Egyptian Pyramids | At this moment, history is right before my eyes

| At this moment, history is right before my eyes. In the 9th century, when Arabs entered Egypt, they said, 'Men fear time, yet time fears the pyramids.' The Great Pyramid of Khufu was once the tallest structure in the world, standing tall over humanity for four thousand years. One should visit the Egyptian pyramids at least once in a lifetime, for they are grander and more mysterious than any textbook could convey. 📍Entrance hours: 8:00-16:30, no entry after 16:00. Starting from the East Gate, you will face the Sphinx and the pyramids right away. Ticket price: 540 EGP. Payment must be made by card, cash is not accepted! Bring your visa card! It is recommended to go as early as possible, as it is generally not too hot in the morning and you can avoid large crowds. 🔹Ignore those who greet you, offer camel rides, or to take photos for you. This can prevent any unnecessary interactions and help, as there are countless scammers in Egypt, with half of them in the pyramid area. 🔸If you want to ride a camel or a horse-drawn carriage, make sure to ask for the price clearly, confirm whether it's for a one-way or round trip, and to avoid mid-way price increases, pay at the end. For reference, the three of us paid a total of 360 Egyptian pounds for a round trip to the viewing point by horse-drawn carriage. 🔹It gets very hot starting from noon, so make sure to bring sun protection and drinking water for hydration. 🔹It is suggested to wear a post-apocalyptic style or brightly colored flowing long dress for the perfect atmosphere. 📸Photo spots: 1️⃣Front view of the Sphinx + pyramid scene, located not far from the entrance of the East Gate. 2️⃣Background of the Great Pyramid, to the right-hand side of the Sphinx, where there are some piles of stones. It's great for taking photos whether you're standing or sitting. 3️⃣Panoramic View of the Pyramids: 'Nine pyramids in a row' viewing point, which is quite a walk. You can ride a camel or a horse-drawn carriage to get there~
