One of the first stops on my sojourn will be the Pyramids of Giza. Giza is located in Cairo, Egypt on the continent of Africa, and was built circa 2500 B.C. It’s mind blowing when you think that these pyramids are 4500 years old. My visiting the pyramids will be the closest thing to travelling through time and living ancient history. Although, in reality they’re enormous tombs because they were built as burial places for Egyptian Pharaohs these awesome structures represent something more. Someone described the pyramids as representing " immortality and eternity" and I agree completely. 
It’s said that the best time to see the pyramids is either early morning or at sunset when there is an amazing red glow off the limestone faces of these awesome structures.
and "Menkaure is Divine" (this is a detail of his statue) -- these are all the names of the pyramids -- at both times to see the beauty of them in all lights. The recommended way to see the pyramids is on camel. That alone will be an experience by itself because I've never even ridden a horse, far less a CAMEL! Let the adventure begin, I say!
I want to experience 
"Khufu's Horizon",
"Khufu's Horizon", (this is a likeness of Pharaoh Khufu),
"Khafre is Great", (this is a statue of King Khafre),
