Photography 🢒 Egypt and Sudan
The most famous tourist site in Egypt (and possibly the world) - the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) in Giza.
The "No Climbing" sign is a bit of a joke. People have been climbing this for thousands of years and show no signs of stopping now. We never did, but it was easy enough to see guides offering sunrise views from up top.
Inset: distant view of the pyramids of Khufu and Khafre. Note the smooth tops - all that remains of the covering the pyramids originally had.
