Brilliant. Great photo ops of all the pyramids can be seen from here and a perfect view of Cairo city in the background. Take a camel or a horse drawn buggy to visit the pyramids.

Pretty tough on arthritic knees! However, once you are completely inside and are able to stand up, the discomfort is certainly worthwhile. I felt an almost spiritual... More
