Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
Our Family Adventure at the Giza Pyramids in Cairo (Disclaimer – we had help from a robot! See below) Our family’s trip to the Giza Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt, was like stepping into a world from a storybook. It was our first time seeing the ancient wonders in real life, and I couldn’t believe how […]
Horse Riding in Cairo, Egypt
We went horse riding in Cairo with my school friend Noah. I loved it! I learnt how to move the horse left and right by pulling the rein. To make it go faster you kick it and to make it slower you pull the rein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fK0zSztwE0

Valley of the Kings, Egypt
We woke up with an early start to the day because the day before that we went to Karnak Temple and got there at midday only just realising we were not smart as it gets too hot at that time. When we arrived at the Valley of the Kings there was a sunrise in the […]
Grand Waterworld Makadi – Hurghada
All inclusive resorts are not our usual style of travel but we ended up in Hurghada, full of resort complexes, due to it being the cheapest flight out of Istanbul and took the opportunity to have a couple of days R&R before travelling to Luxor. We chose Grand Waterworld for the onsite waterpark and swimming […]
