WHERE TO STAY
🏡 The best place to stay is with a view of the Pyramids, it’s so magical!
.
I personally stayed at ‘Jacuzzi By The Historic Giza Pyramids - Apartment 4’ - you can book directly on their website xurustays.com
.
Alternatively, I’ve heard really good things about Hi Pyramids, which you can book on booking.com, but they seem to be booked out in advance so be sure to plan ahead if you’d like to stay there!
TIPS FOR VISITING
🎟️ Purchase your tickets online egymonuments.com
💸 Cost to enter EGP540 ($17)
🔺If you’d like to enter any of the pyramids or tombs, there is an extra cost and you can choose which ones you’d like to visit/ purchase on the same website where it says ‘Add-on’s’
⏰ The opening hours are 07:00 am - 05:00 pm, personally I would go first thing at 7 am, it was so quiet and peaceful when we visited
🐪 Do you need a guide? I was warned to be careful when visiting because there are a lot of scammers! I personally chose not to use a guide, participate in any camel/ horse rides etc. You can walk around and explore on your own, just give yourself extra time because the area is quite big! If you are going to book a tour, I would look into something reliable such as on getyourguide or airbnb experiences
.
The Pyramids of Giza are one of those places that lived up to the hype, I couldn’t get over how massive they are and marveled at them for hours!
