Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx tour
Cairo · Egypt
About this experience
On the Giza plateau, the pyramids and the Great Sphinx stand like a vast stage at the edge of the desert. The stone blocks grow as you approach, and the scale seen in photographs gives way to the real thing. Guides' commentary opens up questions of why and how the pyramids were built.
Shade is scarce in the open, so a hat, water and sunscreen are essential. Pick footwear that copes with sand and stone. Sellers may approach, and a polite no is enough. The tour runs in spring, autumn and winter, and early morning is both cooler and less crowded.
