Actually theyre more like 100 miles inland, but more to the point, theyre 100 miles inland FROM AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT OCEAN.... :P Mr Bays new and improved geography puts the pyramids in Taba (rather than Cairo, 200+ miles away), the city at the north end of the Gulf of Aqaba (part of the Red Sea), and apparently only about 10 minutes from Petra (actually about 60-70 miles inland north). Taba is a coastal city, so getting tanks there fast, once you accept the new location of the pyramids, is probably the easiest thing to get over... :P

Come to sunny Taba- centrally located and close to, apparently, damn near everything! :P

Yeah, Mr Bay decided to neglect the whole Sinai Peninsula.

I made the trip from Cairo to Petra about 6 months ago. With the whole border crossing and all, it takes around 10-12 hours.

Plus the temple they go into in Petra is at the top of a hill that takes you at least an hour from the entrance of Petra, that is if you are jogging to it.

Unrelated, but if you go to Egypt. South of Taba there is a little city called Nueiba. Anywhere between these two places, you will see huts by the beach. They cost like 5 bucks a night with meals included. Best freakin place to just go and relax

Unfortuately the movie focus is still on the kid(trying to appeal to a general audience I know, but it sucks), but overall it was much better than the first where Bay tried to save the flick with the last 5 minutes of action.

Reminds me of the last 3 star wars where lucas did the same thing, I dont want to see 5 minutes of darth maul, if he had been the main character of the movie, it would have been 10x better. I would have much preferred watching another hour of them repeating what they did in china in the first 5 minutes.
