Giza Travel Blogs - Page 2

I took a trip round the world when i finished my studies. Looks like the bug that bit was there to stay.

There aren't words adequate enough to describe the Giza pyramids.  Spectacular, breath-taking, majestic, architectural feat, spiritual, powerful - all fall short.  The Giza plateau is a place that everyone should visit in their lifetime.  To stand before these massive structures, one…

For every traveller Egypt is a must. Also for me. It is an open museum for monuments an acient culture. In 2006 it was time for me to visit this ancient country. Because of violation in Sharm el Sheikh a month earlier, the country was not overcrowded with tourists during that time. So we could easi…

Hi TravBuddy's, I just came back from Egypt an had a great time there! First we traveled from Luxor to Ashwan visiting all the West bank sites (Valley of Kings/Queens, Memnons Colossus, Edfu Temple etc.). The back to Luxor for te East bank sites (Kom Ombo, Luxor Temple, karnak temple etc.). This took 7 days by boat. Next we went to cairo for 3 days visited the piramids of cheops, Egyptian Museum etc. Last we went to Hurgada to relax for 4 days. We had a great time in Egypt. Ciao, C

I always dreamt of seeing the pyramids, so one week last year I hit it off.

A greater experience than you ever expected!

This is definitely a site to see before you die. After waiting in the usual traffic jam to get there, I was tended to by this 6 foot 6 inch Bedouin who overcharged us for either a camel or horse to ride through the desert to get to the pyramids, other tombs, and the Sphinx. I took the horse since I…

Wakeup was at 7:00, breakfast was at Omer’s once again and the pickup was at 8:00 for the pyramids.  Traffic was nuts once again but we didn’t have yesterday’s tie-up. Making the same mistake I made years ago when estimating out time at the Grand Canyon, I figured time at the pyramids would…

Red sea is great! Piramids!! Everyone have to see someday!))

I am sitting by the fire in the Sahara desert. This morning we left Cairo, loaded up onto the bus and drove to Giza, which is now an outer suburb of Cairo and stops about 50m from the Sphinx. You can even see the Sphinx and the three great pyramids from the local Pizza Hut. We had a heavy …

holidays

Usually my travel blogs consist of how pissed I was every night, but this year I'm not going with my friends, but just with my parents, brother, aunt and uncle, and two of my cousins. I'm hoping to make up for the lack of my annual drunken stupor by going to the pyramids, lazing around sunbathing and shopping. Let's see if I miss my friends as much as I think I might, or whether a year off from vodka-induced blood poisoning will turn out quite nice after all.

Egypt and other places I visited on the way to and/or from Egypt.

After the diving trip, we had another day in Sharm el-Sheikh that we spend relaxing on the beach, snorkelling and shopping. After all, diving is quite exhausting. Pretty much all of the next day was spent in the bus to Cairo, that included the tunnel under the Suez Canal. In Cairo we had no problem…

We visited the pyramids along with visiting Cairo. It was hot and crowed but definatly a place to visit... atleast once.
