It looks cool, especially up close. The idea that she is 4500 years old is even somehow depressing. To climb inside - you have to be ready for a long ascent bent double.
It's beautiful, but everywhere there is waste from camels, the prices for souvenirs are high. And besides the pyramids, there's nothing to see. And it's very hot
According to information from a super-duper reliable source:
"The first thing that catches your eye, or rather in the nose))))) It's the smell of manure.
There are a lot of camels there, which create these flavors everywhere.
The second is actually camels again. If you want to ride them, be ready to pay a tidy sum separately and for getting off it!
Third, if you want to enter the pyramid, then get ready for a musty smell, a stuffy, narrow staircase corridor, along which you need to go down and up in a half-bent state for quite a long distance.
You can't change your mind, because there will also be people behind you and they are unlikely to agree to turn back for you, and it's not realistic to bypass them because of the narrow space."
I took 3 stars for 3 "joints".
I propose to the governor of the glorious Vladimir region at a regional referendum to propose to the citizens to build a "Pyramid of Vladimir" with a wonderful smell (we change camels to Vladimir heavy trucks and Shetland ponies (it can carry cargo 20 times its own weight), with wide stairways and high-speed elevators with chairs made of genuine leather.

I woke up in a tomb a few days ago, 5 stars were well preserved, by the way, what year is it now?
If you've been to Egypt but didn't go to the pyramids, then you haven't been to Egypt. The only thing is a very exhausting tour.
Of course, it is advisable to go to Cairo for two days and walk quietly through the pyramids, if you take a package for more than an hour and a half, no one will give you, because there are still traffic jams and so on.
A crowd of people, all the locals that are there, have a goal to make money on you, show you how to take pictures, show you how to approach, show the best photos, go with you, let you into the pyramid and so on, there are a lot of options🤣🤣🤣🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
If you want camels or a carriage, clearly state the price and what you are paying for.
There are handlers at the entrance, take a taxi immediately from the hotel to the ticket office. Don't settle for camels and horses, everything costs a penny there!
The only thing that was built a long time ago. Nothing else attracts you. A pile of stones.

I was there in early December 2023. I liked it, but it was a very long and tedious road, 10 hours from Sharm el Sheikh.
From a distance, the pyramids look like small gray toy pyramids. And when the sun falls, they look like anniversary cookies in color). And up close, what huge blocks!
We were with a friend in the vicinity of Cairo, in particular - in Giza, as if "in a previous life" (in 2001)! I was shocked by the view of the pyramids (they are just really HUGE and majestic, some of their stones are larger than a man's height), and the view down on the city from their foot... I was lucky, and I was able to visit even inside one of the pyramids: it was scary to go down the wooden floors through narrow tunnels and there was not enough air... But they warned that it was dangerous, and that alarmists, hypertensive patients and ... "psychos" like me.. But I don't regret it - now I remember it with pleasure! PS And the locals who offered camels as transport did not bother at all...

A very good pyramid!!! It's just the best practical armor
If you are planning to visit the pyramids,
miserable mortals, tremble! Or at least be extremely careful. There are no traps here, like in Indiana Jones... But...
Hungry Bedouins are waiting for you here, who are trying to rob you at every fucking step! It is impossible to devote yourself to the contemplation of ancient relics when another dirty Arab yells at you from his camel: "HELLO, MY FRIEND!! Hey!! EEEEEEE!! STOP IT!!! WHERE ARE YOU FROM! Hey! EEEEEEE! MY FRIEND! DO YOU WANT TO RIDE A CAMEL?! GOOD PRICE!!"
They hide in every hole (literally), waving their hands, inviting you to join in watching this NICE PLACE for just $15-50. Although in fact, everything is free here, except climbing the pyramids (prison or heavy fines) and visiting the inner locations of the Great Pyramid (400 Egyptian pounds).
So let the ancient Gods punish them and the Egyptian government, which allowed this madness, because it is, like, PART OF the NATIONAL CULTURE. Back in 2018, they planned to expel all this filth from the territory of the pyramids, but who is still there. A harnessed horse. For just $50, MY FRIEND. And only because you are Russian and not American.
They are really everywhere! Even in the toilet at the entrance to the pyramid complex, you will be greeted by some strange shabby type of "Hello! Welcome my friend!" Where to go, to the toilet?))
But in fact, this place was originally cursed, because the direct heirs of the pharaohs began to throw away the mummies of their parents and rob the tombs immediately after the burial ceremonies))
