This by far, had to be the most controversial trip that I have taken. Before every trip I conduct my usual research, which involves a great deal of internet surfing, but this time around I also spoke with some close colleges of mine who are from Africa just to get their opinion on my trip to Egypt. The comments that I received were mostly negative but with the research that I conducted on the internet, it outweighed everything else. I am here to tell everyone that Egypt is a very beautiful and safe country, from what I experienced. During my 3 day stay I got a chance to see some of the most historical landmarks known to man. Some may think that Egypt has only one thing to offer which are the ancient pyramids of Giza, but there is so much more. I got a chance to visit Alexandria, Egypt which is about 3 hours away from Cairo and this is the home of the second to last ancient wonder of the world ( The Lighthouse). I also visited the catacombs in Alexandria which was an amazing experience as well. I hope that my testimony is all you need to visit this wonderful city, I guarantee you will not be let down.
One of the highlights of this trip, was when I got the chance to walk down into one of the chambers of the Great Pyramid. I could have never imagined this opportunity to explore such an ancient structure. This experience sent chills down my spine, just knowing the amount of history associated with this tomb. It’s obvious that visiting the pyramids should be at the top of your list during your next trip to Egypt. Also, I would highly recommend that you bring some sun tan lotion and a large hat. It can get pretty hot out there.
About 3 hours NW of Cairo, you will find the lovely town of Alexandra, Egypt. This place is home to (The Lighthouse) which used to stand over 330 ft tall and is also on the established list of Ancient Seven Wonders. You can also enjoy some of the best views of the Mediterranean Sea on a beautiful walk up the coast line. I highly recommend that you set aside a full day for this trip because the long commute can be draining.
