Giza Pyramids

Today, we left the hotel at 7:30 am with the guide to see the great pyramids of a Giza. We saw them before, when we stopped by on the way to Ethiopia in 2011.
I remember that it was quite empty, because no one travelled to Egypt because of the revolution. Now, it was completely different - crowded, chaotic, busy. And yet, their sheer scale and mystique were still magical and awe inducing. We walked around the pyramids, didn’t go inside this time. Last time when we visited, the sphinx was under the restoration and covered in scaffolding. This time he was all glorious and handsome.
After the tour, we went to the airport and took a flight to our next stop, Aswan in the south on the Nile.Read more
