Mumbai: While visiting beautiful places abroad with your hard-earned money is fun, getting the opportunity to experience overseas locations as part of a work assignment is all the more enjoyable.

Parineeti Chopra, who took off to Egypt on February 21 for a magazine shoot, has been taking in the sights as her work trip has doubled up as a break too. A source close to the actress says, "Parineeti returns to Mumbai on Saturday from Luxor, Aswan and Cairo where she has been shooting in the freezing cold. She stayed on a cruise ship for the first two days. On Wednesday, along with her entourage, she attended the Sun festival in Abu Simbel."

The Sun festival is a biannual event in Egypt, held at the temple of Ramesses II which dates back to the 13th century BC. Every year on February 22 and October 22, the first rays of the sun sweep the corridor of the temple, striking a statue of the ruler. It attracts millions of tourists from across the world.

Parineeti has been posting pictures from her trip and she even recently shared a video where she is excitedly dancing in front of the famous Pyramids of Egypt.

Once back in the Bay, the 28-year-old actress will begin prep for the fourth installment of Rohit Shetty's comedy franchise, 'Golmaal Again', which also features Ajay Devgn and kicks off on March 9. The film will be shot at Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City, Ooty, Goa and in Mumbai’s Film City.
