The guide to the best addresses in Egypt

Egypt at your fingertips

What a guide should dare to say

Giza Plateau

The only one of the seven ancient wonders still standing. Arrive at opening.

The extra bit

The postcard panorama is from the south-west mound, where the three pyramids line up. It's included in the ticket and almost nobody walks up early.

Know before you go

A separate, limited ticket is required for the inside of the Great Pyramid: buy it online the day before. Hat, two litres of water and closed shoes are essential. For a camel or horse: total price, duration and drop-off point agreed out loud BEFORE mounting, payment on return.
