ATTRACTIONS IN CAIRO
The most popular tourist attraction for most tourists to Egypt, the Great Pyramids of Giza rise in the desert as a testament to the civilization of the Ancient Egyptians. Within this cluster, there are three primary pyramids, built for the rulers Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Note that only three hundred tickets are available each day to visit the Pyramids and the adjacent Great Sphinx, so the availability of this attraction is highly limited. Although not a part of Cairo itself, the Great Pyramids are only located eleven miles away from downtown Cairo, making them accessible for most visitors to the city. You can travel to the Pyramids via tour bus or taxi; public transportation does not connect the Pyramids with Cairo itself. If you are able to secure tickets, the trip to see one of the original Seven Wonders of the World is well worth it.
