Erected over 4000 years ago, these pyramids are as impressive now as they were then, and continue to\u00a0draw mere mortals into their\u00a0fold. Today, many people all over have dreamt of standing at the foot of these magnificent structures, longing to be in the presence of ancient Egypt&#8217;s might and power.

Even with the machinery available to us in modern times, this would be a remarkable feat! Alien theorists also say that the three pyramids are in better shape than others built centuries later. While scientists haven&#8217;t been able to fathom just how the pyramids were built, there&#8217;s plenty of evidence that shows they are the work of highly skilled, well-fed Egyptian workers from days gone by.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>When to visit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The best time of day to visit the pyramids is usually in the late afternoon because by this time large groups of tourists have usually dissipated.

December and January are peak tourist season, so sights like the Pyramids of Giza along with the Temples of Luxor and Abu Simbel are notoriously crowded. If you plan on seeing these attractions during your visit to Egypt, it&#8217;s best to visit at a time when you can enjoy them with ease. Bear in mind that the quieter months from June to September are sweltering, so being outside can get quite uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to get there\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you decide to visit this ancient phenomenon as part of a multi-day group tour, you have the advantage of being taken straight up to the pyramids in an air-conditioned coach. You skip the queues for tickets to the pyramids, and you get an experienced guide who can help you avoid any tourist traps! Otherwise, it&#8217;s just a short eight-minute walk through the sand from where the buses or taxis will drop you off, or you can hire a camel or a horse. If you do opt for a camel or horse (walking through the\u00a0sand isn&#8217;t always ideal) then negotiate the fee (USD 7-8) before you hop on and pay once you reach your destination.<\/p>\n<p>You can also grab a bus from Midan Tahrir, the large public square in the centre of Cairo. From here large buses numbered 800 and 900 will take you the pyramids, there&#8217;s also the number 82 which is a smaller bus (be sure to check if there have been any route changes or updates). You can also purchase a tour ticket from your hotel, this way you&#8217;ll be picked up from the hotel. Or you could take a taxi.<\/p>\n<p>Cabs in Egypt are black and white, and it&#8217;s best to agree on a price before you drive off. Frommers does mention that sometimes cab drivers try to take charge tourists a little more, it&#8217;s best to ask a local what the typical amount is and make sure you have small bills, or close to the exact amount as a lot of taxi drivers don&#8217;t carry much change. It&#8217;s not customary for women to sit in the front of a taxi in Egypt as socially it&#8217;s not considered appropriate.\u00a0If you don&#8217;t want to haggle with taxi drivers, another great option is Uber.<\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/egypt-vs-morocco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Egypt vs. Morocco: Which Destination is Right for You?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Exploring the Pyramids of Giza<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While it&#8217;s possible to reach the pyramids from Cairo, you could also spend the night at one of the hotels in front of the pyramids. There&#8217;s something to be said for waking up to a view of one of the world&#8217;s most ancient treasures. Sometimes the guards will let you walk over to the dunes (depending on their mood), and that&#8217;s one of the best spots for a view of the pyramids. To see the Sphinx from the front, you may have to pay a little bit extra for the privilege. Otherwise, you can observe it from the side for free with everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Once you enter the site, you can explore on foot or hire a horse or camel to experience these structures and the breathtaking vastness of the nearby desert. While it&#8217;s possible to go inside the pyramids, it&#8217;s worth bearing in mind that the mummies have been moved to the nearby Egyptian Museum, which is also worth a visit! Usually, there&#8217;s one pyramid included with the cost of your ticket (depending on what kind you have), but you may have to pay a little more to enter\u00a0Khufu\u2019s Pyramid and Khafree\u2019s Pyramid. While fascinating from the inside, they mostly all look the same, so it might not be worth spending money on all of them! Within the walls of these structures, you&#8217;ll find ancient inscriptions and art.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16810\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16810\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16810 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/hotel-view-min.jpg\" alt=\"View of the ancient Egyptian burial ground in Giza, west of Cairo from a hotel room\" width=\"680\" height=\"451\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/hotel-view-min.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/hotel-view-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/451;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You could wake up to this view while visiting Egypt&#8217;s Pyramids of Giza | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/m1key-me\/19207474281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u24d2 Micha\u0142 Huniewicz\/Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During the evenings, there&#8217;s a Sound and Light Show that&#8217;s been going strong for over two decades.
