Visiting the Great Sphinx of Giza.It was truly magical. Standing in front of this ancient wonder, carved thousands of years ago, felt surreal. It’s massive, majestic, and full of mystery. The area is well-maintained, and the view with the pyramids in the background is just breathtaking. We took amazing photos and learned so much about ancient Egypt. A must-see for families — it’s one of those places that stays in your heart forever. Highly recommend adding this to your travel bucket list, especially if you’re exploring Egypt.

​An absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable experience. Standing before the Great Sphinx, with the pyramids towering behind it, truly makes you feel the weight of history. The scale of the monument is astounding, and it's a profound experience to see this ancient wonder up close. It's a must-see for anyone visiting Egypt and a moment I won't ever forget

Visiting the Great Sphinx of Giza was one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my trip to Egypt. Standing face-to-face with this colossal limestone guardian feels like stepping into another era. The sheer size and detail of the Sphinx are breathtaking, especially when you realize it has watched over the Giza Plateau for more than 4,500 years. The setting is remarkable — with the pyramids rising behind it and the desert stretching endlessly beyond. It’s fascinating to see how the Sphinx aligns perfectly with the Pyramid of Khafre, to whom it’s believed to be connected. The site is well organized, and there are several viewing platforms that allow for fantastic photos from different angles. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the best light and fewer crowds. Local guides nearby can share interesting historical insights and help you understand the many mysteries and legends surrounding the monument. Be prepared for some vendors, but a polite “no, thank you” works fine. The Sphinx embodies the spirit and mystery of ancient Egypt — silent, majestic, and timeless. Standing there, you can’t help but feel humbled by its presence. It’s truly one of the world’s greatest landmarks and a must-see for anyone visiting Cairo or Giza.

It’s amazing to see after years of only photos. The history is interesting. I was thankful to have a guide who was well informed. It is warm during the summer and this was towards 10 am. Dress accordingly. The marble and limestone are works of art.

Exciting adventure , amazing experience Great entrance for tickets Excellent free bus shuttle inside the Pyramids. Great facilities. No remittance after existing Can go without a guide

An incredible experience to see such a world heritage monument up close. We didn’t go into the museum because the line was too long, so we settled for taking plenty of photos from the outside.

One ticket gets you in to see all the pyramids as well as the Sphinx which is bought at the entrance. Foreigners pay 600 Egyptian pounds. Its a great experience. When taking pictures, locals will try take your phone to assist but thereafter would expect payment.

The Great Sphinx of Giza is an enormous limestone statue on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, featuring a lion's body and a human head, measuring 240 feet long and 66 feet high. Believed to have been carved from the limestone bedrock during the 4th Dynasty (around 2613–2494 BC), it is the oldest known colossal sculpture in the world and a symbol of ancient Egypt.
