Welcome to Al Simhara and ma'is salāma

Ah, yes, Al Simhara, a little hamlet in comparison to Egypt's jewel of the Nile, Cairo, but still the stopping off point for explorers who wish to visit the pyramids and the Sphinx. And well, Greta and Braden were dropped off in that little hamlet near the base-camp.

Greta and Braden were just here in Al Simhara to enjoy the ambience of the area and not to do any extremely intense tomb-exploration so they spent the majority of their time here enjoying the market and the catacombs.

Of course they took some time at the market to get a bite to eat.

...and then as it was getting late, they headed back to their tent and decided to spend the evening enjoying a good nights sleep so as they could get an early morning start on exploring what Al Simhara had to offer. And an early morning it was. In fact it was even before the sun rose.

When the sun rose finally, it found Greta already brushing off dust from an artifact in the middle of the desert.

Then it was back to base-camp for a little fun and food.

The Al Simhara portion of their trip ended the trip and they headed back home to Riverview. After all, their visa level wasn't high enough to really spend any more than three days in each place and what sort of vacation is that?

Guess they'll have to work on their visa levels in the coming trips...provided that Braden doesn't get deployed to Afghanistan.
