In Cairo, I immersed myself in the vibrant energy of the bustling city, exploring lively markets, enjoying sweet mint tea, and indulging in delicious traditional Egyptian cuisine.
The Pyramids of Giza are a must-visit in Egypt. Their sheer size and grandeur are awe-inspiring, and imagining the ancient workers who built them over four millennia ago is truly remarkable.
