#Overseas travel Visiting the Pyramid of Djoser at Sakkara was an incredible historical experience. This pyramid is considered to be the oldest pyramid in Egypt and the first large stone building in history. Walking around it gave me a sense of grandeur and architectural innovation that dates back thousands of years. The pyramid’s lined design stands out from the rest of the pyramids, and I learned a lot about King Djoser and the architect Imhotep who designed this great structure. The atmosphere of the place was calm and filled with the spirit of history, and I could imagine how it was the center of ancient Egyptian civilization. An experience full of wonder and audacity.

#familytrips2024 Our family expedition to Memphis, Egypt, was like stepping into the ancient heart of civilization itself. As we wandered among the ruins of this once-great city, we were transported back in time to a world of pharaohs, gods, and towering monuments. Standing before the colossal statue of Ramesses II, we felt dwarfed by its grandeur and power, marveling at the craftsmanship that has endured for millennia. Exploring the remnants of temples and palaces, we imagined the bustling streets and vibrant life that once filled these sacred spaces. The air was thick with history and mystery, igniting our imaginations and fueling our thirst for knowledge about this ancient civilization that shaped the course of human history. As for our next dream destination, we've set our sights on the breathtaking landscapes of Machu Picchu, Peru. Nestled high in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is a marvel of engineering and ingenuity, offering stunning panoramic views and a glimpse into the ancient Inca civilization. We look forward to trekking along the Inca Trail, traversing rugged terrain and lush cloud forests to reach this legendary citadel. Exploring the terraced fields, intricate stone structures, and sacred temples of Machu Picchu will be a journey of discovery and adventure, immersing our family in the rich tapestry of Andean culture and history amidst the awe-inspiring beauty of the Peruvian highlands.

The pyramids in Saqqara were believed to older than the ones in Giza.

The pyramids, no matter which ones you pick are amazing. The camel rides are fun as well. Whether you go to Giza, or any of the others in the region, I promise you that you’ll be impressed. Be prepared for the heat if you decide to go Cairo in the summer, it is slow season then. The benefit of going then is that the crowds are way smaller at just about everywhere you go. #timetotravel
