It was my first time riding a horse so I was quite nervous. But my guide guided and helped me a lot. It took me a while to get used to the way of holding the reins. The horse was also very gentle and experienced. It took me around to admire the famous Giza pyramids. I was introduced to ancient Egyptian culture and learned many interesting stories.
