An ancient marvel 🇪🇬 🐪

Giza is a must-visit destination for any traveler looking to explore the wonders of ancient Egypt. The Great Pyramids of Giza are truly awe-inspiring and a sight that will leave you speechless. The sheer size and grandeur of these structures are a testament to the incredible engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians. While Giza has a lot to offer, there are a few tourist traps that you should be aware of to make the most out of your visit. One common trap is the aggressive touts and vendors who can be quite persistent in trying to sell you souvenirs or offer camel rides. It's important to politely decline if you're not interested and be firm in your decision. Another trap to avoid is the so-called "guided tours" that promise exclusive access or inside information. It's always best to do your research and book tours with reputable companies to ensure a quality experience. Additionally, be cautious of unofficial guides who may try to offer their services at a lower price but may not have the necessary knowledge or experience. To fully enjoy your time in Giza, I recommend visiting during the early morning or late afternoon when the crowds are smaller and the lighting is perfect for capturing stunning photos. Take your time to explore the pyramids and the surrounding area, and don't forget to visit the Sphinx, another iconic symbol of ancient Egypt. Overall, Giza is a fascinating destination that offers a glimpse into the incredible history of Egypt. By being aware of the tourist traps and taking necessary precautions, you can have an enriching and memorable experience in this remarkable place.
