Hotels in Giza, Egypt

Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, has a hot desert climate with mild winters (around 50-70°F / 10-21°C) perfect for exploring the ancient pyramids and the Sphinx without melting. In the scorching summer (often over 100°F / 38°C), you can escape the midday heat by catching the evening Sound and Light Show at the pyramids, a narrated spectacle that brings 4,500-year-old history to life. For the best experience, visit between November and February when you can comfortably ride a camel across the plateau and imagine the workers who built these tombs over 20 years.
