 | Pyramids in Cairo, EgyptCategory: Photography | |
As you might have read earlier I have been on vacation in Egypt. We were in Sharm el sheikh – but I thought that we just had to see Cairo and the legendary Pyramids too. The pyramid treasures and design are from thousands of years ago. We took the bus there – a long ride you can say that started late or in the middle of the night – to make it to the Pyramids in the morning. While entering Cairo and looking at today’s architecture in this pulsating city… as from nowhere I saw the first glimpse of the Pyramids appear in the far distance behind some buildings. The smog was still pretty thick and you can just see the famous silhouettes. One might have thought that we would travel over sand-dunes on camel-backs. Instead we arrive in this more modern alternative – by air-conditioned bus. Amazing feeling – finally we are here – at these legendary shapes and architectural master-pieces. The weather, sand and winds have taken their toll and made imprint on the surface of the pyramids – but it still is exciting and really nice to be here! Very impressive atmosphere round the pyramids from the far distance. I was really looking forward to getting up close. Tell you more about that later.  |  | |
