Kevin Droniak, 27, flew 5,733 miles from New York to Cairo for just 24 hours on April 4, 2025, to experience Egypt's history and cuisine.
After landing early the next morning, he explored the pyramids, visited the first pyramid ever built in Saqqara, tried local dishes like hawashi and baba ganoush, and strolled along the River Nile.
Kevin spent $1,198 on the quick trip, which included flights, a tour guide, food, and hotel.
He hopes to return for a longer visit, having loved the experience, especially seeing the pyramids.
Kevin previously did a 24-hour trip to London in May 2024.

00:00I don't think anyone's ever done this before, but I'm going to Egypt for a day.
00:03So my flight lands in Cairo at 5 a.m., and my flight back to New York is at 5 a.m. the next day.
00:07This makes sense to me because the flight's only 10 hours, and why not wake up at the pyramids?
00:11Good night.
00:12And good morning from the Great Pyramids of Giza.
00:18You know, just casually in Egypt for the day.
00:22Just live and live.
00:24And I'm also visiting the Steppe Pyramid in Saqqara, which is the first ever stone structure
00:29built in the entire world.
00:30The same civilization that built the first pyramid also built the largest one, which is insane to me.
00:34And now I'm in a tunnel to go see the oldest known religious text ever discovered, and
00:40you just can't get this at the match.
00:41No one talks about how the pyramids make you peckish, so I'm going to find some food.
00:44Found some.
00:45I am not over this view.
00:46Are you kidding?
00:47My first and last Egyptian sunset.
00:49You know, I don't usually do this on my day trips, but I just got a hotel room because I need a place
00:52to freshen up since I feel so bedraggled.
00:54I feel so much better.
00:55Denial is a river in Egypt, and my hotel is on it.
00:59And now I'm doing some light shopping so I can stay a week before the flight.
01:03There are no crosswalks here, so this is how you cross the street in Cairo.
01:07I am loving the chaos.
01:08Dinner is served with gloves.
01:11And 24 hours later, I'm back at the airport with a new shirt, and I'm ready to go home.
01:16Let me know if you would do this or if you're mentally stable.
01:18I just got home, and yes, I am tired.
