We chose to embark on this adventure without a guide, and I honestly recommend doing so. It's true that a guide is helpful and, above all, provides detailed descriptions of the Giza complex, but I don't think one is necessary. Enjoying the view of the Pyramids, their interiors, and the Sphinx in their landscape context is an experience to be had with or without a guide. The route inside the museum is clear, and the descriptions of each individual piece on display are accurate and concise. We loved every single second spent among these wonders ❤️

We arrived at the pyramids early in the morning, which is highly recommended. By late morning, everything is completely overcrowded. You also have to be quick when visiting the interior of the Great Pyramid. We were lucky enough to be completely alone inside, but when we came out, there was already a huge line. Since the entrance and exit inside are very narrow, it is advisable to go inside the pyramid early in the morning.

My visit to the museum was truly wonderful. I was really impressed by how well-organized both the museum and the exhibitions were. The special section dedicated to King Tut was spectacular, and the Solar Boat Museum was absolutely enchanting and beautiful. Additionally, there are lovely spots to rest and enjoy a cup of coffee.

It was beyond fantastic! I read about Egyptology since I was about five years old, as soon as I could read, it was about mummies and king tut. And to see it in person was just an unbelievably wonderful experience. By the way, what did one sarcophagus say to the other sarcophagus? Don't call me mummy!

This combo ticket includes priority entry to both the Egyptian Museum and the Grand Egyptian Museum, giving you the ultimate journey through Egypt’s past and present discoveries.

Friendly and informative guides with a well laid out complex of buses and rest areas. No pressure to follow certain routes or timescales meant we could enjoy the day at our own pace.
