    No haram. The hadith you cited does not exclude all kinds of journey like for trade or education. It is for a religious intention to worship God that these three mosques are worthy of to set a long journey for.

      Hadith that you quoted means that if one wants to go for a religious long journey to worship God, then these three mosques are worthy for such a journey. As far as visiting temples and pyramids is concerned, it is not prohibited to visit them. The only prohibition is that of enagaging in polytheism.

      You can go as long as you stay away from Haram things like polytheism etc.
