吉萨金字塔、狮身人面像与大埃及博物馆:完整一日
上午看金字塔,下午看图坦卡蒙的珍宝。埃及最精彩的一天。

七大奇迹中仅存的一座,距开罗市中心 12 公里。
吉萨高地上有胡夫、哈夫拉和门卡乌拉三座金字塔(约公元前 2560–2510 年)和狮身人面像。导览参观需三到四小时;高地门票约 700 埃镑,进入大金字塔内部另付约 900 埃镑。我们的行程含高地门票,可从开罗任一酒店接客,或从赫尔格达和沙姆沙伊赫乘大巴或飞机前往。
The Great Pyramid of Khufu was the tallest building on earth for 3,800 years. Khafre's pyramid next to it keeps its limestone casing at the top and looks taller because it stands on higher ground; Menkaure's is a third of the size and can be entered on the VIP tour. The Sphinx, carved from a single outcrop left by the quarrying, guards the causeway of Khafre's valley temple.
The best order is Khufu first while it is cool, the panorama viewpoint south-west of the plateau for the photograph of all three pyramids in a row, then down to the Sphinx. Camel rides are offered at the panorama; your guide agrees a fair price. The Grand Egyptian Museum is two kilometres away and pairs with the plateau for a full day.
Crowds peak between 10:00 and 13:00 with the coaches from the Red Sea. Guests staying in Cairo should go at 08:00 or after 14:00; guests coming by bus from Hurghada or Sharm arrive around 09:00 and the guide moves quickly through the busiest points.
最佳时间: 十月至四月气温适宜;全年 08:00 或 14:00 之后光线好、大巴少。
