    The magic of the pyramids

    The Giza Pyramids were just as stunning as I imagined, if not more. I couldn’t believe I was standing where ancient kings once ruled. The Egyptian Museum added so much context to the trip, and the local bazaars were a delightful cultural dive. Such an enriching and well-planned journey! 🏺✨
