All of the Pyramids are awesome and amazing to see. It is hard to believe that those 2 ton stones were moved by humans!

Any visit to Cairo must include a trip to the pyramids. Well worth it at any cost, one could actually go inside the second one though the walk down, bent over, was tiring for this 68 year old.

It feels really special to be in the resonance of the King's chamber and as there weren't big crowds, we got to stay a while inside, which I found really very special. It's a bit of a climb, but so worth it!

A must-see if you are visiting. This place just blows the mind. During the day you just wanna visit and leave, but towards evening you wanna sit around and just watch.

I was there eight times in ten years, it is so hard to take time for meditation or stay longer inside, but if you feel the place you take it with you deep in heart. Go only one time, you will be surprise.Acient exsist in air. With imaginations your feelings grow up.

When walking around Gizeh, the most stories will be about Keops pyramid. It will be just one of sites, a traveler will see in Egypt, a wonderful country with great history.

It's amazing to see these wonders. Camel owners are a bit pushy but bargain hard and it's a great experience to hop on a camel! Go inside one of the pyramids if possible.

The most oft asked question is "how did they build this?" and rightly so. It is obviously one of the "must sees" for any trip to Egypt.
