Tourism in Egypt is at an all time low because of recent political and civil disruption so we wanted to take advantage of a rare opportunity to see some of the sights without them being overrun with tourists.

If you're going to Egypt, you have to see this one. Just do it, you will not regret it. Make sure you have a good guide who can give you the specs and history about it.

This is something you really have to see. Just ignore all the people trying to sell you stuff and you´ll be ok.

This was the first opportunity I've had to visit Khafre's pyramid and I was very interested to do so. It's not such a climb as the Great Pyramid, but still a great place to visit. So good to see it open again!

Size was awe inspiring. Pity about the hawkers. The fact that I spoke Arabic was a relief. I didn't go inside.

Great dedication by a son to his father to build a smaller pyramid for himself! The small, limestone facing at the top hints at what it was like when built...smooth and glistening white!

Go there if you like Egypcian history. Getting inside of the pyramids it´s something you will never forget. Note: You can not take pictures inside.
