2025 Nazlet El-Semman Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

The Pyramid of Khafre is the second-largest pyramid in the Giza Plateau, located to the southwest of the older Pyramid of Khufu. It was built by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Khafre, the son of Khufu around 2570 BC. The pyramid has a base length of 215.5 m and rises up to a height of 136.4 m. It is made of limestone blocks weighing more than 2 tons each. The slope of the pyramid rises at a 53° 13’ angle, steeper than its neighbor, the pyramid of Khufu, which has an angle of 51°50’24". The pyramid is unique for retaining a section of its original white outer casing stones at the very top. The pyramid was first explored in modern times by Giovanni Belzoni on March 2, 1818, when the original entrance was found on the north side.

☀️Giza pyramid complex: A desert wonder that transcends time In the early morning mist, three towering pyramids rise from the Sahara's yellow sand, the pointed top of the Great Pyramid pierces the pale gold sky, as if competing with the sun for the crown. Wind sweeps fine sand across the weathered stone face of the Sphinx, and in the distance, camel caravans wind their way across the dunes, outlining the unchanging desert narrative. At noon, the texture of the pyramid's giant stones is as clear as a knife, but at this time, tourists flock to the site, so it is recommended to go around the west side of the Khafre pyramid, avoid the crowds, and enjoy the desolate and quiet wilderness. If you encounter a sandstorm, don't rush to put away your camera—the pyramids in the haze will transform into phantoms in ancient myths, with a sense of vicissitudes and poetry. The Great Pyramid ☀️Taboos and magic in front of the lens Locals will enthusiastically guide you to the "best shooting position," but those angles often require a fee. The real secret lies in the details: use camel caravans or desert thorns as foregrounds to make the pyramid's geometric beauty more story-like; half an hour before sunset, climb the back of the Menkaure pyramid, and shoot the silhouette against the sky. Remember that wide-angle lenses will weaken the oppressive feeling of the pyramid. Try to compress the space with a medium-focus lens to highlight the contrast between the giant stone and the tiny human. 📝Tips: Tripods are restricted in the scenic area, but you can carry a mini octopus tripod and fix it to the fence. Be aware of sand entering the equipment—wrap the gaps in the fuselage with plastic wrap, which is easier to obtain than a professional dust cover. ☀️Desert survival notes for solo travelers Sneak into the scenic area at 5:00 am, and you will meet Bedouins who are cleaning camel dung. They will tacitly agree to exchange a pack of cooling oil for "ten minutes of no one's pyramid." Go around the main road and walk east for 20 minutes. There is an abandoned quarry with unrepaired original stone steps. Sit on the ruins and feel the temperature of the craftsmen 4,500 years ago. If you want to take photos of the starry pyramid, you need to apply for a night permit in advance, but a more secretive way is to stay in a desert camping tent and use long exposure to capture the Milky Way and the pyramid. Giza pyramid complex 📝Tips: Remember to use a red light headlamp to avoid disturbing others. Finally, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is a hidden killer of camera batteries. It is more reliable to keep a spare battery close to your body than any thermal cover. 🔱Check in to beautiful destinations around the world🔱

"The world is not in the textbooks, but under your feet." Finally, I came to the pyramid in my childhood textbooks. When I really stood under this triangular pyramid and looked at the Sphinx from afar, I was deeply shocked! ! I didn't encounter any scammers, reduced communication, and went straight to the panoramic photo spot after entering the door~ I summarized a guide, I hope it will be helpful to you Tips 🎫540 Egyptian pounds (only visa can be used) to enter the interior, 900 Egyptian pounds 🕑Open at 8 o'clock (it will be more sunny in the afternoon!) ❗️There will be scammers who lie that they are staff 🌞Do a good job of sun protection. Dust is flying and there is no shelter at all. It is very sunny. ⚠️Except for the entrance, there is no supply throughout the journey. The journey is long. It is recommended to bring water! 📸Photography tips: Camera position 1️⃣ Six pyramids combined Enter through the north gate. There are fewer people and fewer scammers. Turn left when you see a group of camels Walk for about 30 minutes! It’s very shocking to walk to the highest point and take pictures down! ! (Wear comfortable shoes and drive in by yourself) Camera position 2️⃣ Front view of the Sphinx + Pyramids (You can see it as soon as you enter the South Gate) In the open space of the square with benches at the entrance of Sphinx Avenue, any camera position is very good (if it is a big view, someone can also photoshop it out) Camera position 3️⃣ Shoot from the corner of the Pyramid of Khufu and take a close-up photo as a souvenir Camera position 4️⃣ Remember to take a photo of the ticket and the pyramid together 📸Photography order: North Gate entrance/Pyramid of Khufu/Giza Pyramids/Six Towers Observation Deck/Sphinx/South Gate Exit - 🤝If you go to the pyramids and take these camera positions, don’t forget to show me your blockbuster in the comment section👏

The moment I looked up at the pyramids, I saw frozen time and civilization, felt the insignificance of being a human being, and also felt the greatness of human beings. I must see the pyramids with my own eyes once in my lifetime. ️ There is no camel or carriage ride to the pyramids. You can walk through the pyramids on foot. It takes about 3-4 hours. It is a special and precious experience to walk under the pyramids. It is recommended for friends who have physical strength and like to walk. 👍 📍Stop 1: East Gate (South Gate) of the Scenic Area It is recommended to enter from the East Gate and go straight to the Sphinx early in the morning. There are few people and it is easy to take pictures 📍Stop 2: Sphinx There is an open space in front of the Sphinx for taking pictures. From a distance, you can see that there are many people taking pictures. Then go in and take a close-up side view of the Sphinx 📍Stop 3: Khafre Pyramid The first pyramid you see when you enter is the Khafre Pyramid. The closer you get, the more you can feel what oppressive momentum is 📍Stop 4: Panoramic View of the Nine Towers A must-go location! You will pass the Menkaure Pyramid on the way. You can already see the top of the hill with dense camels from a distance. Just follow that direction. The advantage of walking is that you can stop at different locations on the hillside to take pictures at any time. If you ride a camel, it is more inconvenient (of course, the advantage is that you can take a photo of the pyramid while riding a camel) 📍Stop 5: Khufu Pyramid Finally arrived at the famous Khufu Pyramid, it felt real. . . There are so many people😂It feels like all the tourists in Egypt are gathered here at this moment. It is so crowded and noisy that I just want to leave quickly 📍Stop 6: Leave from the North Gate Walk downhill from the North Gate to the main road. I waited for a long time to get a taxi, and then went to the Grand Egyptian Museum! 🌟【Tips for visiting the pyramids】🌟: ✅ Arrive early: If you want to visit the pyramids with fewer people and in a quiet environment, you must arrive early! When we finally arrived at the Pyramid of Khufu, there were so many people, and more tour groups arrived one after another ✅Sunscreen: The ultraviolet rays are really strong, so please bring sunglasses, hats, sunscreen jackets and more‼ ️ ✅Wear a mask: There will be sandstorms along the way, so it is best to wear a mask ✅SAY NO: You will probably be asked a hundred times if you want to ride a camel or a horse carriage. If you don’t want to, just firmly refuse or ignore it #GlobalTravel #Egypt #EgyptTravel #AfricaTravel #BackpackingTravel #TravelAroundTheWorld #CoolTravelExperience #Pyramids

9 Pyramids Lounge 📍 Pin it for a restaurant with a million-dollar view in Giza of pyramids. When coming to see the beauty and history of the pharaohs and pyramids, it is one of the Dream Destinations for many people. And UNESCO has registered it as a world heritage site. And it is one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. When you have paid for the entrance fee to the Pyramid, plan with the 9 Pyramids Lounge restaurant. 9 Pyramids Lounge is located in the interior of Giza of Pyramid. The restaurant area is next to the Panoramic View point. For dining, you must book a table in advance via the website or WhatsApp (I will put the ID under the post). The price of the restaurant is not expensive at all. The food is served during the morning, lunch and afternoon. The restaurant closes at 4:00 p.m. Anyone who wants to ride a camel or a horse can do so (negotiate the price well!!!). As for me, I had a lot of time. Walked around inside and walked around until I reached the restaurant. Plus, I walked to the Panoramic View Points. Let me tell you, I was very satisfied with the view. The pyramids are very beautiful. Traveling to Egypt this time was the most worthwhile in my life. Because this place has a long history.... #9pyramid #pyramid #pyramidgame #Egypt #travelblogger #pharaoh #photo #luxor #cairo #wintertravel

You have to go to Egypt at some point! It's really great to travel to Egypt in winter~🇪🇬 Although the temperature difference is quite large, you still need to wear a thin coat in the morning and evening But it's very warm at noon! ☀️Wearing boots with bare legs is not cold at all~ The wasteland-style skirt and the pyramid go so well together, don’t they? 😉 It was really shocking when the Pyramid of Khufu appeared in front of me! There are more than 100 pyramids in Egypt, and the Pyramid of Khufu is the largest. The two slightly smaller ones next to it are the pyramids of his son and grandson respectively. Maybe because there is no space around, the wind is really strong! You can bring a scarf or something to protect yourself from the wind and sand~ Bathroom🚻15 Egyptian pounds, remember to bring cash with you💰 I've seen so many people say they were scammed in Egypt💰 But we didn't encounter any, and the overall trip was very smooth There were indeed many people in the pyramid scenic area who came up to take pictures for us Or drag us to ride camels and the like, just refuse directly It is quite necessary to find a guide who can speak Chinese in the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum After all, if you want to better understand the ancient Egyptian culture~🇪🇬 The cave church is also really photogenic⛪️ But you have to go through the garbage city, and you can smell the smell even with the windows closed in the car😂 It's better not to go in!

| I came to Aswan just for this hotel. Egypt | I came to Aswan just for this hotel. 👌 Located in Aswan, Egypt, this Old Cataract Hotel is also one of the only five Sofitel Legend Hotels in the world. 😍 It attracted me so much that I had to add it to my travel itinerary. 💕 Let's put it this way, without this hotel, I might not know about the city of Aswan. We all know the Nile River, but we don't know that this hotel is the best place to view the Nile River. 👍 I watched the movie before I came here. It is said that this hotel is one of the filming locations. The movie is very good, recommended. 🎬 The ancient and luxurious hotel is in stark contrast to the city outside the hotel, like two different worlds. For the real Aswan, please see the next article. 🥰

#roomwithaview We enjoyed our Airbnb stay with a stunning view of the Pyramids of Giza. This is the best solution if you want to visit the pyramids early in the morning right after opening, avoiding the crowds. Plus, in the evening, you can enjoy the mesmerizing light show on the pyramids from the comfort of your window! 🏺✨ And the most important thing is the opportunity to relax in a jacuzzi with that incredible view! 🛁 Name in AirBnB: Jakuzzi by the Historic Giza Pyramids Host: Xuru Stays #egypt #gizapyramid #travelegypt #travelgoals

The Giza Pyramids were more impressive than I imagined 🐪✨ It was no problem at all for two girls to enter individually without a tour reservation! In fact, we were able to go around freely taking photos without being rushed for time 📸✨ Tickets can also be purchased by credit card! The local tour people kept forcing their way through the ticket counter, so we started lining up around 9:30 and it took about 30 minutes to buy our tickets... There is also a security check for luggage at the entrance, and it can get quite crowded depending on the time of day. After entering, you can see the Sphinx on the way to the Pyramid of Khufu 🐈✨ On the way, they will persistently solicit you for camels and carriages, but you can ignore them! Even if you say "No, thank you," they will still be persistent. Egyptian children and families will also persistently ask you to take photos. Once you take a photo, you will have to take photos with many Egyptians, which will take time, so it's best to say "No, sorry 🥺!" By the time you arrive at the Pyramid of Khufu, you will be exhausted from the heat and the persistence of the Egyptians, so be sure to bring something to drink! Drinks are sold near the pyramids, but you may be ripped off, so be careful⚠️ Also, it seems that only cash is accepted on the premises. Camel riding also seems to be cash only🐪 It seems that there are times when you cannot enter the Pyramid of Khufu from 12:00. (Lunch break?) It is too hot outside during the day, so we recommend entering in the morning if possible! It is also very, very hot inside, and there are steep stairs to climb and descend, so we recommend wearing clothes that are easy to move around in and that you don't mind sweating in✨ 💰Price per person: Pyramid area 540EGP (about 1,800 yen) Inside Khufu 900EGP (about 3,000 yen) #Egypt #100's travel style

#overseastrip This time I'm going to introduce the Egyptian pyramids! I wanted to go there once in my life🥺 One of the three most annoying countries in the world, The yen is getting weaker, But is the Egyptian currency also falling⁉ ︎It's one of the countries where you can travel at a good price! Egypt's neighboring countries are always doing something, You might think that security and demonstrations are scary, but scary things are scary no matter when you go, so just make a quick decision and go~🙆♀️ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 👗Egyptian Pyramids Pyramids of Giza 🚖Location: Egypt🇪🇬Giza💰Price: 240 Egyptian pounds (800 yen) *As of 2023⏳Viewing time: 1 hour 📝Honest review P O I N T ✔︎ - Price for the Giza Pyramids only - The pyramids were amazing as expected - More impressive than photos and videos * Additional 440 Egyptian pounds (1,460 yen) if you enter the Pyramid of Khufu The Pyramids of Giza are located near Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and are one of the most famous ancient ruins in the world. These structures, known as the Three Great Pyramids, were built for Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest pyramid and is counted among the Seven Wonders of the World. It was originally 146.6 meters tall, but is now 138.8 meters tall The Great Pyramid of Khafre In appearance, it is second only to the Pyramid of Khufu in size, but in reality it is a little smaller. This pyramid is adjacent to a sphinx with the face of Khafre Menkaure's Pyramid - The smallest of the three pyramids, but still very magnificent ●Other attractions [Sphinx] Located near the pyramid of Khafre, it is a huge stone statue with a lion's body and a human face. [Solar Boat Museum] Located near the pyramid of Khufu, it displays ancient Egyptian funeral boats. ●Visit information [Opening hours] The Giza Pyramid Complex opens at 7am. In summer, it is recommended to visit early in the morning [Admission fee] The entrance fee to the pyramid complex is 240 EGP (about 8 USD), and an additional 440 EGP (about 14 USD) is required to enter the pyramid of Khufu *As of 2023 ⚠️Notes Around the pyramids, there are many souvenir sellers and solicitations for camel rides. It is important to negotiate the price in advance! ︎ The Giza Pyramids are a precious place where you can feel the architectural technology and history of ancient Egypt. When visiting, prior research and visiting early in the morning are the keys to having a good experience. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 💃Visiting the Egyptian pyramids without people🇪🇬 I'll tell you straight away! 7am!!! Enter as soon as they open! Some people will stay near Giza and others will stay in Cairo, but both will take a taxi to the pyramids, so it's easy to go early in the morning🤗 I had a hotel in Cairo, so I took a taxi before 7am, and it took about 30 minutes to get to the pyramids. There were no scammers or beggars. In fact, I arrived at the pyramids without talking to anyone other than the security guards lol I was near the exit around 8am, and from 8am, dozens of camels and horses were lined up to enter. I thought the real business started after 8am! So you don't have to ride a horse or anything! If you don't want to hear the voices of touts, go at 7 o'clock 🙆♀️However, if you are alone, there will not be anyone to take your photo, so please be careful! ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬 If you are going to Egypt for real, the question is whether to stay in Giza or Cairo! I only stayed in Cairo, but it was pretty good! There was a subway and many restaurants, so it was fun 🙆♀️ Basically, if there are more than two people, I think it's fine to travel by taxi at any time, so even though Giza and Cairo are about 40 minutes away by car, transportation costs are cheap, so use it as much as you like 😉 Egypt is one of the three most annoying countries in the world, but I felt it was more refined than India or Morocco. Maybe it's because I wasn't approached at the pyramids... 🙃 I've known about the pyramids since I was in elementary school, but I can't believe there really is a place like this! It's so grand and beautiful! I want to give my praise to the people who built it so beautifully so long ago, and when I think about how many years it must have taken, I feel even more grateful! ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ⚠️Things to be aware of at the pyramids If you look at the sixth picture, you can see that the hat and bag are dirty! When I put it on the ground to take a picture, it was covered in sand, and it didn't come off even if I shook it 😭 I recommend bringing wet wipes 😭 Sad... Of course, it's better to bring water as well 🤗 ＊＊＊＊・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・＊＊＊＊＊ I'm a freelance graphic designer and I travel around the world's art museums ♪ From niche museums to mainstream museums!

#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! 🏜️🐪🏛️ #PyramidsOfGiza #AncientEgypt #BucketListTravel #WondersOfTheWorld #TravelEgypt #HistoryComesAlive

#DesertTravel #100TravelWays 🐪 Worthy of being one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world with the Great Pyramid built before Christ (about 4,600 years ago) It's so amazing. 🍂 This pyramid is a place to keep the body of the Pharaoh waiting for his resurrection according to the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. There are 3 pyramids: The Pyramid of Giza (the largest) is about as high as a 40-story building. 🐪 The thing that is next to the largest pyramid is the Sphinx. "The Great Sphinx of Giza" The Sphinx has the body of a lion but the head of a human. It is responsible for protecting the soul. But this tomb was built to guard the treasures and manage other souls so that they do not disturb the body of the Pharaoh.

I can’t get enough of Egypt. As a solo traveller, my main obstacle is language barriers. However, this does not stopping me to explore one of the magical ( human made) structure which is Pyramid of Giza. During my visit, it was not too crowded at the ticket counter and within 10 mins, I’m already enter the site. Please be extra careful with the scammer when they told you they’re authorized agent for pyramid tour, they always show you their name tag/ lanyard. The best thing is to ignore them. Take your time while you on site, since there is no time limit for visitor. And please bring enough water since the pyramid area is so huge! ##100waysoftravel

Visiting the Giza Necropolis in Egypt was an amazing historical experience. I enjoyed standing in front of the three famous pyramids and the magnificent Sphinx 🏜️, marveling at the grandeur of the ancient structures. The archaeological site reflects the ingenuity of ancient Egyptian civilization and offers an opportunity to appreciate its rich and complex history 🌟. The atmosphere around the pyramids was grand and filled with historical spirit, making the visit a special moment of learning and wonder 📸. The experience provided a unique opportunity to uncover the mystery of one of the ancient wonders of the world.

#100waysoftravel Egypt, a land full of mystery and wonders, attracts countless explorers and tourists with its ancient history and unique geography. The Sphinx and the pyramids in Giza are the greatest symbols of Egyptian civilization. The majestic and enigmatic Sphinx guards the pharaohs' tombs, gazing over this ancient land for millennia. The pyramids, as one of the wonders of the ancient world, showcase the wisdom and engineering prowess of the ancient Egyptians, still leaving people in awe today. Beyond these awe-inspiring historical monuments, Egypt's geographical landscape is equally captivating. The coastlines of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea not only offer beautiful beaches and abundant marine resources but also serve as crucial shipping routes. The diverse marine life here makes Egypt a paradise for diving enthusiasts. Additionally, Egypt's temples, such as the Luxor and Karnak temples, beautifully blend ancient religion with architectural artistry, showcasing the ancient Egyptians' reverence and worship of their gods. Walking among these ancient ruins feels like a journey through time, experiencing the glory and mystery of thousands of years ago. Egypt, a land intertwined with historical and geographical marvels, captivates every explorer with its magnificent monuments and enchanting natural beauty.

The Old Kingdom was the heyday of Egyptian pyramid construction. Cairo can be divided into three pyramid areas from south to north, namely the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid in Dahsur, the Step Pyramid in Saqqara, and the most well-known Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure in Giza. You can visit the interior of the pyramid. You need to squat to enter. There is a long way to go and you can't stand up and walk straight. You need to have a certain amount of physical strength. There is no special decoration inside. Some of them have a strong smell of ammonia. It is recommended to pick one to go in and experience it~ In addition to the pyramids, there are also some temple ruins next to the pyramid area that you can visit. You can experience riding a camel and taking photos around the scenic area. After negotiating the price, try to record the video to avoid being defrauded. #Cairo #100 Ways to Travel #Giza #Pyramids #Ruins

#overseas travel Visiting Egypt was a magical and amazing experience 🌟.

‼️Read this and make your trip to the Giza Pyramids more comfortable Of course, this is Egypt's main attraction, and it will always be crowded. The best way to explore the pyramids is to stay overnight in Giza and arrive early in the morning (it opens at 7:00). As a bonus, you might be able to see the light show from your window. Thin are toentrat one is eithe the site, tae, facing the Pyramid of Khufu. Choose which one you're most interested in and head to that entrance. Crowds gather quickly, especially after tour buses arrive around 9:00. ❌Also, it's better not to plan your visit on Friday or Saturday, as these days often see Egyptian school trips. 🎫 Entrance ticket: 300 EGP (~$10) 🎫 Inside the Pyramid of Khufu: 600 EGP (~$20) All tickets can be bought only at the entrance counters and only with a card, cash is not accepted. If you buy only entrance tickets and later decide to go inside the pyramid, it won't work. Buy the necessary tickets at the entrance!

You can see the pyramids from your room, and the entrance to the pyramids (Sphinx side) is within a 5-minute walk. The best thing about this hotel is the pyramid view! If you get a room with a view of the pyramids, you can see the pyramids 24 hours a day from your balcony, and you can also see the night show from your room! There is also a restaurant on the rooftop, where you can get a good view of the pyramids. It was a nice atmosphere to go there just to take photos. There is so much breakfast that you can't eat it all. The lemon mint smoothie was delicious. The room is very small. The hotel itself is old and the facilities are not the cleanest, but it was kept clean. The elevator was interesting because it was something I had never seen before. The toilet in the room I stayed in never flushed, so I had to call a staff member every time. There was also a power outage while I was taking a shower, so I went to bed with wet hair. Although there were some disappointing points, it was very nice that the pyramids looked very beautiful and we were able to leave our luggage there to visit the pyramids (maybe because we didn't have high expectations for the hotel in the first place). All the hotel staff were friendly. When you check in, they will try to solicit you for a tour, but you can refuse them at all. If you refuse, they will show you around the hotel for free, but the shops were not very good and there was a lot of horse dung on the road, so I don't recommend it. It was a town where you could enjoy yourself just by visiting the pyramids. There are many similar hotels, so please take a look. #Travelingwithme #Panoramaviewpyramids #Egypttrip

You often see the pyramids on TV, but when you see them in person, you'll be overwhelmed by their size. They're easily accessible, about 30 minutes by taxi from the city. When you think of the pyramids, you think of them as being far away! But once you get your plane ticket and are on the plane, it's over in no time! If you have the chance, please visit them! ! [Tourist Tips] ○ If you're traveling alone, ask for a tour → The viewpoints are surprisingly far away, so we recommend a tour such as a taxi charter. Also, if you have a guide who can teach you about various things, the excitement will increase dramatically. There were many tours such as [half-day taxi charter + guide]. \\Online booking or local tour// We wanted to stop by all the pyramids in the area, so we booked the [8-hour charter + guide] tour in advance. We thought it would be cheaper to book locally, so we went around to several tour companies after arriving, but the price was almost the same as the one we booked online, and the content was almost the same, so we went with the tour we had booked. [Caution] ------------------------ ○ Bring plenty of cash →It was written in many places that [Cash only at the ticket office], but credit cards were accepted. However, at the ticket office of another pyramid, the credit card reader broke due to the heat, and they temporarily only accepted cash, so it's safer to have plenty of cash. ○ Take precautions against the heat! →I went in August, and it felt cooler because there wasn't the humidity like in Japan. However, the sun was strong. Hats, parasols, and sunglasses are a must. Also, I recommend something that will lower your body temperature rather than something that blows air like a folding fan or handheld fan. \\Recommended ways to beat the heat// ・Water bottle with cooling system ・Pocari powder ・Disposable cooling sheets ・Handy fan with cooling plate etc... ○The inside of Khufu Pyramid is tougher than expected →In addition to the heat, the oxygen is thin because of the large number of people in the narrow and steep passage, and some people may hyperventilate...If you are claustrophobic or worried about your physical strength, we recommend that you do not push yourself. And when you arrive, there is nothing in particular. It may be a good souvenir, but the entrance fee is high and it is tough. The inside of the other pyramids has hieroglyphics and other things, so it was more fun! The Three Great Pyramids of Giza ▶︎Al Haram, Giza Governorate 3512201 Egypt #Pyramids#The Three Great Pyramids of Giza #Egypt

🇪🇬Everyone has a dream country in their heart. Mine is Egypt. I have been thinking since I was a child that one day I must go there and see the mysterious pyramids and temples of all sizes at once. The Giza Pyramids are located in the suburbs of Cairo. The first stop when you arrive in Egypt will completely shock your eyes. As I climbed each stone step and approached the Sphinx, I was amazed and felt its ancient atmosphere. I could only experience it with my eyes. Egypt, mysterious and unique❤️

An 8-day itinerary and still not enough, friends who want to go to Egypt can take this as a reference~ Let me briefly introduce our itinerary, if you are interested I can post more details later~🤓 D1✈️Arrive in Cairo D2 Cairo🚗Siwa D3 Siwa🚗Cairo✈️Hurghada D4 Red Sea outing D5 Hurghada🚗Luxor D6 Hot air balloon➕East and West Bank attractions D7 Luxor🚗Aswan D8 Aswan✈️Cairo✈️Return home On our first day in Cairo, we visited the Giza Pyramid Complex and the Egyptian Museum. Due to Ramadan, the traffic was super congested in the afternoon, so we didn't go to the Khalili market, and directly hired a car to Siwa·Qesm Siwah The second day we went to the Siwa Salt Lake🌊, it was so beautiful, and there were hot springs♨️ and the fortress from Assassin's Creed🏰. If you want to go to the desert, you can reserve an extra day, or you can first go to Alexandria City - Matrouh then to Siwa, playing all the way down, which is also a good choice😌 After the car ride back to Cairo from Siwa, we went straight to the airport to fly to Hurghada·Red Sea Governorate. We joined a day tour to El Gouna and a boat trip to Orange Bay🚢, and you can also enjoy sand surfing🏜️. We were in a hurry to get to Luxor so we didn't play~ Hurghada car ride to Luxor·Luxor Governorate takes 3 hours, we went for Chinese food, the next day we enjoyed the hot air balloon➕attractions on the West Bank of Luxor, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Habu City. Surprisingly, we almost finished in half a day, and in the afternoon we went to Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple by ourselves. Luxor is also a 3-hour car ride to Aswan·Aswan Governorate, immediately went to Aswan Dam and Philae Temple, then checked into the hotel and immediately took a taxi to ride a felucca⛵️ to see the sparkling sunset over the Nile🌄 Finally, we flew directly back to Cairo from Aswan, the biggest regret is that we didn't have time to see the Temple of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel😭 So, till next time!👋
