I need some specific information about Egypt, things that can probably only be answered by someone who has been there.
First of all, in the novel I am working on, the main character needs to mail a letter. What are the postal services in Cairo? Can you only get stamps and mail letters in places that are dedicated to that purpose, such as post offices, or do some tourist spots, such as gift shops, have postal services?
The other information I presently need is about the Great Pyramid, specifically the underground chamber. I am aware that, sometimes, it is closed to tourists, but I need to know exactly how the passage is blocked. Is it a gate? If so, what does it look like and how is it locked?
Down in the underground chamber there is a dead end passage. Is this passage open or closed to prevent tourists from entering it? If it is blocked in some way, I have the same questions as above on how.
Any information that I can get would be very appreciated. If no one here has the answers, could someone direct me to a site where I might find them?
