I haven’t been to Egypt, but I did climb the Pyramid of the Moon near Mexico City and the pyramid at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan. That one at Chichen Itza had very narrow steps, less width than your shoe. Going up was not too bad, but my acrophobia kicked in when I got to the top and I went down on my butt, scooting from step to step and hanging on to a chain that served as a kind of railing. I ruined a good pair of shorts with that butt scoot, but it saved my sanity. The view from the top of the pyramid was terrific but I would not do it again.

In 1984 in Egypt I climbed the Great Pyramid, but on the inside rather than the outside. What a trip!
