Day 2 (Morning) Best Half-Day Tour Route for the Pyramids

🗺️ Optimal Timeline (Tested Smooth Version): The Great Sphinx & Great Pyramid of Khufu — Pyramid View Restaurant — Nine Pyramids Viewpoint — Pyramid of Khafre 1. The Great Sphinx (8:00 AM) • How to enjoy: The morning sunlight perfectly illuminates the face of the statue, making it the golden time for photos! Be sure to walk to the side to capture the classic angle of the Sphinx and the pyramids in the same frame. 2. Great Pyramid of Khufu (8:30 AM) • How to enjoy: A short walk from the Sphinx, feel the awe of the massive stones; close-up shots are best. Tips❗️: Enter from the South Gate to see both at once, not from the New Visitor Center gate (saves a ride on the green shuttle bus)【P6～P10】 3. Pyramid View Restaurant Breakfast (9:30 AM) * How to enjoy: A place where you can enjoy both delicious food and stunning views, highly recommended! The "9 Pyramids Lounge" we visited is the only restaurant inside the scenic area that faces all nine pyramids directly! Tips❗️: Breakfast must be reserved in advance, with two options: Western Breakfast 540 EGP; Egyptian Breakfast 510 EGP. The food is decent, but the view is absolutely spectacular【P11～P13】 4. "Nine Pyramids" Panoramic Viewpoint (11:30 AM) * How to enjoy: You can go directly from the restaurant to this most famous viewpoint, capturing the magnificent panorama of all nine pyramids spread across the desert. Tips❗️: Most people ride camels or horse carriages here, but you can actually ask the shuttle bus driver to stop nearby and walk a few minutes to reach it【P1～P3】 5. Pyramid of Khafre & Pyramid of Menkaure (12:30 PM) * How to enjoy: The Pyramid of Khafre still retains its original limestone casing at the top, which is a unique photo feature. You can admire it from afar or touch it up close. This is the perfect last stop in the pyramid area【P4～P5】 💡 Core Tips: - Finish around 1 PM; remember to bring plenty of water, as the desert makes you feel thirsty very quickly~ - The weather in Egypt in November is quite pleasant, just right and not too hot~ - Tickets 🎫 750 EGP per person; student discount is half price but you must bring a physical student ID - The shuttle bus inside the scenic area is very convenient and fast; don’t be fooled into thinking you can only use camel/horse rides!!! (That’s just to make you spend more money) Following this route, the itinerary is well-paced, allowing you to experience history up close while capturing the perfect panoramic views, making for a fully satisfying experience!💫
