Exploring the Inside of the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt

Among the three great pyramids of Giza, I only entered the Great Pyramid of Khufu! 🛕

Honestly, I thought just seeing it from the outside would be enough. Plus, there were mixed reviews saying it was stuffy, hot, and smelly... But going inside was absolutely worth it!

As you crouch and climb through the narrow passageways, you suddenly arrive at an open space that takes you by surprise 😳. The adventurous feel of the interior kept me excited the entire time!

It does require some physical effort, but the authentic ancient atmosphere inside is something you can't experience just by looking at it from the outside 👑.

Even older visitors were climbing, but I’d recommend going while you still have the stamina. Also, the initial passage is quite tight, so it might be tough for those with claustrophobia.

If you go first thing in the morning, there aren’t too many people, and the heat is still bearable. That said, once you step out of the pyramid, you’ll be drenched in sweat and find the outside surprisingly cool!

This is a rare experience, so if you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it!
