Have you ever wished your regular selfie could look like it was taken on a dream vacation? Imagine standing in front of the Pyramids of Giza, golden sunlight washing over the desert, with camels wandering in the distance. Sounds unreal, right? With today’s AI tools, it’s actually possible.
We used Gemini Nano Banana to bring this vision to life, and the results were jaw-dropping. The AI kept a 100% match with the reference face while transforming the scene into a professional travel portrait straight out of a magazine. If you’ve ever wanted your selfie to look like a world explorer’s photo, this prompt will help you do exactly that.
Before & After: The Transformation
- Before → a regular reference photo of the subject.

It feels like you’ve stepped into history without leaving your home.
