We booked a Hotel just across the Pyramid complex with a magnificent roof top view of the Pyramids. The entrance fee as of Jan 2023 is 240EGP. We spent about half days exploring the Pyramid and the complex. It was a once in a lifetime of experience. #awesomepic

Honeymoon at the pyramids 🤵🏽‍♂️👰🏼‍♀️❤️

#bucketlist #Honeymoon #Pyramids Wow wow wow what an experience. The great pyramids of Giza, are in Giza on the outskirts of cairo. They are the most famous pyramids in Egypt,I couldn’t believe I was there. We had an awesome day, we walked for hours, but you can take a horse and cart or camel if you don’t want to walk. Don’t forget to take drinks with you if you go because there are no shops only people selling souvenirs

Great Pyramid of Giza

This place you should visit. It is so beautiful and fantastic. If you would like to see the big view of Pyramid, I recommend you to ride the camel outside of the pyramid because you can see the whole picture. This place suits with people who like to take picture and don’t fear with the camel😅. It is quite adventure. I recommend you to wear sun glasses because you might face with grain of sand from desert. #mytripvlog #egypt #pyramids

Egypt is six hours ahead of China. After a 12-hour flight, the plane landed at Cairo airport. Just after landing, we rushed to the highlight of our Egypt trip today - the "Khufu Pyramid", located 16 kilometers south of Cairo. It is undoubtedly the tallest and largest building in the world. The three pyramids seen on site have stood on the Giza plateau for more than 4,500 years. They were built by three generations of Pharaoh Khufu's family in the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, and are commonly known as the "Father, Son, and Grandson Pyramids". The Great Pyramid of Giza is 146 meters high and is made up of approximately 2.3 million stone blocks. The outer layer consists of around 115,000 blocks, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons, about the size of a small car. It took approximately 30 years to build the Great Pyramid of Giza. It is currently the top of the list of the Seven Wonders of the World and the only one that remains.

THE GIZA PYRAMIDS 🇪🇬😍😍😍

#giza #pyramids #hotel #cairo The complex is located on the edge of the Western Desert, about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 kilometers (8 miles) southwest of downtown Cairo. The site (along with the neighboring city of Memphis) was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are among the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they were historically popular as symbols of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination. They became famous in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was included by the Greek poet Antipater as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. They are by far the oldest and only surviving ancient wonders of the world. And the pyramids, according to one of the hypotheses, are royal tombs, each of which bears the name of the king who built it and was buried in it. Then it developed to take the form of a step pyramid by the engineer Imhotep, the minister of the pharaoh and King Djoser in the Third Dynasty. This was followed by two attempts by King Senefru, founder of the Fourth Dynasty, to build a complete hierarchical form. However, the backs of the two pyramids are not correct in shape, and they are located in Dahshur. One of them has a flattened base, and the other has a smaller shape, about half the size of the first. The engineer, Hemayuno, the architect of King Khufu, was able to achieve the ideal pyramidal shape, and he built the pyramid of Khufu in Giza on an area of ​​13 acres, and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure followed.

Egypt is a nation filled with open-air museums everywhere!

Driving 500 kilometers from Cairo, you reach Luxor, where the attractions are divided between the East and West Banks. A must-experience is the hot air balloon ride at dawn, which only cost us a little over 400 RMB for two people, making it the cheapest hot air balloon ride in the world. After landing on the West Bank, you can continue to visit the Temple of Habu and the Valley of the Kings, which are very conveniently located. The main attractions on the East Bank are the Karnak Temple and the Luxor Temple. The Karnak Temple is the prototype for temple parkour, remember to go in the morning, or else the huge columns will quickly be out of light; the Luxor Temple can be visited in the afternoon and evening, as it is lit up at night, creating a mysterious atmosphere. West Bank: Temple of Habu, Valley of the Kings East Bank: Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple Below is our entire half-month self-driving tour of Egypt. There are still many places we haven't visited, to quote an old saying: 'Those who have drunk from the Nile will return to Egypt.'

Must visit Ancient Egyptian Temple

#2023TravelWish #vianasjourney #awesomepic We visited Luxor temple as part of our Nile cruise trip. The Luxor temple is one of the main attractions of Luxor and is located in the middle of Luxor on the east bank of the Nile. The impressive statues and structures definitely makes this place worthwhile to visit. I would recommend visiting the temple during the evening, as the temperature cools down a bit. The lightened up statues during the evening paint an beautiful image. From the Luxor temple it is also possible to take a close look at the Avenue of Sphinxes that connects Luxor temple with the Karnak temple complex.

Luxor temple

Luxor temple is located at Luxor city. There are many people to visit this temple (field trip for children, tourists and local people). There are many students who study about drawing and they are painting the structure of the temple. Their drawings are so beautiful and creative. At the entrance, you can see many birds (I guess they are pigeons) over there,so you can take picture while birds are flying. #mytripvlog #egypt #luxor

Beautiful Karnak Temple in Egypt

It’s worth to book a trip to Egypt only to visit the Karnak temple. Its so awesome!!! It was great to be able to discover the history from this place. 👏🏻 Many pharaohs have been here. The entrance fee is less than 5 dollars and you have some restaurants near to it. Don’t forget to take a water bottle cause it can be very hot inside. You will forever remember the Temple of Karnak! #historicculture#summervacation

Amazing construction in 1000+ years ago without heavy machine available. This place is Karnak temple, big column is highlight for me. It’s very huge and still perfect now. There is the best place have to visit when you come here Luxor, Egypt.
