Over Egypt, I was looking for the Pyramids. I have not found them yet, but I got pretty detailed shots of Cairo. It is quite hard to spot small (well seen from space) things from 400 km above while travelling at 28 800 km/h. It is a fun pastime in the evening and on a lunchbreak.

J’ai eu beau chercher à plusieurs reprises en survolant l’Égypte, je n’ai pas encore trouvé les pyramides… Par contre, j’ai maintenant de clichés très nets du Caire ! Mais je n’abandonne pas ma quête pour autant…
