Incredible pyramids

The pyramids of Giza are jaw droppingly insane. To stand in front of these gigantic structures, is an unforgettable feeling. The pyramids and surrounding Sphinx are also monunents that one must see at least once in your life. Although the historic site is mesmerizing, the experience itself is another story. To actually get there, it's perhaps much easier using Careem or Uber; I'm not even sure public transport gets you there. Like other historical sites in Egypt, you might want to hire a guide to take you around beforehand as the sites are quite vast and plentiful. Keep in mind that there's a single ticket and then you can pay for additional access. There are many people at the gates who either pose as security or tourist police who will then try to sell you a tour or additional service. They can get aggressive; simply ignore them. The desert where the pyramids are located are actually littered with garbage and camel secretions so do be mindful of where you step. Similarly, do bring water and a hat as there is no shade or places to buy water after the entrances. All in all, it might sound overwhelming, but take everything with a grain of salt. Don't let people upset you. Simply smile and enjoy the pyramids yourself if you don't need their services. This is a wonderful opportunity and one of the best part is when you find yourself alone next to the pyramids.
