Pyramids open at Giza
For anyone who was waiting with baited breath to find out which pyramids are currently open at Giza, the most up to date information sent to me comes from Mary Lake (thanks Mary!) who says that in January both Khafre and the Great Pyramid were open, with a limited number of tickets on sale, and costing 100 EGP.
