Options at a Glance

  • Metro + bus/taxi (budget; may require short final hop)
  • Rideshare (Uber/Careem) direct to gate
  • Private transfer/guide (door-to-door, pricier but easy)

Gate Strategy

  • Main/Visitor gate: convenient for ticketing and starting clockwise.
  • Sphinx gate: better if your first priority is Sphinx photography.

Looping the Plateau

Plan a clockwise loop: Khufu east → Khafre flank → Menkaure → panorama point → Sphinx exit.

Bottom Line

Choose comfort vs budget honestly. If you value time and context, a vetted guide/driver can be worth the premium.
