The rooftop of 9 Pyramids Lounge offers the best pyramid view for the price of a juice. Perfect for sunset when the light show starts at the pyramids.
insiderNever accept help from anyone near the pyramids who approaches you. Fixed price tickets are available at the official booth only. "Closed today" or "special price" are always scams.
safetySkip expensive restaurants. The best koshary (Egypt's national dish) is at Koshary Abou Tarek - 3 floors of locals enjoying the same dish since 1950.
foodVisit the bazaar at 10 AM when shops open - fewer crowds and shopkeepers are more relaxed. Avoid Friday afternoons (prayer time) and after 6 PM (most crowded).
