Pyramids of Giza, Giza

The pyramids themselves are amazing to see. Great place to get some amazing photos. That said,, the entire place is a huge tourist trap and you need to go in with that attitude and that everyone is looking for $ even the site workers. Each step of the way they ask for $ and for you to take care of them. They are helpful and sly/pushy with helping you take photos however they expect $ for it. I recommend eating, drinking and using the restroom before hand. You can bring your own water. The hose and buggy rides are a nice way to limit walking in the sun, however animal lovers beware as they aren't and they don't spare the whip. The ATV rides outside the entrance are OK, however the equipment is junk and worn out..bent axles and all. They take you through basically a sewer to get to the desert. The desert had nice views but again a tourist trap as they have people staged out there with camels to take pictures with you and once again they expect $ whether you get on the camels or not. Overall, great place to get pictures and see one of the 7 wonders of the world, but go in with the right expectations!

The Great Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu is the only surviving relic of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The construction of the Great Pyramid is a major cultural shift in the history of ancient Egypt. Khufu was influenced by his father, King Sneferu, in building his pyramid.

Amazing place, such wonderful history around the Pyramids. How did they make them? So much more to see than just the 3 main Pyramids too. Do interact with the locals, they take great, fun photos. The sound & light show is worth seeing too.

The last surviving of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramids of Giza are one of the world's most recognizable landmarks. Built as tombs for the mighty Pharaohs and guarded by the enigmatic Sphinx, Giza's pyramid complex has awed travelers down through the ages and had archaeologists (and a fair few conspiracy theorists) scratching their heads over how they were built for centuries. Today, these megalithic memorials to dead kings are still as wondrous a sight as they ever were. An undeniable highlight of any Egypt trip, Giza's pyramids should not be missed.
