Pyramid, Sphinx, Giza - these are not just words, these are ideas, these are concepts that have moved travelers since millennia. As a wanderer, I have dreamt about these ever since I was a child. Finally, I managed to physically visit ‘Giza Necropolis’ (also known as the ‘Giza Pyramid Complex’) on December 16, 2025 (Tuesday) along with my partner. The feeling was that of disbelief and astonishment. May be, words are not enough to express certain emotional states and this was one of such states. We saw all of ‘Khufu’s Pyramid’ (‘Cheops Pyramid’), also known as ‘The Great Pyramid of Giza,’ ‘Khafre’s Pyramid,’ and the ‘Menkaure’s Pyramid.’ We also made it a point to see some of the smaller pyramids in and around the three main pyramids. Finally, we also saw the ‘Great Sphinx of Giza,’ believed to represent King Khafre. The experience was obviously surreal. It was late in the afternoon in the ancient city of Giza on the outskirts of Cairo. Located in the Western Desert (an area of the Sahara Desert on the West Bank of River Nile), the afternoon was chilly. However, we managed to have an unforgettable time - something that we would never probably forget!
