This time I'm going to introduce the Egyptian pyramids! I wanted to go there once in my life🥺
One of the three most annoying countries in the world,
The yen is getting weaker,
But is the Egyptian currency also falling⁉
︎It's one of the countries where you can travel at a good price!
Egypt's neighboring countries are always doing something,
You might think that security and demonstrations are scary,
but scary things are scary no matter when you go,
so just make a quick decision and go~🙆♀️

📝Honest review P O I N T ✔︎
- Price for the Giza Pyramids only
- The pyramids were amazing as expected
- More impressive than photos and videos * Additional 440 Egyptian pounds (1,460 yen) if you enter the Pyramid of Khufu
The Pyramids of Giza are located near Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and are one of the most famous ancient ruins in the world.
These structures, known as the Three Great Pyramids, were built for
Khufu,
Khafre, and
Menkaure.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest pyramid and is counted among the Seven Wonders of the World.
It was originally 146.6 meters tall, but is now 138.8 meters tall
The Great Pyramid of Khafre
In appearance, it is second only to the Pyramid of Khufu in size, but in reality it is a little smaller.
This pyramid is adjacent to a sphinx with the face of Khafre
Menkaure's Pyramid
- The smallest of the three pyramids, but still very magnificent
●Other attractions [Sphinx] Located near the pyramid of Khafre, it is a huge stone statue with a lion's body and a human face.
[Solar Boat Museum] Located near the pyramid of Khufu, it displays ancient Egyptian funeral boats.
●Visit information
[Opening hours] The Giza Pyramid Complex opens at 7am. In summer, it is recommended to visit early in the morning
[Admission fee] The entrance fee to the pyramid complex is 240 EGP (about 8 USD), and an additional 440 EGP (about 14 USD) is required to enter the pyramid of Khufu *As of 2023
⚠️Notes Around the pyramids, there are many souvenir sellers and solicitations for camel rides.
It is important to negotiate the price in advance! ︎
The Giza Pyramids are a precious place where you can feel the architectural technology and history of ancient Egypt. When visiting, prior research and visiting early in the morning are the keys to having a good experience.

💃Visiting the Egyptian pyramids without people🇪🇬
I'll tell you straight away! 7am!!! Enter as soon as they open!
Some people will stay near Giza and others will stay in Cairo, but both will take a taxi to the pyramids, so it's easy to go early in the morning🤗
I had a hotel in Cairo, so I took a taxi before 7am,
and it took about 30 minutes to get to the pyramids.
There were no scammers or beggars. In fact, I arrived at the pyramids without talking to anyone other than the security guards lol
I was near the exit around 8am, and from 8am, dozens of camels and horses were lined up to enter. I thought the real business started after 8am! So you don't have to ride a horse or anything! If you don't want to hear the voices of touts, go at 7 o'clock 🙆♀️However, if you are alone, there will not be anyone to take your photo, so please be careful!

Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬
If you are going to Egypt for real, the question is whether to stay in Giza or Cairo! I only stayed in Cairo, but it was pretty good! There was a subway and many restaurants, so it was fun 🙆♀️
Basically, if there are more than two people, I think it's fine to travel by taxi at any time, so even though Giza and Cairo are about 40 minutes away by car, transportation costs are cheap, so use it as much as you like 😉
Egypt is one of the three most annoying countries in the world, but I felt it was more refined than India or Morocco. Maybe it's because I wasn't approached at the pyramids... 🙃
I've known about the pyramids since I was in elementary school, but I can't believe there really is a place like this! It's so grand and beautiful! I want to give my praise to the people who built it so beautifully so long ago, and when I think about how many years it must have taken, I feel even more grateful!

⚠️Things to be aware of at the pyramids
If you look at the sixth picture, you can see that
the hat and bag are dirty!
When I put it on the ground to take a picture, it was covered in sand,
and it didn't come off even if I shook it 😭 I recommend bringing wet wipes 😭 Sad... Of course, it's better to bring water as well 🤗
