As a former Social Studies teacher, visiting Egypt has always been a dream of mine, especially to see the Great Pyramids. Here’s a glimpse into my unforgettable journey.

Impressions about Egypt

When I told my friends about my trip to Egypt, many expressed concerns about safety. However, my personal experience was quite the opposite. The people I encountered were kind and welcoming. I firmly believe that every place has its good and bad aspects; it’s all about how you manage and handle situations. It’s all about mindset.

One of the highlights of my tour was having breakfast with a view of the pyramids. My hostel was conveniently located near the pyramids, and while the area outside had a distinct smell due to the camels, it was all part of the authentic experience. I didn’t mind it at all; it added to the charm of my adventure.
