one day trip to giza

It has been since last year, we've been planning to visit one of historical place in egypt, giza..i never have thought that we're going there this eid adha...since it's eid adha it seems weird to me to go to place like that..but it's worth for all the difficulties..one of my regret is that on the first day of eid adha, i spent most of my evening in an unapprorpiate place..there is too much regret regarding this eid adha thought...i suppose Allah has spoken...all this make me realizes many things..

Back to trip to giza..it took approximately one hour journey to reach there by van...
i became overly excited by the tourists...there's black guy, blonde girl and so on...

we took some pictures there..









here is some information about giza...
Giza is the third largest city in Egypt. Being located on the west bank of the Nile river, some 20 km southwest of central Cairo. Along with Shubra El-Kheima, Cairo and Helwan, the 4 cities form the Province of Greater Cairo metropolis. The city of Giza is the capital of the Giza Governorate, and is located near the northeast border of this governorate in coordinates. It is located right on the banks of the River Nile. The city's population was 2,681,863 in the 2006 national census, while the governate had 6,272,571 at the same census. Its large population makes it the second largest suburb in the world, tied with Incheon, Korea and Quezon City, Philippines, second only to Yokohama, Japan.

Giza is most famous as the location of the Giza Plateau: the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including a complex of ancient Egyptian royal mortuary and sacred structures, including the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other large pyramids and temples. The Great Pyramid of Giza at one time was advocated (1884) as the location for the Prime Meridian, a reference point used for determining a base longitude.

We met one malaysian family whose in the holiday during our visit to the Great Pyramid of giza. Ain and i also encountered with a group of japanese tourists. To my surprise, i'm able to speak with one of member of the group. i found this so intersting and exciting. but i unable to make a long conversation due to the crowd. i couldn't even ask her name.




After the great pyramid of giza, we then went to area to ride camel and horse. i have no gut to ride the camel. but i do rode the horse. after a big battle with the guardian of the animals to lower the fee of the ride, we finally get the reasonable price.
it was a wonderful ride. i then learn how hard and extremely dangerous the ride was. how ancient people survive using horse as transport. how the muslim use horse for war with the non-muslim. i can barely breathe during the ride. but it was one of wonderful things happen to me. i'm glad i took the ride. one never knows the feeling if he don't experience it by himself.
