Inside the Great Pyramid – Practical Guide

Expectation Check

• Temperature and humidity can be high; airflow is limited.
• Passages are narrow with low ceilings—mind your head and pace.
• Time inside is limited on busy days; keep moving respectfully.

Suggested Sequence

1. Hydrate before entry; use restroom in advance.
2. Stow loose gear; secure phones/cameras.
3. Maintain rhythm through the Ascending Passage; pause only in wider bays.

Health & Safety

• If you’re prone to claustrophobia, practice slow breathing and focus on the next landing.
• Wear grippy shoes; surfaces can be polished smooth.

Etiquette

• Keep voices low; allow space for return flow.
• No touching inscriptions or surfaces unnecessarily.

Bottom Line

The Khufu interior is intense but memorable. Go early, travel light, and respect others’ pace.
