After going around the ground site of Giza, we finally made it to the pyramids. They were completely out of this world. Makes you really think twice about humanity and all of our achievements.

All I could remember that day, was it being really hot. Finding water was somewhat a problem because you had no choice but to buy overpriced water from the street vendors. Make sure to double check, if the bottle has been opened or not. You don’t want to be drinking water from the nile. Haha no joke, it’s an actual thing here.

There were a lot of guards in the area. My local friend and I had to pretend we didn’t know each other because of local laws. A local woman can not show male tourists around, unless she is a tour guide. Made the whole situation awkward. Still with all the guards, there were people climbing the pyramids. As seen in the picture above.

As seen in the picture above, you can easily climb the pyramids. Of course, I wouldn’t do it because I don’t want to spend a night in an Egyptian jail. Unfortunately, this historic site has become a magnet for littering. There were a lot of empty water bottles thrown on the floor.

There’s always something special about being in the place you read growing up in history books. The feeling is out of this world.

You know, I had to do the sphinx tourist shot. I don’t normally do things but hey, I’m in Giza.

Also, had to throw in a selfie too. Can’t tell you all how much I dislike selfies but, I was really riding the tourist vibe.

We walked around some more and found a little tomb with hyroglifics. Really wish we were able to read this ancient language. The stories this tomb had to tell us. We won’t be able to pass it on. It’s crazy to think that this little tomb was over 2 thousand years old.
Thank you for reading. Much love and safe travels!
Next week, I will be going inside the pyramids and share some history on the structures!

Thanks for the share. Mesmerizing indeed
I love these photos. Most photos you see of the pyramids are so edited that they don’t seem real. In your photos it feels more like I’m there looking at some ruins 🙂
I’m not fond of selfies either. When traveling, I don’t want myself even photographed in the scene, I want the site itself to show.
For some people its the exact opposite 🙂
Awesome adventure, hope to see more of your travels!!!
Thanks for sharing! I loved the pyramids too, they really are incredible!
Truly unreal, I can only imagine what it would be like to see these monuments in person. One day, I hope!
There’s something about these pyramids and others across the world that is so fascinating. Lovely pics.
Nile water!!! Whoa..
Thanks for sharing. This is very beautiful and lots of history!
I understand. People have differing opinions about inserting themselves in the scene, that’s for sure. I have a friend that inserts he and his wife in every photo he takes. Wherever they go…out to eat, seeing some exhibit or place….there are separate photos….her eating, him eating, her in front of the exhibit, him in front of the exhibit, etc…..each step of their journey. 🙂
Wow, I wish I had known about your blog when I was a Geography/World History teacher! So much my students could have learned from your photos and commentary. The ancient world is still so much with us. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I always wanted to go and see, but with recent issues in the area, I’m re-thinking it.
Great pictures. Too bad people are destroying such wonders.
Reblogged this on John Barleycorn and commented:
Loved the photographs in particular. Too bad people have so little respect for such sacred places as to litter or climb. Makes me sad.
Great post!
I believe you have remarked some very interesting details , thankyou for the post.
Egypt has always been a mysterious place for me! One day I should go check it out! Great you went!:)
A great post about Giza from the tourist angle! Packed with practical advice as well as history … I wonder how long they will survive so many tourists?
I feel like I was there looking at your photos.
Beatiful photos 👏💛
Brstiful photos 💛👏
This is so neat! I absolutely hate that people are littering tho! Come to think of it I hardly ever take selfies when I’m out somewhere I get so captivated by the place I just shoot the scenery!
Awesome
Great photos, and useful tips you won’t find “in the brochure” as they say. Like, check the seals on your water bottle.
Its such as you read my mind! You seem to know so much about
this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something.
I think that you could do with a few p.c. to pressure the message house a bit, however other than that, that is fantastic blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.
Another one on my bucket list!
I like the helpful information you supply on your articles.
I will bookmark your blog and test once more right here regularly.
I am fairly sure I’ll be told many new stuff proper right here!
Good luck for the following!
Hello, just wanted to mention, I liked this post. It was funny.
Keep on posting!
