Imagine standing at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza, feeling the weight of thousands of years of history pressing down, and marveling at the sheer scale of this ancient wonder. Picture yourself soaring above the Valley of the Kings at dawn, witnessing the first light of day touch the sacred tombs where Pharaohs once rested. This is the journey I am eager to embark on, and I need your support to make it a reality.
