    I bought the tickets on the day but noone told me that it may take up to 2 hours to receive e them after payment. In my case it took about 45-60 min. Some of the camel guys were really pesturing us even if repeatedly told them that we don't want their service which did not allow us to focus on the grandeur of the pyramids. The waiter at the restaurant got the conversion from egypt pounds to dollars wrong / but did not try to cheat as the initial estimate was not in his favour, it was just annoying to be stopped while leaving the restaurant and be told that the bill I just paid was wrong/. Also the entrance to the Menkaura's pyramid was not included in the ticket.

    View, pyramids was great. People with camel, horses, they were scary, they were harassing, pestering, the state should take care of them because they make it almost impossible to visit

    New experience for us. Nice to see the historic places and able to enter the pyramid But too many seller and scammers distort our experience
  • Step inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu

    Skip the long ticket queues and walk straight into the heart of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Navigate its narrow corridors and climb through steep passageways to reach the King’s Chamber, where Pharaoh Khufu was laid to rest over 4,500 years ago. This is one of the few pyramids in Egypt still open to visitors.

    Upgrade to explore the Queen’s Pyramid

    Enhance your visit by adding access to the Queen’s Pyramid at Giza, built as a final resting place for royal women of Khufu’s dynasty. These smaller pyramids stand beside the Great Pyramid, offering a different perspective on royal burials in ancient Egypt.

    Uncover the origins of pyramid building at Saqqara

    For a deeper historical dive, choose a ticket with entry into the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. As Egypt’s first-ever pyramid, it laid the foundation for all pyramids that followed. Step inside its ancient corridors and experience the evolution of pyramid architecture firsthand.

    Experience two legendary pyramids in one visit

    For the ultimate pyramid exploration, select a combo ticket that grants access inside both the Great Pyramid at Giza and the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. See the pinnacle of pyramid engineering at Giza and its very beginnings at Saqqara—a journey through the rise of ancient Egypt’s most iconic structures.
