The Shroud Key
“Sameh is behind the wheel of a white Toyota Land Cruiser that’s been stocked with food, water, weapons, night vision gear, sleeping bags … you name it. Everything you need for survival in the desert which just might include staying alive during a potential shoot out with some nasty radical Muslim bandits bent on stealing the remains of the Christian Messiah.
I ride shotgun while Anya occupies the safer back seat, directly behind Sameh. She has her window down and she seems mesmerized by the... pyramids as we pass them by on a gently inclining sand-covered road that leads to nowhere but wide open desert.
On our way around the pyramids we pass by camels and donkeys and the Arab jockeys who ride them and offer the beasts up to the scattering of tourists for rides. Robed beggars walk barefoot in the sand while gawkers try to push what they refer to as traditional Arab head-dresses. They sell mini-pyramids and small colorful square beads said to be magic treasure uncovered in the tombs.MoreLess
