Negotiate the horse carriage prices to lesser than half before getting on the horse. And all the pyramids in the area are walkable. As the 'guides'to cut the bullshit when they say u can't walk.

Just say "no thank you no". To all the camel and horse scammers. They may take pictures and say is free or also free ride saying "pay what makes you happy" be careful. But nothing to worry about.

No, Napoleon Bonaparte didn't shoot off his nose, but yes the head looks smaller than the body so maybe there was originally a larger head that was re-carved into what we see today?

It is really amazing to see. My advice to you is to go there at winter not summer due to the scorching sun and sunburns many will try to sell you stuff and make you ride for money.Enjoy.

The side and front angle looks amazing. Great place for photography but be aware of pick pockets and gift sellers who continues to pester you non stop

A must see in Cairo! Be prepared for the people trying to sell you things. It’s quite a walk from the pyramids, so make sure you have good walking shoes if you’re not driving or taking a horse cart

Go on the 30 minute camel ride for the best view of all of the pyramids. The panorama views are breathtaking and even better on a camel.

Head here first and don't let anyone talk you into taking a camel ride if you don't really want to - it's perfectly manageable by foot

It was not my first visit but it’s felt like my first coz of the huge changes in organizing the visits .

Difficult to get a good photo with all the posers knocking about. You'd think they were on a catwalk with all the pouting. Be patient. Face of the Sphinx is badly weathered and smaller than imagined
Heesun EumMarch 11, 2017
AWFUL!! Egyptian would be great, but in side of foreigner, i was really disappointed and seek of people who tend to observer as a peddler. They steel ticket and beg for money. I NEVER wanna go again

Before entering the main Tourist Area of the Sphinx, venture to the opposite (right-hand) side for the perfect place to take a quiet photograph. Or, try a trick photo!
