    Pyramids 1

    October 25, 2023 in Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Seeing the pyramids in real life was surreal. As soon as i got my first glimpses of them from the car I was blown away and that feeling didn't fade for the whole day. The way they set up the area really cool, its like a theme park, you have to pay to get in but once your in your allowed to roam around completely unrestricted, there's a few guards making sure you don't climb the big ones but other than that your free to go everywhere and do whatever you want. We spent hours roaming around all the ancient ruins, going inside old houses and checking everything for hieroglyphics. We also got to go inside the pyramids which was so cool! Once you get inside its very hot and stuffy and you have to do a crouching walk for most of it which i thought made it feel like i was proper tomb raider. The pathways took us all the way into the centre of the pyramid and we got to see the actual tomb where khufu was buried. There was a monumental aura around the whole day which meant it was very hard to leave. For the evening we went to one of the rooftop bars next the the pyramids and watched the sunset. It was spectacular, definitely felt like a "ill never forget this" type moment. When I'm old and making a list of my top sunsets I'm sure that one will be on the list :).Read more
