Seasons, opening hours and the quietest moments on the plateau.
The best season
October to April is the most comfortable time to visit the Giza Pyramids. Days are warm and sunny, and evenings are cool enough for the Sound & Light show. From May to September temperatures often pass 35°C, so plan your visit for the early morning.
