Photo of the Day – Giza, Egypt
The Giza Plateau, Egypt
Egypt’s largest pyramid, the Pyramid of Khufu, is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence. An estimated 30,000 workers built the pyramids at Giza over the course of 80 years. A visit to the pyramids lives up to all the hype and definitely deserves a spot on any “Round the World” itinerary. Skip the group tours and really delve into Egyptian history by hiring your own personal Egyptologist for the day. Oh, and if you’ve ever felt the urge to ride a camel, you’re in luck - Giza is the best place in the world to do it. Sitting high atop a camel as you wander the vast desert with the pyramids in the distance will leave you feeling like the star in your own version of ”Lawrence of Arabia”.
