Standing in front of the Great Pyramid of Giza is a humbling experience. Dating back over 4,500 years, these monumental structures are masterpieces of ancient engineering. For the best experience, arrive early around 8:00 AM as gates open to beat the heat and the tour bus crowds. Hire an official camel or horse handler inside the plateau gates, or enjoy walking. Don’t miss the panoramic viewpoint located further back, perfect for capturing all three major pyramids in one photograph.
