I learned that about 5,000 people visit the pyramids every day. The second thing I learned was that it is believed that the massive statues carved into the mountainside were built to impress and intimidate the Nubians. I also learned that haggling is a part of the shopping experience. The fourth thing I learned is that the Sahara Desert stretches over three thousand miles. Finally I learned that the best time to visit North Africa is either in the spring time or fall due to the hot dry summers and cold wet winters.
