The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to as the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining or couchant sphinx (a mythical creature with a lion's body and a human head) that stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. It is the largest monolith statue in the world.

Negotiate the horse carriage prices to lesser than half before getting on the horse. And all the pyramids in the area are walkable. As the 'guides'to cut the bullshit when they say u can't walk.
No, Napoleon Bonaparte didn't shoot off his nose, but yes the head looks smaller than the body so maybe there was originally a larger head that was re-carved into what we see today?
Just say "no thank you no". To all the camel and horse scammers . They may take pictures and say is free or also free ride saying "pay what makes you happy" be careful. But nothing to worry about.
It is really amazing to see. My advice to you is to go there at winter not summer due to the scorching sun and sunburns many will try to sell you stuff and make you ride for money.Enjoy.
A must see in Cairo! Be prepared for the people trying to sell you things. It’s quite a walk from the pyramids, so make sure you have good walking shoes if you’re not driving or taking a horse cart
The side and front angle looks amazing. Great place for photography but be aware of pick pockets and gift sellers who continues to pester you non stop
Wonderful scenery with lots of ancient stuff ???? bring your sun block and water bottle with you, yes! It’s too hot in summer.
Go on the 30 minute camel ride for the best view of all of the pyramids. The panorama views are breathtaking and even better on a camel.
The mosque of Mohamed Ali in #cairo_egypt ,it's a coppy of the blue mosque in Istanboul . Must to see when you #travel_to_egypt www.egypttravelgateway.com info@egypttravelgateway.com

James Bond attempts to make contact with Aziz Fekkesh in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), but he is spooked by the imposing figure of Jaws when he is illuminated in front of the great sphinx.
Let's discover Sphinx, who was buried for most of its life in the sand. It was King Thutmose IV (1425 - 1417 BC) who placed a stela between the front paws of the figure. Read more

Introduced as scratched from a monolith centuries B.C., restored and visited by millions every year.
Two camel guys stopped agresively our car 2km before pyramides, wants to sell us camel ride . We did not had any peace time there, like mosquitos for our money, finally some camel for 15m cost us 300.
Head here first and don't let anyone talk you into taking a camel ride if you don't really want to - it's perfectly manageable by foot
The great Sphinx, must visit when you come to Egypt .
Superb architecture of the Great Sphinx
Difficult to get a good photo with all the posers knocking about. You'd think they were on a catwalk with all the pouting. Be patient. Face of the Sphinx is badly weathered and smaller than imagined
The sphinx of Chephren was made to be the guard of his pyramid behind . unfortunately the nose is broken the larger part of it is in the British museum and the smaller part is in Cairo museum
Excellent food, this Pizza Hut having the best view of the only standing world wonder, The Great Pyramids of Giza . Try their fire wings.
Odyoo Egypt Favorite: The Sphinx is a lot smaller then one would think. For the best photos you will want to shoot from the right hand side after you pass by the "Tour Guide Well ".
Go with a tour and avoid the local scammers .
Amazing. Lots of scammers though, just say no.
Mosque of Mohamed Ali at the Citadel is a copy of the blue mosque in Istanboul www.egypttravelgateway.com info@egypttravelgateway.com
A must-see great work of ancient architecture !
Before entering the main Tourist Area of the Sphinx, venture to the opposite (right-hand) side for the perfect place to take a quiet photograph . Or, try a trick photo!
The English language light show is at 7 pm every day.
For the best photo spot go pass by the 'Tour Guide Well ' sign on the right-hand side and there you'll find it!
It was not my first visit but it’s felt like my first coz of the huge changes in organizing the visits .
AWFUL!! Egyptian would be great, but in side of foreigner, i was really disappointed and seek of people who tend to observer as a peddler. They steel ticket and beg for money. I NEVER wanna go again
