Giza Necropolis

"The Giza Necropolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to some of the most iconic ancient monuments in the world, including the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx 🏛️. This remarkable complex stands as a testament to Egypt's rich history and architectural prowess. Constructed during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom (around 2580–2560 BC) 🗓️, the Giza Pyramids were built as monumental tombs for Pharaohs. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest and most famous, originally standing at 146.6 meters (481 feet) 📏. The Sphinx, with its lion's body and pharaoh's head 🦁👑, adds to the mystique of this ancient site. Entrance fees for the Giza Necropolis typically range from 200 EGP for Egyptians and 400 EGP for foreign visitors 💰. Additional fees apply for entering specific pyramids or the Solar Boat Museum. It's wise to budget around 500-700 EGP for a full day here, including potential guide fees. Working Hours: The site is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM 🕒, with extended hours during the summer months. Ticket Prices: - Giza Necropolis entrance: 400 EGP (foreigners) 🌍, 200 EGP (Egyptians) 🇪🇬 - Inside the Great Pyramid: 300 EGP (additional fee) While there are no dining options directly within the necropolis, nearby cafes and restaurants offer delicious local cuisine 🍽️. I recommend trying: - Koshari: A hearty mix of rice, lentils, and pasta topped with tomato sauce and fried onions 🍚. - Falafel: Crispy, flavourful chickpea balls served with tahini sauce 🌱. - Mint Tea: A refreshing drink perfect for the warm desert climate 🍵. Visiting the Giza Necropolis is a journey through time that should not be missed! I love standing before the majestic pyramids, feeling the weight of history in the air, and soaking in the incredible views 🌅. It’s truly a bucket-list experience! 🌟✨ "

"It’s definitely an experience, the pyramids after all are one of the 7 wonders. We did have an amazing guide Abdo, who I can recommend with a full trust. My suggestion is, always have a trustworthy guide, otherwise they will make you pay double or triple the price of everything. "
