It must be in everyone’s bucket list to visit those pyramids and the sphinx as the very mention of those gives vibes of ancient history/technology/civilization/pharos and a whole lot of mysteries surrounding that Giza Necropolis. Once thee the site doesn’t disappoint anyone as there is something for each one there. There are carious options for the visit depending upon your budget and schedule.

A must-visit place in this lifetime. Compared to other places, there are far fewer scammers. Many ancient artifacts, including mummies, are on display. Tutankhamun's mask is inside the museum, but photography is not allowed. The enormous statues are truly awe-inspiring.

Our tour guide, Leng Feng, was incredibly knowledgeable, and his insightful understanding gave me a systematic grasp of Egyptian civilization! He was also very considerate and attentive to our needs throughout the trip. Five stars! 👍

The remains of a historic building from the Hellenistic period in Egypt. The only thing left here is a small sphinx. The large platform of the foundation is still preserved, which makes the pillar look even more lonely. This is the remains of a landmark in Alexandria.

哈利利市场是开罗最具传奇色彩的阿拉伯传统集市，14世纪起便是丝绸之路的重要贸易中心。迷宫般的狭窄巷道两侧密布金银器店、香料摊、手工艺品作坊，铜灯、纸莎草画等特色商品琳琅满目。核心区的费沙维咖啡馆（成立于1773年）仍保留着阿拉伯文学家的聚会传统，而市场穹顶下闪烁的彩色玻璃与清真寺尖塔构成独特的伊斯兰风情画卷。尽管商业化明显且需警惕高价陷阱，但喧闹的讨价还价声、空气中弥漫的薄荷茶与香料气息，仍使之成为体验埃及市井文化的必访之地

Одно из чудес света, что тут ещё можно добавить? Я не знаю какого человека это место может оставить равнодушным. Советую бронировать гостиницу недалеко от пирамид и приезжать самостоятельно к открытию и пройти пешком по всей территории, это незабываемые впечатления и эмоции, а главное вас не будут торопить различные гиды и вы не будете постоянно ждать отстающих из вашей группы, будете только вы, пустыня и великолепные пирамиды!

At that time, on the way from Luxor to Hurghada, I began to miss the Nile River infinitely. Every time I saw the river, I couldn't help but marvel in my heart. It was just a natural scenery, but it had an unreal beauty, flat and vast. I always lived in southern China and always thought that rivers came from valleys, magnificent or winding, with mountains on both sides, but the Nile River was still flat on both sides. I think there would be no Egypt without the Nile River. In such a hot and dry place that is not suitable for living, it should be this river that can pass through thousands of years without changing and keep people. Now, I have been away from Egypt for more than ten days. The most frequent flash in my memory is still the Nile River. Its beauty seems to allow anything to happen. I suddenly understand Agatha very much. If you face such a miracle every day, it is not surprising that you can write any story. Finally, I actually want to say that the Old Falls Hotel is worth staying (if the budget allows, but the afternoon tea is very bad, so be careful.
