Is it worth going inside the Great Pyramid of Giza and how much time should you plan for the visit?

Going inside the pyramid is worth it — visitors went down into the interior, then drove separately to the Sphinx for photos; the whole visit took a good chunk of the day.

The Sphinx sits apart from the pyramids themselves, so you need to drive there separately — factor this into your route planning.

For a pyramids trip plus a boat ride, a private driver with hotel pickup and drop-off worked well — well organized, no complaints.

If you've already visited before and don't want to go inside, you can just walk up to the entrance of the Khufu (Great) Pyramid for photos.

There's usually no queue to enter the pyramid, so if you have time it's worth going in — many people spend their time on other spots and photos instead and end up skipping the interior.
