Robbie vs the Pharaoh
Just when I think nothing interesting is in the news lately, along comes a novelty story combining 2 of my favorite things of the moment - Egypt and Robbie Williams (British pop star for the Americans amongst us). The Great Pyramid of Giza has stood 4,500 years through the ages, now it faces its toughest challenge!
It seems Robster has decided the acoustics in the Great Pyramid of Giza are irresistible and he simply must check it out to see if he can record part of his next album in the ancient structure. Having recently been inside the second largest of the Pyramids at Giza, I wish him the best of luck but think he is clearly out of his mind. No ventilation inside so the air is stale and hot, 10 minutes inside was all I could handle. Passages are low and narrow, good luck to his crew trying to get equipment in and out. Lastly, the fact it is a burial place for a Pharaoh. The poor Pharaohs of Egypt endured centuries of tomb raiders and gawking tourists traipsing through their resting places, and now a 21st century pop star’s whim!
So, cheeky Robbie Williams is flying to Cairo in December to belt out a few tunes in the Great Pyramid and hear for himself the legendary acoustics. Enjoy your trip Robbie and don’t forget - Viator offers a great range of things to do in Cairo and the rest of Egypt…
