If you are going to Cairo, the trip would not be complete without a visit to the Sphinx and the pyramids at Giza. Despite the years of wear and tear and part of its face missing, the sphinx is still a very impressive sight to see. I would also recommend the light and laser show in the evening. It will provide you with a lot of history and insight to the pyramids and the Sphinx. When you arrive at the light show, workers will try and escort you to seats in their bar/restaurant area at the back to sell you drinks. By sitting here You will miss out on the atmosphere of the event; Instead, say no and head to the seating areas up front. One more suggestion, I would highly recommend staying at the Oberoi Mena House hotel which is literally a stones throw from the Pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx. It is a wonderful hotel in a beautiful setting.
