Was shocked to see how small and unimpressive the Sphinx really is. The pyramids in general are also unimpressive and are basically a tourist trap. Couldn’t imagine wasting good coin going to a $hithole like Egypt when you could be cruising the Med instead!
Thank you for confirming what I’ve always thought of the pyramids/Egypt. Many people have them as a bucket list item and for that reason I’ve thought I might go there one day...because you’re supposed to see them.
But, in reality, I’ve always had that voice in my head asking, “why go there? It’s just a pile of rocks in a desert in a country that could be dangerous.”
I’m much more interested in seeing the artifacts in museums that they’ve pulled out of the tombs.
