Egypt -
Ghisa

 

     

The possibly most famous landmark of Egypt and the epitome of the symbol of ancient civilizations: the great pyramids of Ghisa. On the spot, you are surprised how many more pyramids there are, and how close the fast growing city came to these monuments.
The picture of the pyramids from the distance is especially valuable - not because it is very beautiful, but because the way to this outlook was extremely painful and dangerous - on the back of a horse. But it was worth it.
