Sonakshi Sinha's exotic travel escapades are worth the hype. The latest destination that has lured her is the Land of Pharaohs, Egypt. She has dropped glimpses from the sandy region, nudging us to pack our bags soon. In the first set of photos, the actress paid a visit to the famous Sphinx structure. Sonakshi gave the limestone statue “a kiss” before she “went on to take some more corny photos” with the half-human, half-animal statue. Why? Because according to the diva, the Sphinx simply looked “like a wow”. Channelling her fun energy, the actress featured in an illusionary pic where she made the Sphnix look like it was wearing sunglasses. The dusty and rustic terrains of the cityscape, shining under the soft winter sun added to the vintage charm.
