We were picked up at 3 a.m. from Sharm el Sheikh. The minivan is just right for our family of four, you can comfortably lie down on four rows of seats.
We expected the guide to come with us and a policeman, but there was no policeman, the guide who met us in Cairo suggested that the police were escorting a group of at least 6 people.
We talked with the driver of the minivan "on our fingers" until the translator loaded up, because he does not know English and Russian either. Heating is not provided in the minivan, it was cold to drive at night. We were driving along a toll road, the journey time was 6 hours. It would be fashionable to get enough sleep, but 5 or 6 posts interrupted sleep, although they only got out of the car 2 times. Cairo - it is interesting to see the old city, but for a complete impression it was not enough to visit the new part of the city, built up with skyscrapers. I liked the museum, fortunately we arrived for the opening, there are sooooo many people. Pyramids are a must-visit, camel riding is for an amateur, good photos are obtained taking into account their own imagination.

The Pyramid of Khafren, located on the Giza plateau in Egypt, is one of the most impressive architectural landmarks in the world. It is the second largest ancient Egyptian pyramid after the Pyramid of Cheops, and it impresses with its majesty and craftsmanship.The pyramid of Khafren was built around the middle of the XXVI century BC and named Urt Khafra, which means “Khafra is great“ or "Revered Khafra.” It has a height of 143.9 meters and a base measuring 215.3 meters. The pyramid has a steep slope of 53°10’, which makes it taller than the pyramid of Cheops, despite the fact that it is smaller in size.Inside the pyramid there are two chambers and two intersecting passages leading to a horizontal corridor. The burial chamber is located under the pyramid and is lined with granite, which provides it with additional strength. The rectangular sarcophagus of Khafra made of beautifully polished granite is placed in the lining of the burial chamber.The Pyramid of Khafren and the Great Sphinx on the Giza plateau are part of a large funeral complex, which also includes a small satellite pyramid, probably built for Khafra's wife, a fence wall, a funeral temple, a road, a temple in the valley and a port.The current state of the pyramid allows us to evaluate the skill of ancient builders and their ability to create such monumental structures. Despite the fact that the pyramid was opened and looted during the first transition period, and then partially dismantled for the use of materials in other buildings, it continues to impress with its grandeur and beauty.A visit to the pyramid of Khafren leaves an unforgettable impression. This is an opportunity to touch ancient history, feel the greatness of ancient civilizations and think about how much we still don't know about the world. I recommend visiting the pyramid of Khafren to anyone interested in the history, archaeology and culture of Ancient Egypt.

There are still many unanswered questions surrounding this wonder of the world. And indeed, you get closer and you don't understand how this is possible. Even so many years ago. Even with the help of modern technology, it would be very difficult to create this. And then people created it with their hands. With my hands. Just think about it !,
A day on the road from Hurghada is definitely worth seeing this miracle. Stunningly
