nubian pyramids: worth the trip or just hype?
Last weekend, we finally made it out to see the Nubian pyramids in Sudan. I’ve always been fascinated by ancient history, so I was pretty excited. The drive was long—honestly, it felt like we were in the car forever, and the roads weren’t exactly smooth. When we finally arrived, the sun was blazing, and there were hardly any tourists around, which was kind of nice but also made the place feel a bit lonely.
The pyramids themselves were smaller than I expected, especially compared to the ones in Egypt. Some of them looked like they were falling apart, and I couldn’t help but wonder if they’re being taken care of properly. Still, there was something special about standing there, imagining what life was like thousands of years ago. But I have to admit, after all that effort, I’m not sure if it lived up to the hype. Maybe I’ve just seen too many documentaries that made it look more impressive than it is in person.
Has anyone else made the trek out to see these pyramids? Did you feel like it was worth it, or did you leave a little underwhelmed like I did? I’d love to hear if anyone found a hidden gem nearby or had a different experience.
