Washington: Singer Katy Perry who recently celebrated her 35th birthday by flying 64 of her closest friends to Egypt.
The singer, who turned a year older on October 25, marked the occasion with a fun-filled 10-day cruise down the River Nile, riding camels through the desert and enjoying the sunset over the pyramids, all of which was captured in a slew of social media photos.
Standing in front of the Pyramid of Ghiza, Perry captioned the photos: "Ancient Egyptians believed that when you pass on your heart had to be weighed. It had to be lighter than a feather to be qualified for the trip to the afterlife."
She further added: "My mother has called me feather since I was a little girl and I hope after all is said and done my heart is as light as one. This is 35."
