The three pyramids of Giza come as the first item on your to-do list in Cairo, Egypt - we can see that right there - and this goes back to the history hidden inside this place along with those huge buildings built by the Pharaohs and which are believed to carry the bodies of the dead Pharaohs along with their belongings - since they appreciated the afterlife and thought about building huge tombs that would fit them and their personal things.

According to some studies done, it was found that there are more than 100 pyramid all over Egypt, those great three ones are the most famous and which are located next to Sakkara pyramid, so you could also check it out during the same trip. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlsFcP3EV0k)

Coming to the great pyramids of Giza, there are three to be found out there: Khufu which is also known as Cheops, Khafre which is called Chephren, and Menkaure which is known as Mykerinos, and beside these three pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx is placed and is one of those things that tourists care about taking pictures beside.

Being the biggest pyramid of those three, Khufu was the oldest pyramid and the one which was placed among the seven wonders of the ancient world and the only one to be still there until this day. With the different Pharaonic hands that helped in bringing this pyramid to life, it is believed that it took them 20 years for it to be accomplished.

Pharaoh Khufu believed in the afterlife and thought about building a huge tomb that would fit his body after death as well as the different belongings he want to take with him. Getting inside the tomb is a whole different experience because you will have to walk with your back bent until you reach an empty room that is believed to be the tomb; it might be a little disappointing for some people that they don't see much, but at least they go through the experience of getting inside the pyramid and see the walls and the things written on them from the inside.

The two other pyramids might be viewed as the same thing but with different sizes and people are allowed to get inside them but there will not experience something different if they managed to get inside Khufu pyramid. In front of the second pyramid, Khafre, the Sphinx is found and some studies say that it was placed there in order to protect Khafre pyramid, not just that, but it is also believed to represent the Pharaoh Khafre.

The pyramids entrance fee differ according to whether you are going to enter the pyramid from the inside or not and this will almost cost 100 Egyptian pounds for the foreigners to enter the pyramid in addition to the 60 Egyptians pounds they will pay for entering the area of the pyramids in general. The working hours start from 7 AM until 5 PM but those tickets related to the pyramids are limited and you might not get the chance to enter any of them, so if you are planning to, try to come early to the place.

Those pyramids are lit at night especially if there is any event there, since concerts are done sometimes at this place especially for the celebrities coming from abroad. The most important thing about the night life in this area of the pyramids is the light and sound show which could be a different experience to go through in Cairo, Egypt.

The amazing things that we encounter and which are related to the Pharaonic time take us by surprise; we get surprised from the amount of work they have done and always leave the place wondering how they managed to build huge things and how much time they took, which are also related to things found in Luxor and Aswan.

To see how the Pharaohs used to do some crafts and get more introduced to their life, you could visit the Pharaonic village in Giza which is all about a tour through the canals by a boat that passes through different people who are dressed like the Pharaohs and who show you how crafts were done through acting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-37RebZugmc). There is also the tomb of Tutankhamun which is considered an attraction for tourists in this village (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgTMDKL0xDg).

You could also visit other tourist attractions like the Egyptian Museum, Cairo tower, and you could visit the downtown area along with its landmarks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zlUl2rMTVo).
