Tips

Where: Located on the east side of the Pyramids of Giza, this entrance is in front of the Sphinx. Look for Pizza Hut!
Best for: Entry to the Sound & Light Show, usually less crowded than the Great Pyramid Entrance. It’s also a different perspective from the usual one if you are interested in photography. While the interiors of the pyramids are not accessible to visitors with limited mobility, there is a ramp leading to this entrance, meaning you can get quite close to the structures.
Wait time: 30-40 minutes at peak time.
Close to: The Sphinx and the Queen’s chamber
Pro tip: Getting to the Great Pyramid, the panoramic spot and other monuments is an uphill climb of up to 3 km from this entrance. Use the other entrance to minimize the uphill walk.
