Egypt's wealthy history awaits the daring tourist - even if you're not ready to ride a unhappy camel all around desert wastes. Numerous individuals do not realize that the Giza pyramids (only the most well-known in Egypt - there are more than 90 of them) are situated in what are now the suburbs of Cairo. Being the only remaining site from amongst the Seven Wonders of the World, the Giza pyramids possess a long history as a tourist destination, and contemporary Cairo makes it simple for the modern tourist to encounter the glory of the past.

The most inexpensive way to get to the Giza pyramids site from the heart of Cairo is on the buses that run from Midan Tahrir, the central square in Cairo. It's simple to locate the buses that will take you. The simplest method is to take a cab, but have the driver agree on a reasonable cost before you depart. Inquire a local what the trip ought to cost before you jump in. Your hotel may offer a bus/tour package and that may be the very best and simplest approach, particularly if you're not the daring kind.For the traveler wishing to experience the region on a more conventional mode of transport, you will find camel and horseback services available. Nothing beats exploring ancient Egyptian historic sites from atop a four-legged beast. Many suggest horses over camels, although, as camels can be somewhat troublesome sometimes.

Whenever you arrive at the pyramids, you will no most likely be surrounded by tour guides and sellers of inexpensive tourist goods. Be resolute and ask your hotel staff or a local beforehand what the honest price ought to be for one of several possible tours. There are likely to be many who wish to separate you from your bucks, euros, or any other currencies. Don't be afraid to haggle a little - it is part of the culture and it is a fantastic way to interact with the locals - as well as it's expected - nobody will be offended if you drive a tough bargain.

The Pyramids of Giza are one of the must-see destinations for just about any world traveller. Plan a trip now and take advantage of low off-season rates. And while you are there, make sure that your family and friends can easily call Egypt to hear about your adventures whilst you are having them. It's possible to make cheap calls to Egypt 24/7 through one of the low-cost telecom services available. Discover historical Egypt without losing touch with the 21st century!
