Although there is not a lot to see once inside the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), it's hard to pass up the once in a lifetime experience. After a short climb up the outside of the pyramid, there's a small (and likely crowded) entrance "guarded" by a ticket collector. Once inside, it's a rather steep (and quite hot) climb up a narrow ramp with low ceilings and two-way foot traffic. The actual burial room is dark and barren - other than the empty sarcophagus.

It was an added cost, but we didn't want to miss out on going inside at least one of the Great Pyramids while we were in Giza. We didn't realize how difficult the trek inside to see the actual tomb of Cheops would be - steep with a very low ceiling, but it was a once in a lifetime experience!
