The distance between Cairo and Giza is 10 km. The road distance is 8.1 km. #pyramids #egypt

With 1 full day in Cairo, of course the pyramids are my first stop. Oh & picture or it didn’t happen! The pyramids are located 15km from the city center of Cairo. If you think they look impressive in photographs, wait till you’re standing at the foot of one of the pyramids! Business Hours: 7:00 - 18:00 Arrive early to purchase your ticket (starting at $10) Be prepared to spend at least 3 hours inside. Recommended visiting time: October to March (Winter) Once inside you can see the Pyramid of Khufu, Pyramid of Khafre, The Great Sphinx, Pyramid of Menkaure, Cemeteries, Tombs and Temples. There is A LOT to see, learn and photograph. Activities available inside are quad biking, horse riding, Camel rides, guided tours etc.. carry some $1 notes for tipping if that’s your thing. There are many souvenir stores all around the place but you will need to know how to bargain because the prices are hiked up as it is a tourist spot. Recommendation: go inside (walk) see all you need to see then save the activities for the end. Wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses for your own health and safety. Once done, we went over to a local family restaurant and tried some local cuisine namely: Koshary. It’s a must try! #egypt #Pyramids ##gizapyramid ##egyptshots #localguides #freehotelstay

Cairo is filled with so much in one city ! Of course you need to see the great #Pyramids of Giza ! Book a small hotel across from them for the best view. I stayed at the Egypt pyramids Inn and enjoyed my stay. Make sure you have a local guide. They can customize much more for you and give you a more authentic experience. The new museum was really cool ! Be aware that as a tourist many of locals will invite you to shop, be clear about what you interested in buying so you don’t waste time being haggled into shopping. I went to the local perfume and oil shop and it was very nice but very expensive FYI. Overall there no place like Cairo ! #pyramidsofgiza #Cairo #egypt #Kingtut #historicallandmarks #solotravel

Visiting the Giza Pyramids in Egypt was an absolute dream come true. As I stood in awe before these ancient marvels, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder for the incredible craftsmanship and rich history they embody. This is the last of the seven wonders of the Old world still standing today. ✨Top 5 Tips: 1️⃣ Consider visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and enjoy the pyramids in a more serene atmosphere. 2️⃣ Hire a knowledgeable local guide who can provide historical and cultural insights about the pyramids and help navigate the site. 3️⃣ Be prepared for vendors and touts who may approach you offering souvenirs or camel rides.

#giza #pyramids #hotel #cairo The complex is located on the edge of the Western Desert, about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 kilometers (8 miles) southwest of downtown Cairo. The site (along with the neighboring city of Memphis) was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are among the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they were historically popular as symbols of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination. They became famous in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was included by the Greek poet Antipater as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. They are by far the oldest and only surviving ancient wonders of the world. And the pyramids, according to one of the hypotheses, are royal tombs, each of which bears the name of the king who built it and was buried in it. Then it developed to take the form of a step pyramid by the engineer Imhotep, the minister of the pharaoh and King Djoser in the Third Dynasty. This was followed by two attempts by King Senefru, founder of the Fourth Dynasty, to build a complete hierarchical form. However, the backs of the two pyramids are not correct in shape, and they are located in Dahshur. One of them has a flattened base, and the other has a smaller shape, about half the size of the first. The engineer, Hemayuno, the architect of King Khufu, was able to achieve the ideal pyramidal shape, and he built the pyramid of Khufu in Giza on an area of ​​13 acres, and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure followed.

#bucketlist #Honeymoon #Pyramids Wow wow wow what an experience. The great pyramids of Giza, are in Giza on the outskirts of cairo. They are the most famous pyramids in Egypt,I couldn’t believe I was there. We had an awesome day, we walked for hours, but you can take a horse and cart or camel if you don’t want to walk. Don’t forget to take drinks with you if you go because there are no shops only people selling souvenirs

This trip has always been on our bucket list. Have you ever seen something in so many text books and movies and then have that awkward feeling of realisation that you’re actually standing right in front of it? We did with the Pyramids. As one of Egypt’s iconic archaeological sites, the Giza Pyramid complex (including the Sphinx) is a must for anyone in this world. What made it even more special for us, is exploring this on a camel (first time camel riding)! Whilst in Cairo, we also visited the Egyptian museum and the Papyrus Institute. The trip also featured a trip on the Nile on a felucca (a traditional Egyptian wooden boat) and a lunch on the Nile on a floating restaurant. We traveled from Sharm El-Sheikh by bus (27 hours in total) and it was 100% worth it! #bucketlist #bucketlistadventures #cairoegypt #egypt #cairomuseum #traveltheworld #travelwithus #pyramidsofgiza #pyramids #sphinx #dreamcometrue

The best one day trip I had since a long time in my life. Book yourself for a one day private tour around Cairo (€100 for 2 people) with pyramid viewing (tickets to buy separately) to begin with. Book yourself in the a hotel with the pyramids view. Wake up in the morning enjoy your breakfast on a balcony with the Great Sphinx and the pyramids just in front of you. After breakfast you will be picked up from your hotel by your private tour guide and your driver.A must do is to make sure you find the trip with a quad safari around the pyramids desserts afterwards. Get around Cairo and stop in a few shops and the museums of Papyrus paper. Have a lunch in one of the best local restaurants to finish off this short but adventurous day in Cairo before you move in the evening on a flight to the Red Sea. #the great Sphinx of Giza#sphinx#cairo#one day in Cairo#pyramids #giza Pyramids

Being that much closer to the pyramids is a breathtaking moment that everybody should experience once in their life time. oh yeah, me and that horse is a love story 😂. At some point I literally didn't want to get off. I spent exactly 2 hours riding it around the pyramids. And at end the i had to pay quit a price for it 😂. it was worthy though, You Only Live Once so enjoy the moment while you can! #egypt #pyramids #gizapyramid #cairo #africa #horseriding #awesomemoment #goodmoment #ctrip #awesomepic

The pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx need no introduction. The only survivor of the 7 wonders of the ancient world the pyramids over 4600 years old. A visit to Giza should be on everyone’s bucket list. These ancient wonders are truly breathtaking to behold. The weather in Egypt is pretty much sunny all year around so it can be a great destination for some winter sun and ancient cultural discoveries. #getgoing2025 #egypt #pyramids #sphinx #giza

Great place to visit Egypt pyramids a wonderful place #egypt #pyramids

A trip of a lifetime, amazing history & culture #egypt #pyramids

Cairo is a city where history comes alive at every turn. As the gateway to ancient Egypt, it’s home to the iconic Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, offering a breathtaking glimpse into a civilization thousands of years old. The bustling streets of Cairo are filled with the sounds and sights of daily life, from the vibrant Khan El Khalili market to the historic mosques of Islamic Cairo. The Egyptian Museum, with its treasures like King Tutankhamun's mask, is a must-visit. Despite the city's hustle, there's a warmth in its people and a timeless charm in its blend of ancient and modern.#egypt #cairo #pyramids

#cherryblossom2024 The pyramids of Egypt fascinated travellers and conquerors in ancient times and continue to inspire wonder in the tourists, mathematicians, and archeologists who visit, explore, measure, and describe them. Tombs of early Egyptian kings were bench-shaped mounds called mastabas. Around 2780 BCE, King Djoser's architect, Imhotep, built the first pyramid by placing six mastabas, each smaller than the one beneath, in a stack to form a pyramid rising in steps. This Step Pyramid stands on the west bank of the Nile River at Sakkara near Memphis. Like later pyramids, it contains various rooms and passages, including the burial chamber of the king #pyramids #egypt #

One of the World Wonders!!! Absolutely Amazing when you hear the history and how the Pyramids were build. The Pyramid is the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Pyramid was build 26th century BC over a period of 27 Years. Materials that were used to build the Pyramids; Limestone, mortar, granite. Definitely worth a visit to see for yourself. It's hot but seeing one of the wonders makes it worth it. The Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza are about an hour drive from Cairo Airport. I would suggest to sleep at a hotel close to the Pyramids and then move to Cairo to explore the market and restaurants there. #worldwonder #pyramids #giza #travel_2023 #awesomepic #history #summervacation

This place you should visit. It is so beautiful and fantastic. If you would like to see the big view of Pyramid, I recommend you to ride the camel outside of the pyramid because you can see the whole picture. This place suits with people who like to take picture and don’t fear with the camel😅. It is quite adventure. I recommend you to wear sun glasses because you might face with grain of sand from desert. #mytripvlog #egypt #pyramids

Beautiful breakfast in front of the pyramids of giza #celebratewithtrip #egypt #pyramids #sunnyholidays
