Thank you terry:p

Yes, you can. Tickets can be tough to come by (so I read on the other forum threads) in busy times. We were there in March, and our guide got tickets for our group of 6 into the Great Pyramid.

Inside, you will need to stoop to climb up the ramps to the main chambers. So, you will be in a confined space, stooped over, climbing. We were all reasonably fit 50-somethings, and none of us had a problem physically. One of us was pretty claustrophobic, and me somewhat, but we both did okay (though I was *very* glad it was not crowded inside).

You can stand up in the main chamber(s). It's lit inside, but I had a flashlight (just in case :eek:) for good measure.

Thanks for your informations :p

I think its not recommended if you suffer from heart problems, back pains or breathing. consequences might be not good

 

best of luck and I wish you a great tour with EPE
