It was interesting to reflect on life and feel the It's an easy to walk around site (ignore the hustling locals, use your ear phones). One can see all pyramids and the Sphynx in two hours.. unless you decide to walk all the way around the pyramids to get a different perspective and visit the observation point, then it might... More

If you go to Egypt then seeing the Pyramids are a must. They are the last remaining Wonders of the World and they really are just that. We've travelled alot and have seen Ayres Rock, the Grand Canyon and The Great Wall of China but tthe Pyramids are the best of the bunch in fact Egypt has more to see... More

I was in awe by the thought and the sight of these magnificent structures. I found the vendors to no be very problematic like i have read. I would caution you this is not something that you want to walk, hire a car or better yet a guide. More

Our tour stopped at the Pyramids of Giza for about 45 minutes on our run through Egypt. This trip was on my bucket list, so I was very excited to finally see the Sphinx and Pyramids in person. I would have given the exhibit an excellent rating if it were not for the "vendors"... I had heard about the hassles... More

One of the most amazing experiences I've seen and worth a visit. I would strongly advise you to hire a tour guide with good English and knowledge on this occasion - you can arrange this with the hotel travel desk you are staying at (in general) and negotiate a fair price. Practically every tour gude will try and scam you... More

The pyramids are amazing and worth seeing. It has been known for years that there can be a lot of hassle in and around the pyramids from touts. We live in Egypt and yesterday went to a dinner dance near the pyramids, staying overnight at the Mena House. As we approached the hotel around 4pm our car was forcibly stopped... More

U been to Cairo and u definitely cannot miss the famous pyramids of Giza... The city is somehow identified by these breathtaking monuments. It's a must see.. It's 60LE to enter the pyramid complex.. However if u wish to enter the burial chambers u ll need to pay extra.. 100 LE to enter the biggest pyramid and 30LE to enter... More
