Touching the pyramids from the textbooks in Egypt

Am I dreaming?!! The moment the hot wind mixed with sand grains brushed my cheek, I really felt like I traveled back three thousand years 👑 🕌 The Giza Pyramid Complex More! Stunning! Than I imagined! Riding a camel close by, I almost held my breath 🐫 The giant stones of the pyramids are honey-colored under the sunset I stared at the Great Sphinx guarding the Pyramid of Khufu for a long time (It’s still a mystery why its nose is missing!) 🌅 The Nile River cruise is so worth it! Watching the desert and oasis alternate on both banks from the deck Feels like watching a moving historical scroll There’s belly dance performances at night 💃 The crew secretly taught me to say “I love you” in Arabic haha 🛕 Temple marathon for three days: • The giant pillar forest of Luxor Temple (every snap is a masterpiece) • Abu Simbel Temples (proof of Ramses II’s love obsession!) • Karnak Temple (the ceiling is a light and shadow show 📸) • Valley of the Kings (the murals’ colors are unbelievably well preserved) ⚠️ Real experience tips: • Headscarf, sunglasses, sunscreen! Desert sun is super harsh ☀️ • Keep a polite smile when hearing “one dollar” sales calls • Local food loves flatbread + hummus 🫓 • Must take the hot air balloon at 4 a.m. to watch the sunrise!! 🍯 Unexpected delicacies: Sugarcane juice sweeter than first love!! Rice pudding sold by an old lady on the corner Nile grilled fish with lemon is amazing 🐟 (But remember to bring stomach medicine…) 💰 Bargaining tips: Haggling to half the price is standard! Street jewelry is super easy to buy (bracelets for 30 yuan!) Agree on the camel ride price + tip in advance Now me: Skin is two shades darker 🌚 Phone has over 1000 photos saved My mind is full of pharaoh stories The aftereffect is stronger than the Sahara wind!!
