How to explore the Pyramids of Giza

The Pyramids of Giza offer travelers a striking window into ancient Egypt, revealing the ambition and ingenuity of the pharaohs who built them. Constructed between 2550 and 2490 BCE, the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—alongside the iconic Sphinx—form a complex whose engineering still puzzles experts. Today, visitors can explore the pyramids’ narrow passageways, admire their precise alignment, and learn how thousands of workers shaped these colossal tombs. For a full experience of the complex, travelers are encouraged to arrive early to avoid crowds, dress modestly for the climate, and prepare for several hours of exploration. Whether guided or independent, a visit to Giza is both immersive and unforgettable.
