Journey To The Pyramids

So how did I end up on a horse in Giza? Remember me saying about crossing the streets of Egypt is like playing human Tetris?

If yes, high five yourself. If No, buckle up? Lemme walk you through it. (See what I did there?) We had a routine going on where @petersize10 and I would wake up every morning at around 4:30 AM to go exploring the streets of Egypt. As much as I love my sleep, the shutter bug never allows me to sleep. What is a vacation. Dear God, bless me with a wife who won’t want to skin me alive when I wake her up at 4 when on vacation to go on Sunrise chasing missions.

The photography life is the worst I must say. When the rest of the world is asleep or busy having a life, that’s when we come out of our cocoons. 7AM, So here we are, done shooting, next thing after shooting is go nap. Pretty straight forward right? Nothing to can ruin the sandman’s plan eeey. Waiting for the lights to turn green. Tadaa they are green. Time to cross. Guess again the streets are still busy so we have no option but to wait. Attempt two, WASTED. Attempt 3 WASTED.

“My brothers if you want to cross the streets you have to put your chest forward like a Pharaoh and cross with your eyes closed”

Who is this guy? Wait his plan actually works. So we follow right behind him. Ever had of the 3 sec street rule? Basically you have 3 seconds to win someone’s attention before they label you as a creep or win your attention. Well, this fella nailed it. Very friendly, speaks english, we became friends. “So where are you from? How long are you in Egypt? Where have you been to? DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE PYRAMIDS TODAY? *Check To-Do-List* Are we free? Hell yeah why not? “Habibi if we go Today I will give you a discount.” Did he say discount? SOLD 

Hahahahaha Omar is a tour guide. Well played champ. Well played. *Slow Claps* He knew what to say. The deal was sealed when he mentioned we can he make sure we watch the sunset.

Say no more brother. See you at 2pm.

2pm, we meet Omar. Well well well. There’s another fella going with us. He’s a teacher from the US and Omar managed to catch him in his “Tourist fishing net.” To buy time, Omar decides to take us to a papyrus shop. To avoid shedding tears lemme just skip to the part where I share my pictures. *Cries in Arabic* Mahn, lemme just tell you, these fellas can make you sell you your kidney just to have you enjoy it for dinner.

@petersize10 will be Launching his album in Dec titled, Shags modo in Egypt. Kindly support him.
