Od dawna marzyłam o zobaczeniu piramid i w końcu się udało.
Wielkie Muzeum Egipskie było jeszcze ciekawsze, niż się spodziewałam.
Bardzo intensywny, ale absolutnie wyjątkowy dzień.
Zdecydowanie warto wybrać opcję samolotem z Sharm El Sheikh.
Wielkie Muzeum Egipskie i skarby Tutanchamona były niesamowite.
Na koniec zobaczyliśmy piramidy, czego nie zapomnimy do końca życia.
