Pyramids of Giza
Egypt
The last surviving wonder of the ancient world — three monumental pyramids and the Great Sphinx on the Giza plateau, built over 4,500 years ago on the edge of Cairo and the Western Desert.
Luxor
Egypt
The heat lands on you before you leave the airport. By the time you reach the Karnak temple complex — columns wider than a car is long, carved with hieroglyphs that still hold paint after 3,000 years — the scale of the place becomes almost difficult to process. Luxor is an open-air museum that hasn't been cleaned up or sanitised; donkey carts share the road with tourist coaches, and the smell of the Nile drifts through everything.
