The ticket
Going inside needs a separate ticket on top of the plateau entry, with the Great Pyramid costing more than the smaller pyramids. Daily numbers are limited, so go early.
What it is like inside
You climb a low, steep passage in a crouch to reach the bare Kings Chamber. It is warm and there is no decoration, so it is about being inside the monument, not seeing art.
Should you go in?
- Go if you want the experience of standing within the pyramid
- Skip if you are claustrophobic or expect tomb paintings
- Tip: the decorated tombs are at Saqqara and Luxor
