All except that they would not let us into the pyramid of khufu because the ticket showed that we had paid only 700 Egyptian Lira.

It was really a great experience and with headout app the entrance process went smoothly. It always feels comfortable to arrange in advance for the tickets.

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.
