You cant miss this one ;) If you can get an early morning ticket to go inside, do it! Its the best experience you'll ever have. Be prepared for a low ceiling and a long steep climb, but once youre inside the kings chamber you'll be in bliss. I wish I could go there again and again. More

Very impressive. can go inside the pyramid for and extra fee,no apt for claustrophobic people. Very hot. The vendors around are unbearable , don't pay attention to them. I paid $1 to take the picture with the camel. More

I was actually blown away here - no photograph actually does this, or any of Egypt's ancient monuments, justice. It is timeless and beautiful! More

In addition to the entrance fee to Giza, you will need to be one of the 150 people in the morning who pays 100 L.E. to go inside the Great Pyramid. Go! It is worth it. The climb takes some effort, but for most people it is doable. When you are climbing down, go down backwards because it is easier... More
