I'm very keen to get myself to Egypt, I've always been fascinated by the ancient structions and Djoser's step pyramid to me is probably the most interesting, possibly as its the oldest known pyramid? Anyway, I am aware you need to have what they call a "camera permit" for the tombs in the Valley of the Kings", but can you go inside such pyraminds as the Great Pyramid at Giza, or indeed, Djoser's pyramid?

I've never managed to find confirmation of weather you can or cannot still do this.

Thanks for any reply.

I think if you go by yourself, as a tourist, you probably cant but if you go with a resputable tour guide and group, they probably let you go in. I have wondered this too.

Sorry but no you cant. I went to Saqqara last year and the actual Pyramid wasn't open, the complex around it was but you couldn't go inside the pyramid. You can go in the Pyramids of Khufu and Khafre at Giza, but get there early as like Tutankhamun's tomb and Nefertari's tomb they only sell a limited number of tickets each day. Get to the Pyramids as early as you can as most tickets are sold by about 9 in the morning, for the Pyramids. The Great Pyramid is amazing to go inside, I hope you get there. It is an unforgettable experience!

Thank you for that info, Si-Amun! I always wodered about if you could go in the Great Pyramid, now I know to go early! lol

hey im doing a egypt project for school.can anyone help well im doing a diogram of the step pyramig. c-ya

Blaah. All this makes me nauseous, but in a good way. Maybe Osiris II could help you out. Or perhaps Neb-Maat-re. Those two seem to be the most knowledgeable ones on the site and are active members.

Informative posts, I read useful article about King Djoser and the step pyramid at

It is sometimes possible to get into places that are not officialy open.
