6 things you must know before going to the pyramid, a guide to avoid pitfalls
How not to be cheated when playing at the pyramid?
1. The address to buy tickets is "El Ahram Police Station", you can't go wrong with taxi apps like Uber or didi, you can always pay attention to your geographical location on Google Maps, and get off when you arrive at the ticket sales point.
2. Tickets must be purchased at the ticket office by card. 540 pounds, you can ask locals to help you buy tickets by card for 600 pounds, which is cheaper.
3. From the moment you enter the scenic area, there will be countless people watching you, waving or greeting you, no matter what they say, they basically want to cheat money from your pocket. The simplest way is to ignore them, and you won't be cheated if you don't pay attention to anyone.
4. The shooting point of the six pyramids is navigated to "Panoramic view", during which you will pass the toilet of the scenic area, which charges 10 pounds per person and will give you a small ticket. It takes a long time, a long time, to walk from the gate of the scenic area on the side of the Khufu pyramid to the shooting point of the six towers, especially when you see the pyramid for the first time, you will keep stopping to take pictures, this process probably takes more than 2 hours.
5. After taking a panoramic view, you can follow the order: Menkara-Hafla-Khufu Pyramid-Sphinx-East Gate out, to visit the Giza Pyramid Group, this process is also estimated to be two hours.
6. If you take a horse-drawn carriage from the panoramic view to the Sphinx, it is recommended to bargain for 200 pounds and no higher. After arriving at the destination, give a tip according to the situation. If there are similar staff members asking you for carriage fees on the way, ignore him, and give the money to the coachman after getting off the horse at the destination.
The pyramids of Giza are one of the most incredible places in the world to see. Just know that I’m the summer it is really hot. Try to stay at one of the hotels that overlook them. They aren’t too expensive.
Absolutely worth of a visit. Be aware of the scammers though, there are so many people trying to sell you literally anything (even shower gel in the middle of the desert) and watch out your valuables. Always pretend you're recording a video, otherwise they will ask you to give them your smartphone before entering the pyramids.
What an amazing experience to see one of the World Wonders. To hear the history behind the Pyramids. If it's on your bucket list, go see it! You won't be disappointed.
Very good trip, come back to the pyramid after a few years, different feeling.

Not bad, very good,
Not far from Cairo, the traffic is very convenient. The pyramids and sphinx are all together. There are camels around to ride. A must-go place to go to Egypt.
