The main pyramids at Giza were built during the Fourth Dynasty (c. 26th century BCE), with Khufu’s tomb the largest and the Sphinx carved from a single limestone ridge to guard ancient processional routes.
Conservation
High visitor numbers require careful site management—stay on marked paths, avoid touching masonry, and follow guide instructions to minimize erosion and wear.

Beat the heat
Start early or mid-afternoon to avoid the strongest sun; temperatures on the plateau can feel much hotter than in the city.
Sturdy shoes
Wear closed, comfortable walking shoes—sand and limestone slabs are abrasive and often uneven.
Bring small cash
Carry small bills for tipping guides, camel handlers, or buying bottled water—vendors don’t always have change.
Respect restricted areas
Do not climb the stones or cross taped-off sections; doing so harms fragile archaeological features and can lead to fines.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Protects against intense sun and reduces glare when photographing monuments.

Reusable water bottle
