Creator's Key Takeaways

So, please, the one piece of advice is get to the pyramids as soon after opening as possible.

That's a heck of a view.

So, uh, frankly, until they've got a firm opening date that you can base travel around, I personally, that my opinion is you can fit in other more valuable things into your itinerary.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a private tour to tailor your itinerary and beat the crowds.
Arrive at the pyramids immediately after opening time (7:00 AM) to avoid heat and crowds.
Bring a change of clothing and deodorant for after the climb.
Carry small notes (cash) for tips to attendants looking to take photos.
Visit the Nine Pyramids Lounge for breakfast with a view before it gets busy.
Check the path by the Sphinx entrance for a framed photo with the pyramids behind.

Claustrophobia in the pyramid shaftBe aware that the ascent requires bending forward in a tight space; it gets busier and hotter later in the day.
Being hassled by vendorsExpect vendors and camel ride offers; having a private guide helps manage interactions.
Tipping cultureCarry small notes for photo attendants and tip guides accordingly to avoid pressure.
