Top Attractions in Giza
💡 Grab a mint tea at El Fishawy café inside the bazaar — it's a local institution and costs under 10 EGP. Haggling is expected, start at half the asking price.
💡 Combine with a walk through the neighbouring Coptic Cairo for free — check out the Hanging Church. Arrive before 10 AM for peace.
💡 Don't pay for a camel ride from touts. Walk to the panoramic viewpoint for the best selfie spot without the rip-off.
💡 Go for the sunset hour. The gardens are well-kept and less crowded than the main pyramid area. You can see the Great Pyramid lit up from here.
💡 Bring your own snacks — the on-site food is poor and overpriced. The best bit is the historic iron-and-glass orangery near the entrance.
