You can see the Sphinx in about 30 minutes all in but there was another ticket we didn't know you could purchase to get up close to the feet which would have been amazing. There are a lot of people in a small space for this so it's going to need patience no matter what time of day you arrive. The walk in is through a bazar again which has some nice things but nothing super unique

After visiting the pyramids, we visited the Sphinx. It is amazing how old this is and how great it looks. There are tons of people there so make sure you are ready to take quick photos or you might have a lot of people in your photo. I enjoyed walking to the front and seeing the Sphinx with the pyramids in the background

Well what can I say a completely awe inspiring experience , quite a magical moment watching the sun set over this awesome piece of history. You cannot actually go right up to the monument but close enough to see the majesty of this great beast and take some incredible photographs. There are a lot of monuments to walk through and touch before you reach the viewing platform. There are lots of stalls selling all sorts of souvenirs , you are constantly bombarded form all angles by local people trying to sell you things , it does get a little frustrating but a firm NO soon sends them away. A must do quite magical experience.

Seeing the Great Sphinx of Giza was like a dream come true. Ever since childhood, I had read about this magnificent monument, imagining its grandeur and mystery. Finally standing before it was an incredible moment - until reality hit. The sheer number of tourists was overwhelming. It was so crowded that not only was it impossible to take a decent picture, but even moving around felt like a challenge. Our guide gave us only 10 minutes to admire the Sphinx, but with the crowd, it was nowhere near enough. Despite the chaos, it remains a must-see. The Sphinx is an iconic wonder that deserves all the admiration, but I wish the experience had been a little less hectic.

The pyramids are so famous that they are called "sphinxes" - stone statues with human heads and lion torsos. Most of it was buried in the sand, so it remained in a beautiful shape. It is 73.5m long, 20m high and 19m wide, and is said to be the largest statue carved from monolithic rock in the world.　　This tour comes with a special ticket to the side of the Sphinx. It looks like you can take a powerful photo. I'll be right around the corner and ask you to describe this stela.　It seems to be a stela (dream inscription) between the paws of the Great Sphinx celebrating the achievements of Thutmose IV.　　You can see the Sphinx's face well from here.　　My nose is broken. Now let's walk around the Sphinx.　　This is the hind leg part.　That's pretty big. She has a big butt.　　They say the Sphinx has been restored many times since it was dug out.

Like the Pyramids, it was great to see another amazing site. You cannot see it close up as it costs a lot of money and you need to apply for a permit. Definitely worth travelling 5 hours to see.

The seductively beautiful and incredibly well-preserved Sphinx is the perfect contrast to and companion of the time-worn, rough-faced pyramids nearby. Tourists can enjoy getting right up close to within a few tens of feet of this divine structure. Well done the Egyptian guardians for making this amazing place still so accessible.

The Sphinx is part of the Giza Pyramids site. You approach it via a raised walkway that runs along one side of the Sphinx to its back then return. This walk was probably the most crowded part of our experience at the Giza Pyramids. There are places near Khafre's Valley Temple that give great views of the Sphinx facing full on against the Pyramid of Khafre.

One of the world’s largest and most recognizable limestone monoliths, this giant 4,500-year-old statue, is near the Great Pyramid and the Khafre Pyramid. They make a formidable sight. It is 240 feet (73 meters) long and 66 feet (20 meters) high. The Great Sphinx was created around 2500 BC for Pharaoh Khafre, then carved from the plateau’s bedrock. The Great Sphinx was revealed as a male with a pharaoh’s headdress in the guise of a spiritual guardian, like those found in tombs and temples all around and especially complexes like Sphinx Alley in Upper Egypt. An immense sight that left me speechless for minutes...

I won't say much more about the Sphinx, it's easy to find a lot of information about it. I will only say that seen up close, the human face of the Sphinx seemed quite beautiful to me. It is said to depict Pharaoh Khafre, who has the second largest pyramid on the Plateau. We visited the place early in the morning. Even so, near the Sphinx it was crowded enough that I could hardly take a few photos.
