A road crosses the desert plateau, a few vehicles in front of the three pyramids.

Giza · Giza plateau

The new access to the Giza plateau

A visitor centre, electric shuttles and the end of the horse touts.

€€ Mid-range

The plateau has been reorganised: entry through a single visitor centre, electric shuttles between the pyramids, food and shops grouped together. The change targets the site's historic nuisance — commercial harassment — and completely alters how you visit.

The extra bit

Take the shuttle to the panoramic viewpoint and walk back down: the best order.

Know before you go

Tickets are bought online and prices changed with the reorganisation: check before coming.
