Our visit to the Pyramids of Giza was truly an experience, full of awe and wonder. From the moment we caught our first glimpse of the massive structures rising against the desert backdrop, it was clear we were in the presence of one of the most iconic and mysterious landmarks in the world. The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, immediately stood out as an incredible feat of engineering. Its sheer size and precision left us speechless as we marveled at the alignment and craftsmanship that went into its construction over 4,000 years ago. It’s hard to wrap your head around the fact that these structures have withstood the test of time and weather, continuing to dominate the landscape. The atmosphere of the site was mesmerizing. Even with the bustling crowds, there was a sense of reverence and respect that permeated the air. Walking around the site, we couldn’t help but feel connected to the past and imagine what life was like for those who built these monumental structures. Please be aware of the scammers trying to offer you services and sell their souvenirs. Carry warm clothes if you are planning to visit the site in winter, it can be windy and cold. I wouldn’t recommend going inside the pyramids by paying for the extra pass. Walking inside can be challenging and tiring.

The pyramids was magnificent. The feeling of seeing the greatness of it from up close is unforgettable. The camel rides was great, it's a must while you are there, but make sure you bargain hard and prepare tips for the guy, which he might asks for more, just say no and give what you feel like it deserves, 300-400 pounds okay for me.

Really beautiful place, a lot of history. Nice place to take some pictures. A lot of people selling stuff and they can be hostile trying to sell you anything. Don’t take anything when they say it for free(they will ask for money anyways). Make sure to go to the 9 pyramid lounge.

Visiting the Great Pyramids of Giza is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and an absolute must for anyone traveling to Egypt. These iconic structures, standing tall for over 4,500 years, are a testament to the ingenuity and grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization. The sheer size and scale of the pyramids are awe-inspiring, with the Great Pyramid of Khufu being the largest and most impressive. Walking around these wonders, you can’t help but marvel at the precision and craftsmanship that went into their construction. The nearby Sphinx, with its enigmatic expression, adds another layer of mystery and wonder to the site. The site is well-organized, with clear pathways and plenty of opportunities for exploration. You can even venture inside some of the pyramids to experience their interior chambers—a thrilling and unforgettable adventure. The panoramic views of the pyramids against the backdrop of the desert are perfect for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset. The guides and local vendors add a lively atmosphere, and hiring a knowledgeable guide is highly recommended to fully appreciate the history and stories behind these magnificent structures. The Great Pyramids of Giza are more than just monuments—they are a journey into the heart of human history and achievement. Whether you’re fascinated by archaeology, history, or just looking for a breathtaking experience, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is not to be missed.

Google Review for Giza Pyramids Visit Visiting the Giza Pyramids was an unforgettable experience: 1. Cool Weather: The chilly weather made exploring the site more comfortable and enjoyable. 2. Crowded Atmosphere: The area was quite busy with visitors, which added to the lively ambiance but also felt a bit congested at times. 3. Awe-Inspiring Sights: Seeing the pyramids up close was truly mesmerizing, a moment to reflect on the ingenuity of ancient civilizations and the magnificence of Allah's creations, which surpass all human achievements. Despite the crowds, witnessing this wonder of the world in person was a profound and humbling experience. A must-visit for anyone seeking inspiration and historical wonder.

The Cheops Pyramid is is huge, like, “ancient aliens definitely helped” huge. It’s the last of the Seven Wonders still standing, and after seeing it, I get why! Its worth seeing the pyramids up close, from afar, from inside, and walking around them. The tickets to go are a few more $$$ but its worth it just for the surreal feeling of 2 million blocks towering above your head (and a quick cardio workout to get back up the stairs). You will be asked repeatedly for camel and horse rides, its worth it for the experience (but try to keep the guides to the posted 500 LE per half-hour), but don't miss out from walking around them on foot as well. Great day out, an unmissable day in you are in Cairo.

Visiting the Pyramids of Giza for the first time was an absolute dream come true! Standing before these magnificent ancient wonders was a truly mind-blowing experience that exceeded all expectations. The sheer scale and beauty of the pyramids left me in awe—it’s something you have to see in person to truly appreciate. Pros: • The site is beautifully maintained, preserving its historical and cultural significance while allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the magic of the past. • One of the most special aspects was being able to get up close and even touch the pyramids. It made the experience feel incredibly personal and unforgettable. Cons: • Unfortunately, the presence of fake tour guides, cartmen, and persistent sellers within the grounds was a bit overwhelming. While understandable in a site of such popularity, it would be great if stricter control was implemented—perhaps introducing official government tour guide IDs to help visitors easily distinguish trustworthy guides. Despite this minor drawback, my visit was nothing short of extraordinary. The Pyramids of Giza are a must-see for anyone, and this experience will forever hold a special place in my heart. Truly a wonder of the world that deserves every bit of its acclaim!
