[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I didn't have a good camera with me at the time, so picture quality really poor, this is edited version.
If I am in Egypt again will try to take good camera, there's lots of picture to take there.


The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt in Africa, and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed to have been built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (hellenized as Χεωψ, Cheops) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC.[1] The tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years, it is sometimes called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu.

Hi Syed

I have been to Egypt but didn't go to Cairo. These look so impressive. It is a well composed shot and the exposure is very good
