Gizah, or Giza or however you want to spell it is one of the oldest tourist destinations in the world. Home of the Great Pyramids of Giza. When I visited, I went in the late afternoon (mostly because we couldn't get directions...no one seemed to know where the pyramids were and how to get to them), but the setting sun was amazing against the pyramids. Taxis are overflowing as are souvenir shops. They're selling exactly what you're looking for. Don't believe me? Just ask them and they'll tell you the same thing.

Things to see in Giza - The Great Pyramids Sphinx Best time to visit - sunrise, sunset or evening when it's not so hot

Zeker in de pyramide van Chepos gaan! Overweldigend!!!! zo kolossaal!!! Ik krijg er nog 'kiekenvlees' van als ik eraan denk!

Great place to see! Visit early in the morning or late afternoon because its EXTREMELY HOT! Take lots and lots of water with you!

Pyramids and the Sphinx. What else?

very nice, very dynamic, very cultural

als je in Egypte bent, MOET je naar Cairo. En zeker naar het nationaal museum om naar de schatten van Toetanchamon te gaan kijken! Ik kan uren naar zijn dodenmasker kijken.

Extraordinary!!! Like travelling in another dimension! Colours, smells, sounds, people....

It's been a while since I was there but locals were fab. We met some really honest people who just wanted to show us their city. Enjoy a turkish coffee and a flavored smoke near the markets. Go to the citadel and be amazed at how you can feel quite alone in this crowded city. Rent a taxi for the day and visit Giza and other close Pyramids and historic areas. You can get good deals on this from some cheap hotels. For a special treat if you are backpaking pay to use the pool at the Mena House Hotel, you can see views of Gisa, this is where Churchill and Roosevelt discussed WWII so is an interesting place to spend a day. Enjoy the food and the peoplel, I loved Cairo!

Don't let the beggars bother u.. they will surrond u, but no one is forced to give money! It is nice, but not an obligation..
