A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
The Pyramids of Giza are tombs built for three of Egypt’s pharaohs. The ancient Egyptians believed that when pharaohs died, they would move on to the afterlife as gods. These pharaohs prepared for the afterlife by ordering the building of enormous pyramid tombs for themselves, where they could store all the items they’d need in the next world.
Before visiting the Red Pyramid of Dahshur, I was unaware of its existence. Our guide, Maha, expressed that the Red Pyramid is her favorite pyramid in Egypt, so I anticipated something remarkable upon our arrival.
What kind of bucket list doesn’t include the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt? Believe it or not, the Giza pyramids are fairly easy to visit on a day trip from Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
