| 17 | +During the winter of 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Egypt, a country rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. My journey took me through several cities, each offering its own unique charm and fascinating sites. From the awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza to the ancient temples of Luxor and the vibrant markets of Cairo, every stop was filled with unforgettable moments. I explored the serene waters of the Nile, wandered through centuries-old ruins, and immersed myself in the local culture and cuisine. Here are some of my favorite shots from this unforgettable adventure—capturing the essence of Egypt through my lens. |

| 67 | + <p>One of the most unexpected experiences I had on the Nile was encountering these floating gift shops. These small boats would pull up alongside river cruises, selling shirts, scarves, blankets, and various other items. In a remarkable display of skill, the vendors would toss their merchandise up four stories to the rooftop deck, where tourists could browse and buy. And these sales guys were committed to making a sale! |
