Have you been to Egypt yet? 🇪🇬 Ever since I was a kid I dreamt of going to this place and seeing the pyramids with my own eyes. I had always thought the Great Pyramids of Gizeh were located far away in the desert, but it tuna out they are just in the outskirts of the Egyptian capital, Cairo. A very quick 30 minutes drive from the center of town and here we were. i just couldn’t believe the size of these monuments, considering it was built 4,500 years ago, when technology of any sort did not exist. Crazy to think nowadays we can walk around these iconic structures that hold so much history in them 😲🙌🏼 Absolutely worth it, it was a trip of a lifetime 😍

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt. The pyramids of Giza were royal tombs built for three different pharaohs. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. #egypt #7wondersoftheworld #tripventure #holidayvacation#tripinspired

Egypt was by far one of my best experience. Being that much closer to the pyramids is a breathtaking moment that everybody should experience once in their life time. oh yeah, me and that horse is a love story 😂. At some point I literally didn't want to get off. I spent exactly 2 hours riding it around the pyramids. And at end the i had to pay quit a price for it 😂. it was worthy though, You Only Live Once so enjoy the moment while you can! #egypt #pyramids #gizapyramid #cairo #africa #horseriding #awesomemoment #goodmoment #ctrip #awesomepic
