Magnificent pyramids. Our guide Dina gave us lots of interesting explanations. I don't regret this trip, despite the travel time, which may seem long.

The information about what exactly I am buying is a bit underestimated. The information what everything is on the site and what everything I can visit within the ticket is not crystal clear. Regarding Headout, I would just say you are ok, reselling a ticket. But what would make you really special? If you would give me an info about the locals, their tricks and how they are trying to constantly get some money from me. Even the "official" guides they sold me something really cheap like a trip maybe five times more expensive! It is my fault I do not have the information, but Headout would be really special to make a section where they give the person useful advices what to avoid, how much things costs - like for example a horse ride or a camel, etc.

I purchased a skip-the-line ticket for the Pyramids through Headout. Everything was clear and the quick entry really made a difference, especially with the heat and crowds.

A MUST for Egypt fans. Very well designed architecture for wheelchair users and baby carriages. Despite the large number of people, there are always opportunities to retreat with a view of the pyramids to pause for a moment and sit down Great!

We had an incredible day. We set off with our guide Reda, a fantastic, wonderful person who was able to explain all the monuments of Egyptian civilization and the different dynasties to us. We also visited the Sphinx. He gave us lots ofexplanations about it and also about all the different types of pyramids. We then visited the new Grand Egyptian Museum, where he really took the time to show us around the entire museum and explain many of the objects. It was a unique experience. I recommend this guide to everyone. He has a great knowledge of Egyptian history. He explained everything in French. He accompanied us all day and it was an exceptional day thanks to him. We would also like to thank the driver, Sayed, a very good driver with exemplary driving skills. We felt safe and it was a real pleasure to be driven by someone so professional in a very nice car. We are very happy with Luna Travel Egypt, and we will definitely use them again if we return to Egypt. Thank you to everyone for giving us a dream day.

Top things to do in Cairo

Visit the Pyramids of Giza

The only remaining wonder of the ancient world, the Pyramids of Giza are a sight to behold. They may not look as intricately beautiful, but the 4,500-year-old set of monuments will leave you gobsmacked, even if you’re not into architecture and engineering. With over 14 million visitors each year, exploring the site where Pharaohs once ruled is like stepping into a time capsule and experiencing the grandeur of an ancient civilization. Tickets get you access to the entire Pyramids of Giza complex, but you will need to buy separate tickets at the venue to enter the Pyramids themselves.

Pyramid of Giza Highlights

The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the last survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was built as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (also known as Cheops) and dates back to 2600 BCE. The pyramid sits at around 137 m (449 ft) tall.

Pyramid of Khafre

The Pyramid of Khafre sits in the middle and is slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid. Built for the pharaoh Khafre (also called Chephren) in 2570 BC, it stands at 136 m (448 ft). Unfortunately, like the other pyramids, its treasures were plundered in ancient and medieval times.

Pyramid of Menkaure

The Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mykerinus), is the smallest of the Giza Pyramids at 62 m (203 ft) high. It was completed around 2510 BC. Up close, you’ll notice that many of the granite blocks used in its construction were left unfinished, possibly due to the sudden death of the pharaoh.

Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx is a monolithic, colossal statue of a mythical creature with the head of a man, and the body of a lion. Between its outstretched paws is the unfinished Sphinx temple, though no one knows what it was intended for. Lookout for the famously broken nose on it.
