Amazing clouds, sky, and pyramids.

Honest Review of the Egypt Pyramid Tour At first, I thought, "A pyramid? Isn't it just a pile of rocks?" But after seeing it in person, my perspective completely changed. It's not just a pile of stones; it's a miracle created by human imagination and effort. I vividly remember standing in awe, staring at the massive Great Pyramid of Khufu. 1. Even more impressive up close From afar, it looked majestic, but as I got closer, I realized how enormous each stone was. How did they stack such massive stones without machinery? While climbing the pyramid isn't allowed, its sheer size and presence were overwhelming. I also experienced the interior, which was narrow, dark, and suffocating. Yet, just being inside the ancient tomb of a Pharaoh was an emotional experience. 2. Desert heat and wind Visiting during the summer meant enduring intense sunlight. The sandstorms were strong enough to get sand in my mouth. Essentials include sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a scarf. Don't forget to bring water. The walking distance was longer than expected, so pacing yourself is crucial. 3. Camel rides & perfect photo spots You can ride a camel and take photos with the pyramids in the background—this is where you get those once-in-a-lifetime shots. Make sure to negotiate the price beforehand, as some may ask for extra fees. I was lucky to meet a kind guide who took great photos for me. 4. The Sphinx: smaller than expected but meaningful The Sphinx next to the pyramids wasn't as large as I had imagined, but thinking about its legends and symbolism made the experience special. Its sharp gaze guarding the desert left a lasting impression. Summary The pyramids are not just historical sites; they are one of humanity's greatest achievements. It's a place that left such a strong impression that I want to visit again.
