- Dave McAugust 27, 2018The pyramids don't look that far from the road, but they're actually are really far, they're just wicked big so they look closer than they actually are. The camel tours are expensive, but worth it!Upvoted Mar 14
- Dave McAugust 27, 2018The pyramids a really, really huge. You might think about climbing one, but once you get there, you'll change your mind!Upvoted Mar 24
- Dave McAugust 27, 2018The pyramids are really a must see, bucket list item. If you have the opportunity, you definitely have to do it.
- Veysel SoyluMarch 2, 2017It's amazing to visit pyramids at the age of thousands... No words enough to describe them. Get rid of people who asking money from you all the time
- David LaderaMay 21, 2018I would recommend to avoid crowded hours even if the weather is hot to have a better experience. Camel tours are 100 EGB / 30 min / 1 person
- This place is 10 minutes on foot far from my Cairo home, so I visit it often, but these days it's really empty, very pity. Do not miss the chance to visit it on our daily tours from Sharm el Sheikh. Read more
- DimJanuary 8, 2022Amazing historical place. Disappointing how it is maintained - need to clean up, remove camel riders and various sellers who harass tourists, keep buses off the site on the parking.
- RanimAugust 24, 2017Avoid going in the summer. Exhaust the heat will kill you. It's a magical place and it's worth enjoying every moment.
- Nicole MillsApril 9A bucket list destination! Be prepared for crowds & people trying to sell you souvenirs, camel or horse cart rides. Wear good walking shoes. Watch out for pick pockets. Check seasonal opening hours.
- The most amazing place in Cairo to visit & explore. Now so many changes have been done there that the area looks completely different, but the pyramids are still the same, just no climbing any more.
- Lily Suzlini Mohd AliMarch 15, 2016Preferably to travel everywhere in Cairo with a tour guide cz so many conman especially here in The Pyramids and Sphinx. Pls bring along surgical mask.
- Bryan KellerJanuary 4, 2020You can walk to the panoramic view yourself (20 min). Ignore people blowing whistles and saying areas are closed unless they’re police (insist on seeing proof, lanyards with fake “badges” are common).
- Aidu FNovember 12, 2019Bring a hat.Make sure you have enough water.The sun is very unforgiving even in winter.Be weary of simply taking pics of camels.

- RafiFebruary 9, 2018For visitors, please treat Pyramids like you treat Eiffel Tower. Cuz if you don't, I'm afraid one day you'll missed the chance to visit it again.
- BestTravellerAugust 16, 2019Amazing !!! 160 eygpt pound for the lightshow at 19:30 pm. take a guide with you. It is not a good idea to visit alone. 10.0/10.0

- IrinaAugust 14, 2014There's always swarms of people, so make sure to allot enough time to enjoy the area at your leisure. A private guide is a bonus, if you want to soak-in the good side of the experience w/o the stress
- DoubleTree by HiltonAugust 7, 2013The "voice of the Sphinx" narrates the history of the Giza Plateau and its place in Egyptian history, as a laser display picks out the details of the Pyramids and displays historical scenes.
- Bob RutledgeAugust 13, 2015Beware! After entering the car gate, men may direct your taxi into this area to get you to take a horse carriage to the ticket office . Unnecessary, and useless! Continue on to the ticket office.

- Housam ZayyadJanuary 8, 2014Go with an Egyptian guy, or you will get annoyed by people who wants to let you use their carriage or ride their horses and camels. Don't believe those who tell you they're from ministry of tourism
- Nour MoukademJuly 14, 2023Try not to use camels for transportation since they might be beaten to function and interact. Getting sunscreen and water is a must to enjoy the beauty of this place.
- Ollie MartinMay 18, 2013The great pyramids appear in an establishing shot in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) when James Bond goes to meet Aziz Fekkesh during the spectacular son et lumière show.

- SongFebruary 19, 2018Do come with a guide to avoid the harassment from hawkers. Try the camel ride too - It should cost you about 100-200 EGP.
- Tony AlexanderNovember 22, 2019Common sense: nothing is free. Nobody has access to sectet areas. Safeguard valuables. Be polite but firm with hustlers trying to make a dollar. Most of all, enjoy the Pyramids - they are spectacular
- Sean MascarenhasNovember 28, 2016Reading books and watching TV Shows with references to these marvels are such a shame. As a historical buff, it's absolutely worth repeat visits.
- Otel.comSeptember 19, 2011The only structure of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that still stands today. Take bus routes 355 or 357 from central Cairo to get to this mysterious and breathtaking site.
- Ula BlueApril 10, 2013If You decide to go insinde You should know this: very narrow corridor that goes first down and up. Extremly low ceiling. You need to bend all the way. At the end enter bigger space. No fresh air!
- Heesun EumMarch 9, 2017Every solicitors pretend 'observer' taking ticket from foreigners. And then they beg for 10EGP with screaming "go away to your country, if you don't wanna give me money" . I never wanna go there again

- DaliaDecember 18, 2012Once ur in they'll ask for ur ticket ignore them it's their way of making money. We had a driver which helped with transport within d pyramids, go on d camel (not more than10-20 LE)& horses (5-20LE).
- Seif JalabyDecember 7, 2012the main entrance is located very close to the pyramids with booths built to sell tickets,hustlers will try to trick u on the route up so just ignore them!tickets for adults is 60 LE students 30 LE

- Didi KasaApril 5, 2015Impressive site, totally shaked my logic. Worth every penny to visit. Don't let the locals trick you into getting photos w/ a camel.
- Luca DassiJanuary 13, 2011Sami (+20122720584 or sami_elsisi@yahoo.com) is a very reliable taxi driver. Highly recommended: he made our 5-day stay a dream, bargained for us at Egyptian prices, took us anywhere at a cheap rate.
- Visit JambiSeptember 15, 2014The pyramid is cool, just not comfortable when taking a photo and should be carefully because many who offer sufenir and ask for the money
- Ms. WhiteAugust 15, 2013Don't step in the animal poop. Don't climb the pyramid if you are claustrophobic or have trouble breathing. Its not a long climb but the route is narrow and the air is stifling. It is a tomb!
