    When going to Cairo you have go to go & see the obvious tourist attraction the PYRAMIDS! You have to get to the pyramids early in the morning if you want to go inside as they only let about 200 people in each day, it costs around 100 Egyptian Pounds for tourists, you can book this in advance at your hotel & a driver will pick you up early morning in a limo & take you there & also any other places you would like to go. I have a very good friend in Egypt called Hossam who is an Egyptogist & will take you anywhere in Cairo in his Limo for a good price, he will not take you to all the places that are crowded with tourists, he will show you the real Egypt & the real people. Get in touch for more details if you would like to know more.

    The Giza pyramids tour is the first option for all the tourists in Cairo. You have to end the tour day with The Sound and Light Show. The show is about the Pharoonic Civilization of Egypt in Laser show and narated in some languages.The entrance will be located near the Sphinx`s gate and the laser show itself will be displayed on the sphinx and the three pyramids. The show will be opened by a march of 6-8 men with Pharaoh customs. It was a wierd march for me as the music kinda like Scotland pipe. The show is available in 7 languages : ENGLISH, ARABIC, JAPAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SPANISH, AND GERMAN. The show time will be different during winter and summer. IN WINTER, 1ST SHOW WILL BE AT 0630PM, SECOND AT 0730PM AND THE THIRD AT 0830PM. IN SUMMER, 1ST SHOW WILL BE AT 0730PM, SECOND AT O830PM, AND THE THIRD AT 0930PM. Even the English show seats won`t be occupied fully, so you may join the show 15minutes earlier. Be aware of the show`s languange! ENGLISH : 1st show on MONDAY,TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY,FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY.2nd show on THURSDAY. ARABIC : 3rd show on THURSDAY. JAPAN : 1st show on SUNDAY AND THURSDAY. FRENCH : 2nd show on SUNDAY, MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY.3rd show on TUESDAY. ITALIAN : 2nd show ON TUESDAY.3rd show on SATURDAY. SPANISH : 2nd show on SATURDAY. 3rd show on MONDAY. GERMAN : 3rd show on SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY. The entrance fee is 50LE (January 2007). You may rent a small blanket for 5LE on winter time. The best seat will be the front seats in a cafe inside the show complex. Well, you have to buy drink to seat there. You may watch it for free. Go to AL BADAWIYA COFFEE SHOP second floor, nearby the entrance gate of the show, next to Pizza HUT. You will just pay for the coffee.:-))Well, it is cheating actually. Get your ticket, you will be satisfied with their staff service and you do participate in making the better show for other visitors in the future.

    This is the place they found the statue of King Chephren/Kefran/whatever the spelling is for the one who built the second pyramid in Giza.:-))It is located in the entrance to the Sphynx area. They said you just make a wish and throw any money in that well. An other weird way to get more money from the tourists though.

    I am going to be honest. The pyramids are fake... no, no, he,he I just want to say I though the pyramids were bigger, actually they are HUGE. We can not imagine how many stones were needed to build the Keops Pyramid (the big one)... 2,300,000 stones from 2 to 10 tons (European tons), it is amazing. Egyptians carryed the stones even from Aswan, long, long trip by felluca.

    Giza Pyramids Sound/Light Show

    The Giza Pyramids' Sound and Light Show is definitely worth the $7 usd and it is not recommeded that you view it from the Pizza Hut window seats for free, as one guidebook suggests, b/c the view is inadequate and you get a better feel for the story when you're up close to the Sphinx, etc. It's already cheap, so don't cheat yourself to save a few dollars. Also, there's an extra $3-4 fee if you want to use a tripod during the show which is a must to achieve pictures like this one. The show is about 45 minutes and is given in three different languages so if you're only in Cairo for a couple days...arrange to see it right away so as to not miss out on your language of choice. :)

    The sphinx is not made of block stones. It is carved out for the living bedrock. It has a human head and lion body. It was under the sand for centuries, that kept the sphinx out from erosion. Most of the theories say the sphinx is 4500 year old. The nose and beard have been broken away. In between the paws of the sphinx is a stela with a legend on it.

    Out of the three Pyramids, the most famous is Pharaon Khufu (or better known with his Greek name – Cheops) pyramid, built more than 4.500 years ago, the first and the last one that survived from the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Great pyramid was initially 145.75 m high, but over the years lost 10 m of the top. The pyramid is made of more than 2 million blocks of stone, each weighing more than two tons.

    The second pyramid, Kephren's one, is the only one that still keeps on the top remains of the white stone that once covered entirely the pyramids. Going inside the pyramid it's an interesting experience, although if you expect to find something at the end of the narrow corridor going up and down, you will be disappointed. There's only an empty burial chamber... And you'll go out all wet. Entrance fee: LE 20- (USD 3.5) You cannot enter inside the pyramid with the camera.

    The Sphinx in the likeness of the king Chefren is a monolith standing in front of the Chefren’s pyramid as the guardian of the temple of the Sphinx (Chefren). This gigantic human-headed lion is 21 meters high and 73 meters long. The Sphinx’s head is 5 meters high and the defacement is clearly visible and was caused by the Mameluke cannons. There was also a false beard added by Thutmosis IV but it fell off and is now in the Cairo museum.

    Just outside of the Cairo city limits are the 3 greatest pyramids in Egypt. They were built by Pharaoh Khufu, his son and grandson. The Khufu pyramid, also known as Cheops, is 140 meters high and is made from over 2,300,000 blocks. The pyramid was completed in 2566 BC.
