Giza, Egypt
What bucket list wouldn’t be complete without some of the planet’s oldest structures ever built, at least ones this enormous? About three miles away from Cairo, Giza is where you will find the Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, not to mention a handful of smaller but no less impressive structures. Egyptians built the Great Pyramid in 2500 BCE, further from the year Christ walked the Earth than today. Like walking the streets of Rome, history surrounds you in Giza. You will fly into Cairo, then take a cab, bus or the Metro 2 line to Giza Station. That’s right, there’s a metro running where the ancient Egyptians used to tread. Hire a reputable tour guide to learn about this jaw-dropping UNESCO World Heritage site in your native tongue.
