Beyond exploring




If you are thinking of exploring Africa, take a shot left to Egypt. Africa is prominently known for its beautiful landscapes and the ‘big five’.

But the Pyramids of Giza have put Africa in the history books. Built B.C. as a tomb for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, in Cairo. Apparently took 20 years to build.

Each side of the Pyramids correlates a cardinal direction. Until recent years, the Pyramids remained the world’s tallest structures for over 4 millennia.

Approximately 2.3 million blocks of stones were used to build these classic Pyramids, measured at nearly 480 feet high. Certainly a visit to Egypt would be an experience of a life time.
