As soon as your plane starts descending onto Egyptian soil, you can clearly get a bird’s eye view of the claustrophobic city that blends into a sandy desert with the clear cut pyramids in all their glory. One of the Wonders Of The World is situated right here – the great pyramid of Giza. Mysterious stories of pharaohs and a thriving civilization that began from the waters of the Nile and flooded Africa and Asia a long time ago and disappeared just as mysteriously.

Though the sites are populated constantly by talkative tourists and guides, you need but a moment to savor the moment gazing up at the monumental pyramids that remind us of ancient greatness that we couldn’t compete with even today.
