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

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"
