Nile

Back in Aswan… as the sun sets, it’s easy to see the name ‘Land of Gold’ as the sky, Nile, sand and earth glows right before the dark. Survived the most horrendous car ride while being sick. Evening of rest with good sleep, and the following day is luckily sailing day along the Nile river, heading towards the Luxor

Struggle

Beneath the forced smile is a humble man suffering big time from sudden travel bug and illness hahah! 4hr drive one way to Abu Simbel to witness twin temples saved from submerging into Lake Nasser - with impressive huge external rock relief figures of Ramesses II. Iconic, impressive, majestic even when wanting to just cry from pain lol!

Inside the Khufu’s Great Pyramid, climbing series of steep passageways, corridors and shafts into the burial chamber… sweaty trip, but experiencing the architecture of the Great one from inside was mind boggling yet humbling experience!

Giants

And the Egypt adventure begins from Cairo, and no other than pyramids of Giza. No previous knowledge prepared me for feels I got first time seeing these magnificent builds in real life, up close and personal… from the start I kept on reminding myself ‘This is history… not myths, fairytales or legends…’
