However, it could look like large sand dunes from an aerial view also. Whether near or far, I love the softness of the texture and the crisp lines that could be changed instantly by a slight breeze. It’s a magical, playful, pink place." • Christian Wagner - "Golden death mask of Tutankhamun" • Jeremy Bishop - "When you arrive and walk up to these structures it is so surreal it takes a moment to believe it is reality. The pyramids are a work of art and sparks something so adventurous in you."
