It is the prettiest, most unbelievable site to see. It's even more remarkable when you are standing next to the Pyramids and see just how massive they truly are. I had been waiting to see these since I was in elementary school and they didn't disappoint. If you like the camel rides, go for it; but I was a solo... more

We had a fantastic guide when we visited the pyramids at Giza. Doaa Khalifa Muhammad took us on a tour of the pyramids last summer (2008). Doaa's English is very good and she adapted the tour to our interests. She even took us to a carpet factory, Egyptian cotton store and a great restaurant for lunch. Doaa was very helpful... more

My wife and I were staying at the Oberoi The Mena house, complete with balcony view of the pyramids. The next day we did the proper tour of the pyramids but unfortunately found it to be over-rated. 1) Don't get too close to pyramids, like my wife and I did, or you get whistled at by the annoying (and crooked)... more

I thought this would be some hokey pony ride where you get on, grab a quick photo and then back off. But it's definitely not! You get on the camels probably a mile from the pyramids and the experience of riding the camel up to the pyramid not only adds to the Egyptian feel, it's tons of fun! The camels... more

The Pyramids are really a sight to behold. The approach starts with the ticket windows at the parking lot, where you purchase the tickets to the monument and then go through a security check. The entry to the pyramid is a small 'hole in the wall' and the hole gets getting smaller! It is quite an exercise to ascend through... more

We have the privilege to go back to Egypt for the second time via cruise ship. From Alexandria, we rented a taxi to take us to Giza only to visit the Pyramids and the Sphinx again. Riding camel is a must. Enjoy! more

The Pyramids of Giza are ane incredible site to see. When visiting Egypt, it is a must. I just got back a few nights ago from our trip and I vowed to write a review upon my arrival. Here is the deal, all of the things regarding the hagglers is 100 percent correct. You need to be aware of this.... more

We wanted the best possible tour of Ancient Egypt and Egypt Uncovered provided it. Our group (in summer) was small. The tour guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English. We upgraded to a Pyramid view room at the Mena House Hotel and woke each morning with a pyramid almost filling our view. In the evening it took on the colours... more

What a spectacular and inspiring place.... if only the beggars and shifty souvenir sellers were controlled. One dollar, one dollar, one dollar... be prepared to be harassed. The trick is to not acknowledge, make eye contact or engage them in anyway. It is part of their culture and (although quite annoying) a way of life for a lot of them.... more
