Egypt has been on our bucket list for a while now! So glad we visited over the last 2 weeks. It was everything we hoped for and more 🙌
.
We started off our trip visiting Cairo and the Great Pyramids of Giza! 🤩
.
This really set the tone for the whole trip! It is truly incredible to think about how these massive structures were built over 4500 years ago in an age with fairly limited tools. It also says a lot that these marvels have been able to withstand the tests of time to be the last remaining ancient wonder of the world still standing. 🤯

🚨Tips for your visit!
😶‍🌫️ It was surprisingly windy and foggy in the mornings in Cairo in December making the visibility of the pyramids limited. The fog cleared up by 11am though which you can see in the last picture ☝️!
⏳ You can go inside the pyramids (we entered the Great/ Khufu’s Pyramid), but go early (by 8am) to beat the crowds. There are thin tunnels you have to crawl through and limited space for 2 directions of traffic. Many people turn back when it gets too crowded because it is a very difficult climb with so many people.
👀 For a great view of all 9 pyramids and a delicious brunch/ lunch, we recommend booking a reservation in advanced at @9pyramidslounge. The Egyptian breakfast there was delicious!🤤
