If you are in Egypt or planning on going this attraction is already on your to do list. However, try to go early before it gets hot and watch out for the peddlers and "free guides." Everything costs money! If people offer to take pictures or help you go in the pyramids except to pay them some ba'shish (tip). Other... More

The pyramids at Giza are beautiful. But beware of people selling things!! Don't let anyone use your camera to take a photo of you, no matter how nice they appear! you may have to pay to get it back. A man selling hats put a hat on my husbands head and said he had to pay for it, they are... More

My daughter and I flew up from Luxor for the day on a trip organised with Love Egypt Tours. It was a fantastic experience, but what really made the day was the camel ride out into the desert to view the pyramids. What a vantage point! Yes, you do feel like a 'real' tourist, but you simply can't miss it!

I'm sure I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said! I mean, this is one of the 7 wonders of the world! It's amazing. We went with our 4 children (ages 9,7,4,2). We only spent 1/2 day there, and it was enough for us. This included seeing the Sphinx and a short camel ride. You can also... More

We arranged a day trip from Luxor. We flew up in the morning were met by our guide who then took us to the pyramids and the sphinx. We were unable to buy a ticket for the Khufus pyramid as the 100 for the day had already sold but we did go into khafrens pyramid. It is quite a small... More

Awesome to see but a bit disappointing. Amazing wall paintings, still vibrant colours after all these years. A bit wiffy but worth a visit. Still discovering new buirial chambers today.

We arrived the entrance to the pyramids at 7.30 am, but were not allowed through until 8.00 am. We had to brave the hoards of hawkers and camels and horses and donkeys, which was very intimidating and frightening. The cruelty of the owners of these animals( most of which had ribs showing through their coats) had to be seen to... More

You will go back in history for 7000 years, you will see the intelligence of the old Egyptian , you have to think too many times how they build this wonderful pyramids and what is the secret behind them, how they were perfect in their calculation and how it is matching with the Sun, a lot of math and engineering...

This place was as magical as I had hoped. We were fortunate that it wasn't very crowded when we were there. Definitely a bucket list must! Beware of vendors and people with camels who will charge you for taking a picture with the camel in it. Can get very aggressive.
