Loved seeing the pyramids and sphinx up close. Skip the line saved some time but because of the heat we still opted to hire a horse cart to take us around. It was worth it. We also purchased the option of going inside the great pyramid. This was not worth it. It was just a long low tunnel to a small room. Waste of money.

As an improvement, an information point may be present at the direct entrance! As a tourist you come in, and know nothing. As a result, rogue carriage rides and horse ride vendors soon accost you, and make you pay too much for a ride. The sign saying ''tourists pay 500EGP per hour'' is only placed much further on. This should be at the direct entrance. The fact that the buses are free is also not clearly indicated anywhere. Whereby these rogue vendors will pack you in where you stand.... Please follow these tips, it will give many tourists a happy experience....

The pyramids are majestic and impressive even before you enter. Points for improvement : The access point to enter is not worthy of a site such as the pyramids. No signs, no explanations for independent visitors. Everything is done to encourage visitors to take a guided tour. The visitor experience is severely degraded by the numerous unwanted requests for photos, camel rides, etc. Little explanation available on site to better understand the history of the site. Poorly defined security perimeter around the monuments, out-of-date and damaged gates, lighting and wires left exposed.

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.

I should have been given a flyer, either physical or online, with the circuit or circuits available and how to do them. When I entered, I felt lost and didn't know where to start. And I was immediately approached about horse and camel schemes which, in my opinion, given that we pay for a ticket, like any museum, there should be no other forms of competition or sale outside the internal system.

I purchased bundle tickets to access Pyramids and also to enter inside of Khufu pyramid for 2 people. Tickets came in one document, tickets to access pyramids were Ok, but tickets to inside of Khufu pyramid was issued for different date (when I was purchasing tickets, not for the date which I ordered it for). How could I access Inside of Khufu pyramid different day than pyramids? Where is the logic?? We we're rejected to enter as ticket was invalid because issued for different date. I went to some office by the entrance, some guy wanted to help and sent photos of those tickets to some office and after like 15 minutes he said it was solved and we can go back and enter inside of Khufu pyramid. Unfortunately it was not working again. This ruined whole our experience as we paid quite a lot of money and were not able to see what we came for. You are absolutely incompetent amateurs. Send us back at least our money!

The fast-track entry to the Giza Plateau worked well However, it was not clear that you needed an extra ticket to enter the pyramids. And it was misleading that there was talk of a pick-up point, even though we had already been given a ticket that should have made it clear that there were two tickets, one for the grounds and the other for entry to the pyramids? So we have now left without having been inside. That's more than annoying because we paid for it and I would like to have the money back. So for the entrance to the pyramid. It was really badly explained

Such a wonderful tour. I've learnt lots from our tour guide Ahmed about the ancient history of each pyramid and each kings. I would recommend first time traveler to book a private tour in order to learn more about history and best experience from the local guide.

Private half-day with departure at 8 a.m. sharp and return around noon, but you can take as much time as you like. We were able to see the pyramids from all angles, as well as the Sphinx. The guide, Reda (in French), was very friendly and smiling, making it a great outing! And the driver, Tamer, was very vigilant on the road. Just so you know, we had taken the private exit without entry to the pyramids etc. (but it's certainly possible to change your mind on the spot if you change your mind at the entrance, I think). You have to pay the entrance ticket to the pyramids in addition to the tour (1700 Egyptian pounds). We just didn't appreciate the cash cow aspect at the end of the tour, even though we understood that this was the game... "don't buy anything at the pyramids, you'll get ripped off there's another store outside". But we didn't really find the attractive prices or the coveted objects. Our visit to the papyrus store was a little oppressive, with the saleswoman insisting heavily that we buy something... Otherwise, everything was perfect and I highly recommend the visit, which was rich in detail and history. Thank you Reda!

Whether you're exploring their interiors, riding a camel through the desert, or simply taking in their incredible scale, a visit to Giza is a journey through history.

Stay on this page to learn more about the tickets for the various pyramids, timings, how to get there, and more. 

Pro tips to make your visit to the Pyramids of Giza a seamless one

From skip-the-line tickets to guided half-day and full-day tours and day trips with additional activities, you have several ticket options to choose from based on budget, time available and adventure level. Read on to find out more about all the ticket options and choose the ones best for you.

Let’s help you pick the perfect Pyramids of Giza experience.

Tickets to the pyramids

  • If you are on a budget with some time constraints and just want to visit the Giza Plateau, Skip-the-line Complex tickets are ideal for you. They will give you access to the Giza Complex but not entry into the Pyramid. You will get to take photos in front of the pyramids and the Sphinx. 
  • If you wish to explore inside the pyramids, you can opt for the Inside the Pyramid Experience, but keep in mind that there will be a lot of tight spaces that will include some climbing and crawling.
  • To dive deeper into Egyptian history beyond Giza, consider Skip-the-line tickets for Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur that will take you to Egypts oldest pyramids at Saqqara, the Colonel Ramses II statue at Memphis and the bent pyramids in Dahshur.

Guided tours

  • If you don’t have enough time but want to explore the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, a guided half-day tour with hotel transfers is available. You can choose between a shared or private experience and optional upgrades that include entry tickets to the pyramids and a camel ride.
  • If you have time and want a comprehensive experience, opt for a full-day guided tour. Visit the Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, and Khan el-Khalili Bazaar on a private or group tour with lunch and a guide. Alternatively, you can explore Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis with entry tickets and lunch, immersing yourself in ancient Egypt’s rich history and iconic landmarks.

Day trips and activities

  • If you're in Cairo with limited time, the Half-Day Guided Tour with a 1-Hour Felucca Ride offers a complete experience. Explore the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, visit the Valley Temple, see the Sphinx, and enjoy a peaceful felucca ride on the Nile with a private guide.
  • If you are travelling from Hurghada and time and budget are not an issue, opt for the Full-Day Trip to Cairo with Guide, Transfers & Lunch that will take you to Cairo by plane or car. With an expert guide, you can explore the all the pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum. This ticket also includes lunch and a return transfer to Hurghada by road or flight.
  • Choose Skip-the-line Complex tickets if you're on a budget and short on time, or the Inside the Pyramid Experience if you want to explore inside. For a deeper dive into history, opt for Skip-the-line tickets to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur.
  • Pick a half-day guided tour for a quick Giza visit or a full-day tour for a more detailed experience, including the Egyptian Museum and Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. From Hurghada, the Full-Day Trip to Cairo is ideal if budget isn't a concern.
  • If you’re in Cairo briefly, the Half-Day Guided Tour with a Felucca Ride offers a balanced mix of history and a Nile experience.

Book your tickets online

Scams around the Giza Pyramids are common, including overpriced tickets and unofficial guides. To ensure a hassle-free experience, we strongly recommend booking your tickets and tours online in advance through official platforms. This guarantees fair pricing, avoids on-site confusion, and lets you fully enjoy your visit to this iconic wonder.

Hi, Thank you for coming to Maadi and picking us up even though there was no pick-up point. Our guide was very polite and helpful. Although the weather was very hot and the wait was a bit tiring, we completed it beautifully. Thank you again.

Loved seeing the pyramids and sphinx up close. Skip the line saved some time but because of the heat we still opted to hire a horse cart to take us around. It was worth it. We also purchased the option of going inside the great pyramid. This was not worth it. It was just a long low tunnel to a small room. Waste of money.

I had a great experience thanks to my tour guide, Ramy. He showed up early to pick me up, taught me a bit of Arabic, and was very friendly throughout the entire ATV and camel ride. Thanks Ramy!

Enjoyed the ATV and camel rides. The guide filled us in. They managed to accept our last minute additional trip to Saqaara temples and took us to the airport. Awesome!
