Spend a day to check in at the Pyramids of Giza & the Egyptian National Museum

Many people ask me if it's a waste to visit these two attractions in one day. My answer is no. For those who love ancient cultures, these two places are really worth a day's visit! Since our hotel was in New Cairo, it was more convenient to visit the museum first. Our group of four had a lot of luggage (originally, but we lost more than half of it 😩), and we even hired a Chinese-speaking guide 🥸. So, our entire trip was basically in a 12-seater Toyota Coaster 🚗. I must say the experience was really good, the last photo shows the vehicle, which was very new~ (I was scared by the damaged vehicles booked by netizens before going 🤣) What surprised me the most about Egypt 🇪🇬 was the tickets 🎫 for each attraction. They have a uniform standard but feature the most iconic photos of the attractions, which are very memorable We spent 3 hours just at the Egyptian Museum. The guide was very patient, explaining everything from the first floor to the second floor, from the history of the Egyptian dynasties to how mummies were made, and introducing various important cultural relics. If you, like me, have watched many documentaries 🎬 and are very interested in ancient Egyptian civilization, you will find this visual experience merging into reality very interesting. For lunch, the guide took us to a restaurant near the pyramids. You can see the pyramids from outside, and the taste was also okay 😌 The most most most anticipated Giza Pyramid Complex did not disappoint me. In addition to marveling at the grandeur and wonder of the pyramids, it's a reflection of how small we humans are in front of these huge bricks 🧱. We are all just one 'ling ling' in front of them. The guide protected us very well, so we didn't fall into any of the traps mentioned online 😎. I was mentally prepared before coming to Egypt, allowing myself to be tricked only once a day haha, but I wasn't tricked at all this day, so I was super happy~ The next post will be about the most surprising part, Siwa · Qesm Siwah
