The Great Pyramid of Giza

I had a chance to visit the Great Pyramid of Giza early of the month. It was winter in Egypt and the weather is pleasant with sunshine. Lite jacket will do. We booked a Hotel just across the Pyramid complex with a magnificent roof top view of the Pyramids. The entrance fee as of Jan 2023 is 240EGP. We spent about half days exploring the Pyramid and the complex. It was a once in a lifetime of experience. #awesomepic

Honeymoon at the pyramids 🤵🏽‍♂️👰🏼‍♀️❤️

#bucketlist #Honeymoon #Pyramids Wow wow wow what an experience. The great pyramids of Giza, are in Giza on the outskirts of cairo. They are the most famous pyramids in Egypt,I couldn’t believe I was there. We had an awesome day, we walked for hours, but you can take a horse and cart or camel if you don’t want to walk. Don’t forget to take drinks with you if you go because there are no shops only people selling souvenirs

Great Pyramid of Giza

This place you should visit. It is so beautiful and fantastic. If you would like to see the big view of Pyramid, I recommend you to ride the camel outside of the pyramid because you can see the whole picture. This place suits with people who like to take picture and don’t fear with the camel😅. It is quite adventure. I recommend you to wear sun glasses because you might face with grain of sand from desert. #mytripvlog #egypt #pyramids

Best River Nile Trip

#thanksgiving For many travellers, the only way to travel on the Nile is slowly, on board a traditional felucca (Egyptian sailing boat). Except for swimming, this is as close as you can get to the river. A Nile river cruise has to be neither touristy or expensive. Even for budget travelers who prefer a DIY trip, a Nile River cruise is almost always going to be the best option when you consider all of the costs that are incorporated in your trip to Egypt. #mapletrees #luxuryhotel

A great way to warm up before a Nile boat ride: hummus! In the Middle East the word hummus is used to refer to chick peas in any form, not just ground up. Here they are served in a lemony soup with chilli powder. If you’re still not warm enough, grab some shai (tea) at a local Ahwa later (coffee shop). #foodieguide #happynewyear #happynewyear

Here is the widest part of the Nile Delta in the city. The glassy orange waters stretch out reflecting the whole sky above, sail boats called felooka cut through the surface. In all my time exploring Cairo, this boat ride has been the most stunning view of the city yet. #happynewyear

There’s not many high up views in Cairo, But there’s all the apartment villa in the downtown island in the Nile called Zamalek is as good as any. The heart and soul of the city can be felt drinking tea on a balcony garden and looking at the waters below. #happynewyear

🇪🇬Best Bazaar in Egypt: Khan El Khalili🛍️

Attraction: Khan El Khalili Bazaar Address: El-Gamaleya, Cairo, Egypt Direction: Take taxi/Uber Opening Hours: 9:30am till midnight Khan el Khalili is a must visit if you are in Cairo. One of the biggest and Oldest bazaar in Egypt. It was first founded in 1382 and then further expanded in 1511. Here you can find anything from souvenirs to food, perfume to clothes. Everything is good price, you can even try to negotiate and ask for a better price! If you want to enjoy local bazaar and get some cheap souvenirs, this is the must visit place for you! #timetotravel #Egypt #cairo #bazaar #shopping

Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬

Why Khan el-Khalili Bazaar in Cairo is a must visit? It is one of the oldest and largest bazaars in Egypt, dating back to the 14th century. It is known for its vibrant atmosphere, traditional crafts, and intricate architecture, attracting both locals and tourists. The current shopping facility exceeds an area of 5,000 square metres! . . . #bazaar #souk #khanelkhalili #cairo #egypt #travelegypt #travel

The Famous Khan El Khalili Market

Khan El Khalili You will get the raw, unfiltered version of the locals in the most realistic way in the moment you step in Cairo. Shopping and checking the amazing glassware, old antiques, handcrafts and special souvenirs would take you about 2 hours. This is sort of an adventurous experience because of the chaos, haggling and noise but it does not hurt to experience a bit the local market authentic vibes. The place could get extremely crowded so it is always better to be cautious with your belongings. Products might not have a price tag so you must ask for and negotiate selling prices. It’s always a good idea to shop around with a local you can trust. #createwithtrip #market #egypt #cairo

Khan El-Khalili market is Cairo’s famous bazaar and a worthwhile visit if only to take in the atmosphere as you window shop lamps, drums, and shisha pipes. Bartering can be entertaining and fun but expect that you’ll be doing a lot of it! Try to strike a deal you’re both happy with 😉 #happynewyear
