It was a unique experience for us to see this live. Our son was very enthusiastic. The crowd was rather normal early (8:30). From midday onwards it gets fuller and you have to drink a lot and be careful, which I didn't like but I knew beforehand, the pushiness of the locals. The nice thing is that at the Pyramids Visitor Center (new entrance on the west side) buses take you to the points free of charge and you can simply get on or off. Otherwise it was a very nice, unique family experience.

After a misunderstanding when I placed my order on the website, the company did everything possible to meet my expectations. Exceptional day with my 2 children. The driver, Mohamed, was really attentive and very kind, and the guide, Reda, was a super guide who gave us lots of information, took great photos of us and was very dynamic, smiling and laughing a lot. I recommend this experience by headout

Great tour. Redah is a very good guide who adapts very well to the language. He was accompanied by his driver Ahmed who is also very friendly. We had a great time. I'd recommend it.

As a first-time visitor and solo female traveler to Egypt, I was excited but also a bit nervous about checking out tourist attractions like the Giza pyramids or the Khan El Khalili market. I was thrilled to find a tour aimed at solo female travelers. From the moment I met my guide, Samaa, I felt completely at ease. She was punctual, friendly, super knowledgeable about Cairo, and it was easy to communicate with her in English. We kicked off the tour by visiting the Giza pyramids, which lasted about 3 hours and involved a lot of walking in the scorching desert sun. We had the option to go inside one of the pyramids or take a camel ride. I chose the camel ride. Samaa was with me the whole time (except for the short camel ride) and was quick to offer tips on how to handle vendors who approached us and how to navigate the area. After that, we enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant, then headed to the Egyptian Museum and the market. At the market, Samaa took us to a shop with fixed, affordable prices and helped me snag some souvenirs that were almost out of stock—she’s truly the best tour guide! I highly recommend this tour, especially for solo travelers.

What’s inside the Pyramids of Giza?

Interior stonework of Queen Meritetis I's Pyramid, Giza Necropolis, Cairo, Egypt.

The King’s Chamber

At the heart of the Great Pyramid lies the King’s Chamber, constructed from massive red granite blocks transported over 500 miles from Aswan. Here stands Khufu’s empty sarcophagus—its missing lid fueling debates about whether it was looted or symbolic. Visitors often remark on the chamber’s acoustics; even a whisper can reverberate like a chant, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that adds to its aura of mystery.

More about the Pyramids of Giza

The Queen’s Chamber

Smaller and lined with limestone, the Queen’s Chamber has long puzzled Egyptologists. Some suggest it housed Khufu’s spirit double, while others think it was never meant for a burial at all. A distinctive niche carved into one wall hints at a ritualistic or symbolic function. Modern scans even suggest hidden passageways might still exist behind its sealed blocks.

The Grand Gallery

The Grand Gallery is a breathtaking corridor that rises steeply toward the King’s Chamber. Measuring 153 feet long and nearly 28 feet high, it’s supported by corbelled stonework that still stuns engineers today. The walls contain mysterious slots, possibly once used to hold beams or ceremonial objects. Walking through this soaring passage is a highlight for every visitor—it feels like stepping into the architectural mind of ancient Egypt.

The Subterranean Chamber

Carved directly into the bedrock beneath the pyramid, the Subterranean Chamber is rough, unfinished, and eerie. Its purpose remains unknown—was it an abandoned burial plan or a symbolic connection to the underworld? Though not always open to the public due to restoration, its very existence fuels speculation about Khufu’s architectural ambitions.

Air shafts and secret passages

From both the King’s and Queen’s Chambers, small shafts run diagonally toward the pyramid’s exterior. Some align with Orion and Sirius, reflecting ancient Egyptian star worship. Robotic explorers have found stone blocks and iron fittings deep inside these shafts, adding yet another layer of mystery to what lies beyond.

Hidden chambers

In 2017, advanced scanning techniques revealed a massive hidden void above the Grand Gallery. Though inaccessible to visitors, guides often share this discovery during tours. It’s a reminder that even after centuries of study, the Great Pyramid still guards secrets within its limestone core.

Solar boat pits

Around Khufu’s pyramid are deep pits once holding giant wooden boats, believed to carry the pharaoh into the afterlife. The most famous, the Khufu Solar Boat, was discovered intact and has been painstakingly restored. Though no longer beside the pyramid, it’s now on display at the Grand Egyptian Museum nearby—a must for history lovers.

Mason marks and worker graffiti

Unlike richly decorated tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the pyramid’s interiors are stark and undecorated. But above the King’s Chamber, in the relieving chambers, archaeologists found red-ochre graffiti—inscriptions left by worker gangs. These humble marks are rare and priceless proof that the pyramid was built not by slaves but by organized Egyptian laborers.

Frequently asked questions about what’s inside the Pyramids of Giza

What is inside the Pyramids of Giza?

Inside Khufu’s Great Pyramid, you’ll find a series of chambers, steep passageways, shafts, and even unfinished chambers carved in bedrock. There are no treasures or hieroglyphic art left—the interiors are stark, letting the architecture itself take center stage.

Can I go inside the pyramids?

Yes. Visitors can enter the pyramids with a separate ticket for each interior, along with a Giza complex site pass. Entry numbers are limited daily, so booking in advance is strongly advised.

What are the must-see highlights inside?

The King’s Chamber, the soaring Grand Gallery, and the subterranean chamber are the main highlights. If open, Menkaure’s pyramid also offers smaller burial niches worth exploring.

Do I need a ticket to go inside?

Yes, a separate interior ticket is required in addition to your site entry. You can purchase them here.

Can I take pictures inside?

Photography rules change often. At times, it’s allowed for an extra fee, and at other times it’s restricted to protect the site. Always check signage at the entrance.

Is there a dress code?

No strict dress code applies, but visitors are advised to wear light, breathable clothing and sturdy shoes. Expect crouching through low tunnels and climbing steep passages.
