"You can't truly imagine it until you see it with your own eyes."

The sight I had seen countless times in textbooks unfolded before me, and all I could do was marvel.

🔺 Giza Pyramids

Located 30–40 minutes by car from downtown Cairo, the pyramids are visible even from afar. But as you approach them...

The sheer size of each stone is overwhelming.

The precision of these structures, built by humanity 4,000 years ago, is simply unbelievable.

Walking around the pyramids and taking in the views is absolutely breathtaking.

You can enter the interior, but it's narrow and hot, so a brief visit is recommended.

📸 From the front, side, or panoramic views from the hill, there are plenty of photo spots that look like works of art.

🦁 The Sphinx

Though smaller than the pyramids, its presence is anything but small.

A human face + a lion's body

It exudes an aura as if it's been guarding something for thousands of years.

Seeing it under the reddish glow of the setting sun feels like stepping into a legend.

✔️ Be sure to take a selfie with the Sphinx and the pyramids in the background!

🐪 On-Site Tips

Camel rides require negotiation! If the price is too high, it's better to skip it. Also, if they suggest going somewhere else during the ride, the price can increase significantly—refuse politely.

Bring water and sunscreen; there's almost no shade.

Visit early in the morning or at sunset (less intense sunlight and better photos).

A guide is not necessary.

Standing beneath those massive stone mountains, words became unnecessary.

It was simply a moment that made me realize how incredible humanity truly is.
