The area around the Egyptian pyramids has been revamped, the hard sellers have been moved, and the whole area is now car-free
Some 2.5 million people visit the Pyramids of Giza each year with hopes of an epic experience befitting one of the Seven Wonders of the World. But for decades, a trip to Egypt’s most famous tourist spot meant battling crowds and parrying aggressive hawkers.
Now, thanks to a US$30 million revamp that rethinks the experience, seeing the pyramids is finally inspiring more awe than agony. A network of buses whisks visitors around the site, the hard sells have been tamed – and you can even enjoy some fine dining overlooking the 4,600-year-old monuments.
All this officially debuts on July 3 – a milestone seven years in the making.
