The following sites include panoramic views and virtual tours of Egypt and the pyramids.
In many instances, the sites need Flashplayer or other plug-ins to work; however, most of them are loaded in the labs. If you would like to develop an internet activity using these sites (a scavenger hunt, for example), please visit me. I hope you find these sites useful.
