aged technology. If you've been to the restored Badaling section of the Great Wall of China, you should know exactly what I'm talking about. During my first trip to the Sphinx, the rear looked nothing like this and for certain, it wasn't this smooth. Soon enough, you'll be seeing neon lights and billboards advertising Mahmoud's Papyrus Shop directly above the head of the Sphinx.
A rare glimpse of the metropolis seen daily by the Sphinx.
At Daily Travel Photos, we attempt to enlighten as well as show you things from a different perspective, despite suffering through high fever and flu-like symptoms associated with another attack of gout.
Enjoy your weekends folks and pray that, enshallah, my gout retreats soon!
