The Great Sphinx!! Just the name describes totally the experience! Except from the fact that it was a bit crowded, the scenery was majestic. A childhood dream came true, visiting both the Sphinx and the pyramids! 🙏

Amazing place but you must know that already. Ruined by the idiots and their animals, horses, donkeys and camels abused in horrendous heat and Conditions. Poor husbandry and many if the animals abused and/or carrying injuries. Constant barrage of 'guides' - all of whom are fake and just trying to fleece you. Ignore them, go against human kindness and just ignore them. OH, ITS FRICKIN' HOT, WEAR A HAT, SUNGLASSES, COOL CLOTHES THAT DONT CLING AND FACTOR 1,000.

Huge , unbelievable creation. Recommend to ride a horse or a camel because the pyramid complex area is few Sq/km wide. If you want to take nice pics like you are holding a pyramid by hand, you have to go way up to the sandy mountain side. And be careful from scammers.

Fantastic place to visit. Everyone should experience the pyramids at least once in their lives. You won't regret it and will cherish the memories forever. Do not be put off by stories you've heard. It is easier to visit with a guide, but at the very least, just do some basic research. Yes, there are a few scammers around, but nowhere nearly as many as made out and watching a couple of online videos should alert you to the tricks. Most people you meet are very friendly and helpful, and even the overzealous sellers at all the tourist sites are just trying to make a living. Just give them a no and be firm. Don't look if you don't want to buy. Above all, remember that you are visiting a major site in a foreign country. Don't be surprised or disappointed or angry when it's not like home. If you don't want to experience different cultures, then don't travel...

Visiting the Giza Necropolis is a truly awe-inspiring experience that deserves a 5-star rating. As you stand before the massive Pyramids of Giza, you can't help but be impressed by the engineering skill and architectural marvel of these ancient structures. The sheer scale of the pyramids is overwhelming, and it's humbling to think that they were built thousands of years ago. In addition to the pyramids themselves, the Giza Necropolis also includes the enigmatic Great Sphinx. This giant statue with the head of a human and the body of a lion is another fascinating piece of ancient Egyptian history. Exploring the necropolis grounds and learning about the pharaohs buried there is a journey back in time. While there can be some hassles with vendors and limited signage, the overall experience of visiting the Giza Necropolis is unforgettable. Hiring a knowledgeable guide can help you appreciate the significance of this historical site. Make sure to dress comfortably for the hot desert sun and bring plenty of water. Overall, a visit to the Giza Necropolis is a must-do for any traveler interested in history, archaeology, or simply marveling at the wonders of the ancient world. It's a place that will leave you with a lasting impression. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
