🇪🇬 Latest Pyramid Guide｜NEW Entrance & FREE Shuttle Bus!

Planning to see the Pyramids in Egypt? You MUST read this!! Major updates have been made to the entrance, tickets, and transportation — making the experience much better. No more scams or endless walking! 🚶‍♀️➡️😊 1️⃣ Navigation & Entrance 📍 Use this exact location for taxis: Pyramids Visitor Centre (NEW main entrance) ❗ North Gate (near Mena House) is CLOSED ❌ — avoid going there! ✅ South Gate (near Sphinx) is open but NOT recommended for entry (unless you’re staying nearby). 🗺️ Recommended route: Enter from NEW gate → Exit from South Gate. Lots of restaurants outside + perfect sunset views! 🌅 (Check my other post: “Rooftop restaurant with 20 RMB pyramid views!”) 2️⃣ Tickets & Payment 🎫 Price: 700 EGP / Half price for students (bring student ID!) 💳 Payment: Cards ONLY (no cash!). Bring a Visa card. 🔐 Process: Swipe card → Security check → Board shuttle bus 🚐 3️⃣ FREE Shuttle Bus (Super Important!) No more walking till your feet hurt! The shuttle runs like a hop-on-hop-off bus with 4 stops: 📸 9-Pyramid Photo Spot (classic panoramic view) 🧱 Menkaure Pyramid 🏛️ Khafre Pyramid 🦁 Sphinx / South Gate How to use: ✅ Find the shuttle stop right after entering. ✅ Follow signs — buses come frequently, no long waits. ✅ Get off at any stop, take photos, and hop on the next bus! 💰 Cost: completely FREE! No extra ticket needed. 4️⃣ Recommended Route & Timing ⏰ While many suggest mornings, I recommend arriving around 2 PM → have lunch → enter → explore till closing (less sun, softer light ☀️😎). I went in April — gates closed at 4 PM. Shuttle saves energy, and you can exit from South Gate for gorgeous sunset views! 🌇 Recommended route: New Gate → Shuttle → 9-Pyramid Spot → Menkaure Pyramid → Khufu Pyramid (can enter) → Khafre Pyramid → Sphinx → South Gate Exit #Egypt #EgyptTravel #PyramidsOfGiza #Cairo #TravelTips #PyramidTour #VisitEgypt 🇪🇬🐫📸
