I've seen it!! One of the Seven Wonders of the World..
The Great Pyramids of Giza... in Cairo
And my.. it was such a magnificient sight! To see huge slabs of stones stacked so high.. you can feel nothing but amazed at how its actually been built in those ancient times..
But first... you have to withstand the sun, heat and not to mention lots and lots of sand of the desert.
Luckily theres Max.. my trusted steed.
For I cant imagine walking on foot through that!
And see the Sphinx itself in the flesh... i mean stone.
For your info, the grand structure of the Sphinx is made from only one HUGE slab of stone, carved into a being with the face of a man, head of a woman and body of a lion to protect the pyramids itself..
As part of the tour, I got the opportunity to climb down through THAT and come face to face with a real coffin..
Of course, theres no mummy in there but what was astonishing was that while it was so hot outside, it was really very cooling inside the tomb..
After the desert tour, we visited the Egytian Papyrus museum.
Egyptian papyrus is known to be the first form of writing surface invented from way back in Ancient egypt and because of the way it is produced, it is known to last for a long long period of time... Unique isnt it?
If you are into history and artefacts, then you must visit the Cairo Museum. Inside, you can see thousands and thousands of ancient artefacts including those found in King Tut's tomb.
Unfortunately, no cameras are allowed inside so all I took back are memories and amazing sights.
My favourite has definitely got to be the mask of Tutankhamun. Ive seen it so many times on discovery channel and so, having to see it live in its grandeur was indeed a lovely opportunity..
And so is staying at the lovely Conrad with a splendid view of the River Nile just outside my balcony...
