Is going inside the Great Pyramid claustrophobic?
The passageway leading to the King's Chamber is narrow and steep. If you suffer from claustrophobia, your guide can swap this for an extended Sphinx tour.
What is the dress code?
Smart casual and comfortable. We recommend walking shoes, sunglasses, and a hat. For Mena House, resort-casual is preferred.
