Once in a lifetime experience. However, think carefully before you decide to go inside Pyramid #1. It’s very claustrophobic and the “corridors” are very narrow. Much of the climb is at 45 degree angle. Plus it’s very hot!

I guess the moment you stand in front of the great pyramid is when you realise how great it is. 1. You can get into the First and the Third pyramids. For older people, if you really want to go in, i recommend the Third one as it is a much shorter climb/descent. 2. There are 2 points from which you can take pictures of all the 9 pyramids together. To get to those points you need a ride. I recommend the camel ride (instead of the horse ride) and I recommend the higher of the 2 points. 3. You should also absolutely must see the mortuary temple of the great pyramid where the pharaoh was mummified before being proceeded to the tomb inside the pyramids. There'e these underground causeways that connect the temple with the pyramid. This temple is also right next to the Sphynx. 4.

The feeling of history here is amazing. It's one thing to see this place on the internet and TV, but to be here stood in front of the pyramids is surreal. It's very hot as would be expected and the most important thing is to go with a licenced and reputable guide. They will ensure the many hustlers/scammers/beggars leave you alone and stop you from being extorted. Going inside the great pyramid is a must, although avoid if claustrophobic. It's literally like walking through a sauna fully clothed with some small walkways. Although there is nothing actually inside, to be able to walk through such an old piece of significant human history is amazing!

A truly memorable experience. Books coming to lift. We were lucky to attend in the off season. The weather was warm, not too hot. There were lots of people about but our guide told us you can hardly move about when it’s busy. The pyramids were all I expected plus more. 3! In this complex. We were free to touch and walk around. Not to climb on - for your own safety as several people have died whilst climbing. And for an extra fee go inside the small of the 3. This was not a pleasant experience. Wall to wall people going in and out on the same skinny staircase. It’s quite steep and nothing to see when inside. Other than to say I’ve been inside - hardly worth it. The government is in the process of building a rail network around the complex. When that is completed you WILL NOT be able to walk anywhere near a pyramid, all viewing photographs will be taken from the train.

I kept postponing my visit of this attraction after seeing many Youtube postings about scams and hazzlings here. I decided to stay in a small Guesthouse located across from this attraction and got local guide and driver through them. Entrance fee is 360 EGP or about US or about US $12:00. Note that the locations of the Pyramids and the Sphinx are quite far from each other. One can ride the camels or the horse with a buggy. In my case, we drove from one location to the other after visiting and taking photos of each location. Tips: Wear comfortable shoes, use a hat to shield your face from the hot sun, use Sun screen, drink lots of water. Stay at least 1 night in a Guest House located near the pyramids. Extend the joy of seeing the pyramids.

As part of a two week tour we visited some of the most popular tourist sites near Cairo. The Great Pyramids of Giza being one of those places. Like so many other places we have visited in the world it's hard to describe the sheer magnitude of what these ancient civilizations accomplished without the benefit of modern technology. To this very day there is no real consensus on how the pyramids were constructed but the Egyptians will tell you it was not Aliens...lol You have to see them in person to truly appreciate the size of these structures. I know many people visit during the summer months, I recommend fall/winter since the weather is cooler (still warm) and much more comfortable than the blazing heat of summer.

The Pyramids of Giza are something that I’ve seen in books and magazines since I was a child. They are something that I thought I would never get to see. But my wife and I booked a two week tour of Egypt and the Nile this past December and we got it see them. They are enormous. It is hard to figure out how they were built with such precision. The Pyramids of Giza are colossal. It is a wonder of the world that I am grateful that I got to experience.

The pyramids and spinx are amazing and definitely worth seeing while you’re in Egypt. The pyramids are huge and when you get to the entrance to pay you also have the option of paying to go inside one of them. The area around them is full of souvenir stalls and men with camels/horses trying to get you to go for a ride or take photos for you but a polite no thanks worked for us. We also went to the Egyptian museum which we enjoyed, just be prepared it’s very hot in there so take some water and something to fan yourself with. We didn’t want to do an organised group tour because they make it such an early morning and long day by adding in perfume shops etc, so we booked our own flights and then did a private tour with Naglaa Samir. She picked us up from the airport with her driver, took us to the pyramids and then to the museum and guided us round the museum. She did a great job of explaining the history of Egypt and the pyramids, and all the pieces in the museum. She also took photos for us and sent them to me.

Cairo Top Tours organized our trip. Thanks to Merit, Ramez (Tour leader), Yasser (excellent tour guide) and Ali (driver) for making our Cairo and Alexandria tours a memorable experience. My husband and I travelled to Cairo and Alexandria with peace of mind with the tour company, who took very good care of us and provided superb services. Highly recommended Cairo Top Tours for travel to Egypt.

I've always wanted to visit the pyramids and, just wow, fantastic. In Giza there are only three, from a distance they look very close but in fact are not. It is an amazing experience to visit, and can even go inside if you so desire. If you have any mobility or breathing issues, I wouldn't advise visiting, as it will cause problems. Watch out for people taking photos for you, they will expect a payment. It was definitely worth it but if I'm honest I wouldn't go again; I would try for different pyramids in Eygpt.
