Great Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
There are quite a few good pyramids in this part of Egypt, but the Great Pyramids of Giza really do live up to their name. It would be unforgivable to go anywhere near Cairo and miss seeing them in person, and thanks to an endless army of tour guides and touts, skipping this short trip is much more challenging than actually going through with it. Since about 99% of the photos you’ll ever see of the pyramids and the Sphinx are taken from the same side, most people assume they are located well out into a barren desert, but in reality they are right on the edge of the huge city of Giza, which is just across the Nile from Cairo. You can clearly see them from the freeway as you approach, and there are fast food restaurants located just outside the entrance.
Visiting the pyramids can be done effectively in half a day or so, especially since they are located only about 25 kilometers from central Cairo. When you get to Cairo you’ll be relentlessly harassed by touts who will offer to arrange a driver or guide for you and hook you up with other area sights and tours. Fortunately these tours are usually cheap and legitimate, but the process of choosing one can be maddening. Prefab tours also leave from some Cairo hotels each morning for those who prefer to be part of a larger group.
