Adventure at the PYRAMIDS of GIZA!

With 1 full day in Cairo, of course the pyramids are my first stop. Oh & picture or it didn’t happen! The pyramids are located 15km from the city center of Cairo. If you think they look impressive in photographs, wait till you’re standing at the foot of one of the pyramids! Business Hours: 7:00 - 18:00 Arrive early to purchase your ticket (starting at $10) Be prepared to spend at least 3 hours inside. Recommended visiting time: October to March (Winter) Once inside you can see the Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Khafre, The Great Sphinx, Pyramid of Menkaure, Cemeteries, Tombs and Temples. There is A LOT to see, learn and photograph. Activities available inside are quad biking, horse riding, Camel rides, guided tours etc.. carry some $1 notes for tipping if that’s your thing. There are many souvenir stores all around the place but you will need to know how to bargain because the prices are hiked up as it is a tourist spot. Recommendation: go inside (walk) see all you need to see then save the activities for the end. Wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses for your own health and safety. Once done, we went over to a local family restaurant and tried some local cuisine namely: Koshary. It’s a must try! #egypt #Pyramids ##gizapyramid ##egyptshots #localguides #freehotelstay

8th Wonder of the World!

It is highly recommended to approach the pyramids from the private tour entrance as your “first look” will be from afar. I will never forget the first time I’ve laid eyes on the Pyramids of Giza with the dessert as our background with only us and our private tour guide! We went back the next day on our own via the main entrance and unfortunately it wasn’t as magnificent as plenty of vendors are trying to haggle you to either purchase souvenirs or a tour. It was definitely a less calmer experience but we did get to see the Sphinx up close. Overall, I’m glad that we went back the next day to fully absorb the beauty of this amazing piece of history. If you stay close to the pyramids you can also enjoy the light show after the sunset! #egypt #gizapyramid #bucketlist

Great pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid and tomb of Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khufu. Built in the 26th century BC in Giza. Even though the location is not very convenient as it is a bit far from downtown, it is still totally worthy to visit. You might need a whole morning or a whole afternoon to plan both: the transportation and sightseen time for this place. It’s a place that is worthy to see both: during day and night time as the lights makes the place look stunning. It is more comfortable to visit this place in the morning or late afternoon as the weather is quite hot. This place is open everyday from 8am to 5pm. #createwithtrip #gizapyramid #egypt

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

The pyramids are truly an amazing feat of human ingenuity. Even decades later they still stand majestic. To travel is really an eye opener, you get to see, smell and feel so many things. Above all it opens your mind as you experience other cultures. I also got to understand that learning is a life long journey, its impossible to know all there is to know in the world. To travel is to live and to live is to travel #gizapyramid #egypt #historicallandmarks #solotravel #solotrip

Visiting Cairo 🥰

Getting to ride a Camel, seeing the Giza Pyramids, visiting the Mosque and Museums was just magical.#gizapyramid #egyptiangrandmuseum #summervacation

Pyramids of Egypt

If you enjoy historical places then Egypt is the place to go. Thousand of years can be still seen in the intact architecture. The great pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders and shows the power of humans even back in the time. I recommend to enjoy the sunset there as well. #historicplaces #egypt #giza #gizapyramid
