Giza pyramids ticket prices by type
There is no single price for the pyramids. You pay a basic plateau ticket to enter, then add-on tickets for the things many people most want to do, like going inside a pyramid. A guided tour bundles the plateau entry with transport and a guide.
| Ticket | Price (adult) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Plateau entry | Low, fixed fee | The three pyramids, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple |
| Inside the Great Pyramid | Higher add-on | Entry into the Khufu pyramid passages |
| Solar Boat Museum | Small add-on | The reconstructed funerary boat of Khufu |
| Guided day tour | From €25 to €50 | Plateau entry, Sphinx, transport and a licensed guide |
Why most visitors book a guided tour
The plateau ticket alone does not include transport, a guide or help with the camel touts. A guided tour handles the ticketing, brings an Egyptologist and sets the route, which is why it is the most popular way to visit. A strong value pick is the Half Day Giza Pyramids and Sphinx tour with private guide.
