I still think that the show at Karnak in Luxor is more entertaining, but you might as well see both and decide for yourself. Since the Pyramids were my last stop in Egypt I ran out of clean clothes and wore shorts and covered my tank top with a cover-up. Therefore my tip is: dress in layers and feel out the situation as I obviously recommend covering up in rural area and mosques.
I wish I had a hat with me, as I totally sunburnt my head. Ship at the pyramids? How to Visit Valley of the Kings in Luxor.
Interesting Facts About Egypt. Any questions about visiting the great ancient pyramids of Giza? Let me know in the comments below! I was there the week Mubarak got ousted.
I think the place has been through a whirlwind since. Nice to see it getting back to normal. Great info! Can you tell me about how much time each activity took? Going up the dunes looks really worth the photo opportunity. Hi Anna, Your blog is fantastic! We are planning a trip to Egypt in October. I have booked the hotel you suggested at Giza but do you have any suggestions for hotels in Cairo? It seems you only stayed there transiting in and out- is that correct? Anything on the Nile is nice but slightly more expensive.
Also it sounds like we can get a room at that hotel get up early and just go for it no tour guide needed? These days Egypt is never too crowded, but the Pyramids always are during the day. Hi Anna, This is a well-informed post. Thank you for that. I gain a lot of information from your post and they are really useful for me cause I have a plan to get Egypt this summer holiday. Thanks for your posts. Very helpful, would love to visit the pyramids alone in the near future.

That is, you can go into the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure as long as you pay for a ticket. That's the good news. The bad news starts with the mundane issues of how hard it can be to get inside. The total mounts up fast, especially if you're traveling with your family. Second, ticket sales are not a smooth procedure. Changes occur in the process regularly, and you can never be sure of exactly what to expect.
First, there's often, but not always, a limit imposed on ticket sales for the smaller pyramids, those of Khufu and Khafre. This is usually tickets per pyramid per day, but only are offered in the morning, the rest are saved until the afternoon. People get annoyed and impatient and you may run into pushing and shoving.
