It is impossible to describe! An unreal sense of greatness and awareness of history. So much has happened to humanity, and they are worth it))) when you think that these stones were touched by people who lived many hundreds of years ago.....
One of the seven wonders of the world! It looks impressive, I dream of seeing this architectural creation live!
The Pyramid of Cheops is the largest structure ever built by mankind!
A lifelong impression.
Truly a wonder of the world. Monumental, ancient.
Caution: do not take anything from local sellers /vagrants - you will have to pay.
The pyramids are huge! Of course, everyone has read about this wonder of the world, but still, it's amazing. Even from the plane, when landing in Cairo, they look big. Well, as for the fact that the stones are fitted very tightly, I did not know at all. The pyramid is placed on a platform of VERY smooth and fitted stones. Blocks - more than 2.5 million. According to scientists, was it built in 20 years?! For 3 months a year (when the Nile floods and the population is engaged in agriculture)!? By the way, mummies, drawings and things typical of tombs were not found in the pyramids. What's it? Who did this? Why were shells found in the cracks between the stones on the tops? A miracle. :)
All my childhood I saw this wonder of the world, only in pictures and on the TV screen, well, I had a chance to see it with my own eyes, I was amazed at the scale of these pyramids
Having stood for thousands of years, it still causes admiration and surprise. I like the hypothesis that the pyramid is a communication device with our ancestors who came from distant stars!
I recommend to everyone that you only need to fly by plane if you will take an aftobus, it is very very tedious, it took 48 hours to travel back and forth from sharma
The dream has come true since school, it is very difficult to describe in words, I recommend seeing everything for yourself, and inside too, two but, these are the ubiquitous Bedouins, well, or whatever they are, we pass by without paying attention, and at the entrance immediately find out what you can bring, what you can not
My childhood dream is to visit here. And obviously even for children.: This is not a tomb. And it could not have been built by the primitive means of the ancient Egyptians.
The pyramids are simply amazing in their scale! Huge, powerful buildings! And this is done by 5 thousand people. Years ago! Yes, many people were still living in dugouts at that time! In general, it's incredible!
But about going inside, the pyramid of Cheops has been dismantled, but everything has been taken out of it for a long time and it is very rich in frescoes, it will be better and cheaper to visit other pyramids
Landmark historical sites. I am glad that I visited the pyramids and the Sphinx. There are a lot of tourists and locals around, it's unrealistic to get bored, but it's better not to mess with them at all and pass by, take advantage of the naivety of tourists
You definitely need to look at the first wonder of the world! I did not go inside because it is clear that all the most interesting things have long been taken out! But walking around and enjoying the beauty of the pyramids is a pleasure, which is spoiled from time to time by the locals!
The place is very cool and atmospheric. There are only a few disadvantages. If you came here just to take a picture and then say that I was near the pyramids, but in fact you are not interested in it at all, do not go. There are camels in one place behind the pyramid of Cheops. And this is the source of a not very good smell, so to speak. And so the view is very beautiful. And at every step there are men with the words: <Eh, BRO, LET'S RIDE A CAMEL> and so on. That's how it works for them- what you picked up = you bought, and they won't let up until you pay for it and take it. And their prices are not small there. They are trying to make money on you by any means.
By itself, this is an unnecessary pyramid that no one is watching at all, and this wants to make money. Only the Guide told us that some rich man wants to buy out the territory of the pyramids and do something with them. As it is, the place is very strange and interesting at the same time.
It is very beautiful and unusual. It was incredibly amazing what a person can create... These pyramids and the sphinx have been standing in the desert for more than 2 thousand years... And it's amazing, amazing and just shocking. So did the aqueducts of the Romans... Damn, these things cost so much time and will outlive us all.. They used to be able to build!)
The scale of the wonder of the world is exaggerated. It is very dirty and there is garbage everywhere. Everything is fast, even without a guide. But it's worth going there once in your life. And there is no atmosphere there that it was built by unearthly civilizations. It has long been discovered how these blocks were delivered.
A wonder of the world, a must when visiting Egypt. Even the presence of garbage, beggars, could not spoil the impression of the visit. In no case do not react to annoying Arabs who scurry around, brazenly demand money for any actions (show a place for a photo, conduct, and so on).
This is one of the wonders of the World! Do you see this every day? I think not. And I'm not. We did not travel here for 15 hours by bus, we made sure that our flight was with a transfer in Cairo - this is a cheat! Therefore, we visited the pyramids on our own, no one drove us from the bus, no one drove us to the bus, and only the best impressions remained. Is it impressive? I will answer - it is impressive! If you are morally ready to say "no" to everything that is irritatingly written about in other reviews (sellers of papyri, scarabs, camel riders, etc.), then you will not have any negative emotions at all! A little advice - if you come by yourself, come to the Northern entrance, and finish at the Southern One, the very center of camel driving and selling all the most valuable things. We were in the pyramids, although it seems that the prices are simply unrealistic, but! I was in the pyramid, I was next to the pyramids, I touched the pyramids - it's cool! They say that the pyramids are not being watched... Honestly, I can't even imagine how to keep track of them, in my opinion they are so huge that it is more of a natural monument and its preservation lies in the plane of protection from looting and destruction by vandals, and this is present there. My opinion is that we need to get to the pyramids! We need to look at them at least once! By the way, they are definitely not visible from space! We barely saw them from the plane on landing.
It is an unforgettable experience to see the wonder of the world, which is the only one left these days, goosebumps from the sight, from the touch of such energy is simply not real!
The largest pyramid from the Cairo pyramid complex.
You can climb up a few steps and take cool photos.
The size of each stone is impressive.
There are a lot of Egyptian gypsies who pester tourists if you answer them.
I am lowering my rating due to the fact that the guides give only half an hour to the proposed excursions at the hotel. It's not enough at all. Even just to look, to take a picture, not to mention to get inside. There is a small market near the sphinx. You can travel by camel, by horse cart, for an additional fee, there is no time to walk.

Of course, I went there for the pyramids. But since it was in July, it was very, very hot. We didn't walk for long. But I do not regret that I went. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun, otherwise you will burn out in 10 minutes. By the way, you still won't be able to go inside, you can just walk past and take a walk and admire.
Beauty is when you see a pyramid live with your own eyes. It was enough to climb into the pyramid for one time: a tunnel, a narrow ramp with the movement of people in both directions and almost no oxygen. But it's impressive! The guide takes you to his points for souvenirs, for photos with a normal view of the pyramids, you can ride a horse cart, on a camel or on horseback, for a dollar. I recommend an individual trip to Cairo of 5-7 people by minibus, faster and more comfortable with a small overpayment, compared to the bus.
These pyramids (including Cheops) These are the antennas of the universe! They are found in China, Mexico, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench on the Moon, Mars, Ceres, etc. Man himself could not have built this wonder of the world without the participation of extraterrestrial civilizations!

The place is gorgeous! But sooooo unlucky with the guide. Therefore, if possible, try to solve this problem on the shore, before leaving, or the road and the silent guide can blur all the impressions of what they saw!
One of the wonders of the world that must be seen with your own eyes!
And so around the pyramids there is a market with souvenirs and annoying sellers! Keep your ears sharp with them!!!
Yes, this review is not about Russia, but read it...Pyramids are cool, very much so. But I must say right away it's not as majestic as you expect or as in the pictures. But still, the pyramids are very cool and seriously it is not clear how the Egyptians dragged these stones, although they are 3-4 times smaller than expected

I do not advise pregnant women.
My dream was to visit this place. As a result, disappointment.
You enter the pyramid and immediately a tunnel appears 1 meter by one and a half meters (without normal steps). On semi-squats, you need to climb up this tunnel (about 20 meters).
There are the same people behind, so you won't be able to stop and rest.
Tired, I got up and got into a small room where it is insanely hot, there are heaters at + 55 degrees in this room. It's +30 outside. There is an empty tomb in this room and there is nothing else to see.
I want to stand and rest, but it doesn't work, because the room is quickly filled with people + stuffiness and I want fresh air.
And we find out that 1 is the input and this is the output🥲
It is necessary in this small tunnel to diverge from the people who are climbing. I don't have

The wonder of the world, what can I add? Can i... I do not recommend visiting the pyramid itself - an extremely dubious pleasure. For $35 per person, you won't see anything. Climbing to the top in the stuffiness and most of the way on the snags in the passage meter by meter (in this passage there is movement in both directions). Upstairs is a room of 20 m2, where the place from where the sarcophagus of Cheops was removed is located.
The area around the pyramid is not landscaped, traders and Bedouins scurry around with buy everything for $ 1 (deceived, information 100%). The queues are huge.
We got to the Pyramids from Sharm el Sheikh on our own, just by renting a car.It turned out to be difficult, since there are more than 500 km from the Charm to the Pyramids, and few people observe the traffic rules in Egypt. So when we arrived, we were pretty tired.The facilities are impressive.In general, the buildings of ancient civilizations are always interesting.But judging by the state, the state does not really care about them. And it is so interesting for lovers of history and antiquity.
The childhood dream of visiting the preserved and only old wonder of the world came true in 2023. A must-visit when visiting Egypt. We went to the heat in July , if March or November will be top
Pyramids are a story that you can touch, feel and even climb. With teenage children, this option is very good. You can get further away from tourists towards the distant pyramids and take a quiet walk. Take water, a snack and cover your head from the sun. Everyone be!
gorgeous.
It's worth visiting at least once in your life. Cons: it's a long drive if you're coming from Hurghada/Sharma. VERY nasty hucksters there. They cheat, beg for money, sell junk for $ 1, breed as they can. I didn't go inside the pyramids, but I read in the reviews, and our guide told us that there was nothing special to do there. Because they didn't give us much time, we walked around the pyramid and just took pictures. They don't let you climb on it, of course. Only in one place is there a special place for a photo.
