The 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!

If you are a horse riding lover visit FB Stables and Ride in the shadow of the Great Pyramids or further afield on a half day trip to Saqqara or Abu Sir or camp out over night with a barbecue and fire

The pyramids a really, really huge. You might think about climbing one, but once you get there, you'll change your mind!

The pyramids are really a must see, bucket list item. If you have the opportunity, you definitely have to do it.
David LaderaMay 21, 2018
I 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

It'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

A 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.

Amazing 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.

Bring a hat.Make sure you have enough water.The sun is very unforgiving even in winter.Be weary of simply taking pics of camels.

Preferably 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.
IrinaAugust 14, 2014
There'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

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.
RafiFebruary 9, 2018
For 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.
Bryan KellerJanuary 4, 2020
You 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).
Phat BuoySeptember 23, 2014
One of the greatest places on earth. Marvel at theses incredible wonders. You don't realize how hot it is inside until you come back up for air and the desert wind feels cold on your face!

There are around 100 pyramids in Egypt, but the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Giza is the only survivor of the seven wonders of the ancient world. There are around 10 pyramids in Giza plateau. Read more

When you visit ,you truly realize they are wonders of the world! Ride the camel carriage to avoid the sun it can be brutal..Carriage fares may be exaggerated..don't forget checking out Sphinx
Nataly Cnyrim-KimmelJuly 29, 2013
Located just outside of the outskirts of Cairo on the esplanade known as the Giza Plateau, the Great Pyramids of Giza is the must-see Ancient Egyptian landmark.
Nataly Cnyrim-KimmelJuly 29, 2013
Known as Khufu's Pyramid, it is the greatest pyramid of the complex: a truly overwhelming sight. Being one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it is the only one still standing to this day!
Mohamed KhairallhApril 9, 2020
It is a wonderful place in terms of the greatness of the pyramids a I work in tourism and love to be a tourist guide in Egypt. I am at your service and contacting the phone or WhatsApp +201069355907

Avoid going in the summer. Exhaust the heat will kill you. It's a magical place and it's worth enjoying every moment.
DoubleTree by HiltonAugust 7, 2013
The "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.
SongFebruary 19, 2018
Do come with a guide to avoid the harassment from hawkers. Try the camel ride too - It should cost you about 100-200 EGP.
Max GodoiOctober 2, 2023
The trick here is for you to assess your expectations, visit, enjoy, and feel the place and the monumental buildings, however, don't let yourself be stressed by the sellers.

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

Try 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.
Tony AlexanderNovember 22, 2019
Common 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

The world known pyramid and the only survived wonder of the ancient world. Millions of tourists visit the pyramid every day and some lucky people even enter inside it! Time to visit Egypt. Read more

If 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!
Alicia LuqueAugust 19, 2011
A once in a lifetime experience! Get ready to venture yourself into Cheops', you'll never forget! Make sure to stay hydrated at all times and bring sunscreen to avoid a sunburn! 50% off to ISIC!
Didi KasaApril 5, 2015
Impressive site, totally shaked my logic. Worth every penny to visit. Don't let the locals trick you into getting photos w/ a camel.
Otel.comSeptember 19, 2011
The 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.
Bob RutledgeAugust 13, 2015
Beware! 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.
OnurDecember 4, 2012
that's all in Cairo. just jumped. and breakfast near the river Nil. not a place to be seen very necessary. but sharm-el sheikh is must!...
Abhinav SharmaJune 16, 2012
If you go past the sphinx to where they usually hold the light and sound show, you can see all the 9 pyramids in a row (yes, there's 9, though 6 are smaller than the three big ones!)
BestTravellerAugust 16, 2019
Amazing !!! 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

The pyramid is cool, just not comfortable when taking a photo and should be carefully because many who offer sufenir and ask for the money

One of the best Tourist guide in Egypt 🇪🇬❤️😍

Go 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
Shahd KtaniAugust 10, 2013
Be aware what are you spending on , horse and camel owners may take advantage of you , but anyways still a great place after all !!
Sean MascarenhasNovember 28, 2016
Reading books and watching TV Shows with references to these marvels are such a shame. As a historical buff, it's absolutely worth repeat visits.
flybmiJune 29, 2011
If you enjoy a little bit of adventure, pay a little extra to go inside the Great Pyramids and have fun climbing and crouching through the low-height tunnels
Heesun EumMarch 9, 2017
Every 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
Ollie MartinMay 18, 2013
The 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.
Mohammad AbusharifNovember 3, 2015
One of the rare marvels of this world! Magnificent day or night when its lit
Ms. WhiteAugust 15, 2013
Don'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!
DoubleTree by HiltonAugust 7, 2013
Don’t miss watching the sunrise from the roof terrace of the hostel situated near the western entrance and ticket office.
Seif JalabyDecember 7, 2012
the 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
Charles MillerFebruary 17, 2013
Wow! Just amazing! The donuts they sell here are to DIE FOR! Oh yeah, and the pyramids are alright, too...
