A DREAM FULFILLED : EXPERIENCING THE WONDERS OF PYRAMIDS
#goingplaces
Visiting the Pyramids of Giza is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
These iconic structures, built over 4,500 years ago, are the last remaining wonders of the ancient world.
The site includes three main pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure.
The largest, the Great Pyramid, originally stood at 146 meters tall and is made up of over 2 million limestone blocks.
Walking around, you can't help but marvel at how the ancient Egyptians built these colossal structures with only simple tools.
Despite centuries of research, the techniques they used to move and position the massive stones with such precision remain a mystery.
Note : Pyramid tours are generally expensive and priced in USD.

Visiting the pyramids 🏛️
#closetonature
Visiting the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt was an absolute bucket-list experience! Standing in front of these ancient wonders, especially the Great Pyramid, left me in awe. The entrance fee to the Giza Plateau is about 240 EGP (around $8), and if you want to enter the Great Pyramid itself, it’s an additional 400 EGP. The sheer scale of these monuments is mind-blowing, and seeing the Sphinx up close added even more magic to the day.
The best part was exploring the desert surroundings on a camel ride, with the pyramids towering in the background—it felt like stepping back in time. Afterward, I visited the nearby Solar Boat Museum, which gave me an even deeper understanding of Egypt’s incredible history. This is one of those places you have to see to believe! 🏜️🐪🏛️

Cairo city gems !
Cairo is filled with so much in one city ! Of course you need to see the great #Pyramids of Giza ! Book a small hotel across from them for the best view. I stayed at the Egypt pyramids Inn and enjoyed my stay. Make sure you have a local guide. They can customize much more for you and give you a more authentic experience. The new museum was really cool ! Be aware that as a tourist many of locals will invite you to shop, be clear about what you interested in buying so you don’t waste time being haggled into shopping. I went to the local perfume and oil shop and it was very nice but very expensive FYI. Overall there no place like Cairo ! #pyramidsofgiza #Cairo #egypt #Kingtut #historicallandmarks #solotravel
Giza Pyramids - Ancient wonder, Egypt 🇪🇬
Visiting the Giza Pyramids in Egypt was an absolute dream come true. As I stood in awe before these ancient marvels, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder for the incredible craftsmanship and rich history they embody.
This is the last of the seven wonders of the Old world still standing today.
✨Top 5 Tips:
1️⃣ Consider visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and enjoy the pyramids in a more serene atmosphere.
2️⃣ Hire a knowledgeable local guide who can provide historical and cultural insights about the pyramids and help navigate the site.
3️⃣ Be prepared for vendors and touts who may approach you offering souvenirs or camel rides. Negotiate prices firmly and be cautious of scams.
4️⃣ Respect the rules and regulations of the site, which may include restrictions on climbing certain pyramids or entering specific areas.
5️⃣ Take your time to explore the complex and appreciate the pyramids from different angles. There are photo opportunities at various viewpoints.

TheTravelingSuitcase (@thetravelingsuitcasee) A dream come true - Pyramids and camel ride
This trip has always been on our bucket list. Have you ever seen something in so many text books and movies and then have that awkward feeling of realisation that you’re actually standing right in front of it?
We did with the Pyramids. As one of Egypt’s iconic archaeological sites, the Giza Pyramid complex (including the Sphinx) is a must for anyone in this world. What made it even more special for us, is exploring this on a camel (first time camel riding)!
Whilst in Cairo, we also visited the Egyptian museum and the Papyrus Institute. The trip also featured a trip on the Nile on a felucca (a traditional Egyptian wooden boat) and a lunch on the Nile on a floating restaurant. We traveled from Sharm El-Sheikh by bus (27 hours in total) and it was 100% worth it!

Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog) Wonderful stay at Gaia Pyramid hotel
I chose this hotel specifically for the view but got so much more value upon my stay. The staff are so helpful and friendly. They spoiled me with so many complimentary services like breakfast on arrival, early check in as my room was available, one free airport transfer, free flow on the beverages keeping me hydrated throughout my stay, a complimentary shopping tour and the view… the view from my bedroom !!! Magical. The reception staff are all so pleasant. The waiters and room service staff are all pleasant and kind. The receptionist even helped me catch a taxi off her local app because I was running into issues with mine. Acts of kindness which touched my heart and they gave us a little souvenir ♥️One of the best hotels I’ve ever been to in terms of experience and comfort. The hotel was full of South Africans so I felt at home. #Gaiapyramidhotel #historicallandmarks #pyramidsofgiza #egypt
The Great Pyramids of Giza
This is stop is a must in Egypt. If you don’t do anything else, do this. The pyramids are close enough together that you can walk to take a photo of all of them. There are options like horse, camel, or carriage rides. I personally did the carriage. It should only cost about $70USD. Anything more and they are scamming. Also, it’s just best in general to go with a guide because there are scammers trying to ask for a tip if you take photos of their animals and when you go to the tombs, they will try to ask you for money for tips. #egypt #worldwonder #pyramidsofgiza

It was a very good nice trip but if you want to go to Egypt you should have a guide to avoid the sharpers
