Great Pyramid of Giza

Giza Governorate, Egypt

4.5 (0)

Overview

Oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis; one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.

Why visit: The oldest of the Seven Wonders and the only one still standing — and unlike almost every other ancient site, you can go inside.

Things to do

›Buy the separate ticket to go inside a pyramid — the entry fee only covers the site
›Walk or ride out to the panorama point for the classic all-three view
›Go at opening; by mid-morning both the heat and the crowds have arrived
›Agree any camel or horse price in writing beforehand, and pay at the end
