4The Pyramids of Giza – Cairo, Egypt
The Pyramids of Giza are one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and have been captivating travelers for centuries.
However, many visitors are surprised to find that the pyramids are located close to the edge of Cairo, with modern buildings visible in the distance. The site is often crowded, and persistent vendors selling souvenirs can detract from the sense of awe that one might expect from such an ancient wonder. The harsh desert environment can also make the experience less enjoyable than anticipated.
Why It Might Disappoint:
- The proximity to the city detracts from the remote, ancient feeling.
- Crowds and vendors can make the visit less peaceful.
