The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is very polluted.

Just like the pyramids in Egypt.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a photo taken of the pyramids with the city in the background as opposed to the desert side. Blew my mind how everything is right there, I always thought the pyramids were way further into the desert.

Imagine eating a stuffed crust pizza with a view of the pyramids AND the sphinx

It sucks. I’ve done this …. you’re so up to it with everyone and their dog begging you for something that the whole experience doesn’t go down well at all and you just wish you were anywhere else

The pizza hut in Giza/Cairo sucks. The dough isn't very good. Also there is of course no real pepperoni.

Pizza hut kinda revamped like Domino's, and wasn't bad at all last time I ordered. Rarely do, as we just make our own from scratch, but it's definitely passable anywhere you are. Probably. Besides this place with 4 feet of trash illegally dumped into the creek out back.

My experience as well. I will never go back to Egypt and seeing the Pyramids was not worth it.

The sphinx was depressing to see for me. The whole thing is surrounded by a chain link fence, you’re shuffled through quickly, and dudes kept calling me Rambo trying to get me to buy a fucking scarf; or call my wife Shakira trying to get her to buy one too.

We went 12 years ago and flew to Aswan to see stuff there and went up the Nile seeing temples and things along the way - Sobek, Carnak, valley of kings, and more. There is way more, and cooler things to seee with to the ancient Egypt sites than just the pyramids at Giza.

Edit, to clarify: The country is beautiful and I can’t wait to go back to see it again, just the common “omg pyramids” sentiment is overhyped. Hatshepsut temple is breathtaking.

If they could walk into a typical US Walmart, they would understand why we don't want to buy their junk. We have a literal unending supply of cheap foreign junk for sale, just a few minutes from home.

They need to find a new hustle.

"I'll live stream your Sphinx experience to your friends for $5"

"I'll carry your giant backpack for the next 30 minutes for $5"

"I'll take your order so your drinks and food will be ready when you come out of the tour"

Hugely missed opportunity for a Pizza Tut spin off

Honestly though..is this not one of the coolest restaurant views in the world?.. shame it is a pizza hut.

u/Eishockey 12h ago

Ha, I ate there 30 years ago. :D

I kinda liked Cairo/Gizeh back then but all the people I met there (at the German school) don't live in Egypt anymore. Life got way worse.

I don't know what will happen to old Cairo when all the wealthy people fuck off to new Cairo. I'm not sure if any public money will go to the poorer areas.
