we visited the Pyramids at Giza early november. we didn't want to be tied down with a tour company so we organised our own tour. This presented a lot of problems. firstly we arranged a taxi from our hotel (Intercontinental Citystars) to the pyramids, we thought we had a good deal at 60LE all in. but the taxi driver diverted... more

Travelled to Egypt September 2009 and visited Pyramids. Whilst they are stunning and magnificent structures and have to be seen to believed the vultures around them are not! Because we are friendly and not use to the bribery etc in our country we got sucked in!! We had hired a car with a guide but this still didn't protect us!... more

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).

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
