Today was LONG – because the Giza pyramids were shrouded in haze we started by driving to Sakkara to visit the step pyramid of Pharoah Zoser (Zozer the Zozerian, Zozer the Destroyer, Zozer the Traveler…*snicker* Sorry I couldn’t help myself). The step pyramid is the oldest of the pyramids in Egypt and according to our egyptologist, the oldest standing building in the world. Period.

2- Ggantija oldest building in the world

The impact of the Caesars on Rome can still be seen today, and the Caesars by Twilight Tour explores the remains of the Roman Empire in the best light possible: sunset. We start at the Pantheon, the oldest building in the world still in use, while the sun is low in the sky. The tour continues on to Largo Argentina, the true site of Julius Caesar’s infamous assassination! From there, the tour continues to the Capitoline Hill, the holiest of the seven hills and home to the bronze statue of the great philosopher/emperor Marcus Aurelius. Then admire the orange and purple hues of a Roman sunset from the temples of the Roman Forum. As the sun sets, we reach our final destination: the Colosseum all light up for night. If you have not experienced this (or even if you have), it is a memory that will last forever!
4-Astra House, Germany

This one leg house is one of the oldest buildings in the world featuring rope ladders between each floor. Once being a brewery at present it is a modern residence of Astra beer with lifts instead of rope ladders.
