The Basics
Giza is located on the western bank of the Nile River, near Cairo. The site is best known for the three massive pyramids: the Pyramid of Khufu (Great Pyramid), the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The Sphinx, a colossal statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, guards the pyramids. The Pyramids of Giza are part of a larger archaeological site that includes the Valley Temple and other smaller tombs. It is one of the most visited tourist sites in Egypt and continues to captivate millions each year with its awe-inspiring monuments.

Things to Know Before You Go
When visiting Giza, it’s important to wear comfortable shoes, as you will be walking on sand and uneven surfaces. The area can be hot, especially during the summer months, so be sure to bring sun protection like hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Photography is allowed, but be cautious of additional fees for closer access to the pyramids or special angles. Additionally, consider hiring a local guide to enrich your experience with detailed historical context about the site. Expect crowds, especially around midday, so try to arrive early to avoid the rush.
How to Get There
Giza is easily accessible from Cairo, about 30 minutes by car or taxi. Public transport options include the Cairo Metro, which has a station near the Giza district (Giza Station), though it requires a short taxi ride to reach the pyramids. You can also book a private tour or use a ride-hailing service like Uber or Careem for convenience. If you’re staying at a hotel in Cairo, most tour companies offer transportation to and from the site. For those looking for a more scenic option, camel or horse rides are available at the entrance to the pyramids, adding a unique twist to your visit.
When to Get There
The best time to visit Giza is early in the morning, just after sunrise, or later in the afternoon, before sunset. This not only helps you avoid the midday heat but also allows for stunning photos of the pyramids in the soft, golden light. The cooler months of November through March are ideal for sightseeing, while the summer months (June to August) can be extremely hot, especially during midday. Weekdays are usually less crowded than weekends, so aim to visit during the week if possible to enjoy a more peaceful experience.
Day Trips from Cairo
If you’re based in Cairo, a day trip to Giza is an easy and rewarding experience. Many local tour operators offer half-day or full-day trips that include transportation, a guide, and visits to the key sights, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Solar Boat Museum. Some tours may also include visits to nearby attractions like the Saqqara Step Pyramid or the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Giza is one of the most iconic places in Egypt, making it a must-see on any Cairo itinerary. Consider a sunset or camel ride tour to get a unique view of the pyramids.
