Day 2: Ancient wonder of the world Giza Pyramids


We started our day early with breakfast at 8am then we continue our self-exploring to the Giza plateau with some difficulty at the beginning even thou the entrance is just next to the hotel
but there are so many locals queuing up and then locals trying to help tourist get in easily and demanded a high tips which we need to be more alerts and careful.
Once we get in then we stroll slowly towards the sphinx and took many photos with the famous Egyptian sphinx which show the face of Egypt pharaoh and to us it is like the majestic lion guarding the pyramids.
After the sphinx (number 5) then we walk slowly up to the pyramids of Khafre (number 1). From Khafre then we walk across the little road and about 200meters to the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Khufu (number 6).
We didn’t brought the tickets to go into the tombs as we missed this at the tickets counter and there are no selling counter around the pyramids.
BTW we chat with some of the tourist on the tickets and they advise that we may skip it as there are nothing inside the pyramids as the whole tomb is already excavated and now at the Egyptian museum.
Anyway to avoid further disappointment we engage a horse cart to go around the pyramids and..
also took an amazing awesome pyramids panoramic view from a best location far at the desert which can reach by camel or horse cart.
We spend almosta full day at the Giza plateau by walking down slowly towards the entrance and also took some sunset photos of sphinx before ending our tour self-exploration at a local KFC.
