## Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better before or after Giza? 

It works beautifully before Giza because it explains how pyramid architecture evolved.

Are interiors included? 

Standard site entry is included. Pyramid interiors and special tombs, where open, need separate tickets and are added only if you choose them.

How physical is the day? 

Expect sand, uneven paths, and some optional climbs. Your guide can keep the route moderate.
