Thoughts on Sakara Pyramids



So after seeing the Giza pyramids, I didn't think it could get any better. Though smaller, and less "put together," we were able to get close enough to touch the Sakara pyramids which was incredible. Kelly and I stole some sand surrounding the pyramids even though it was "prohibited."

I was able to to go inside my first pyramid! It was perfect because May isn't the ideal tourism season since it's so hot, so we were the first people in, out, and around each pyramid. Inside is pretty awesome, although you have to deal with the feeling of suffocating for a good 10 minutes on the descent into the pyramid....but once you make it down there (I don't advise wearing sandals) and are able to look up.... it is totally worth it. The hike back up, however, is pretty horrible....and you're crouched at a 90 degree angle the whole time!

Oh, and down inside the pyramid kind of smelled like dead people....which makes sense i guess...ahh it was so FUN!
