		The trees give but little shade under a vertical sun; and we are glad to escape from the glare into the old town, with its narrow winding lanes, sometimes roofed over, and its red and white mosques with their picturesque minarets, and the comparative stillness of unpaved roadways.
		The road for the rest of the way is bordered by trees, which somewhat intercept the view of the pyramids, and as it runs in a straight line for the last four miles, we only gain occasional glimpses of the gigantic cairns till we are quite close to them.
