Cairo is often associated with ancient Egypt and is also synonymously associated with the world-famous Giza Pyramid Complex. These jaw-dropping structures are something that all travelers aspire to visit and we can understand why. They’re humongous architectural marvels that are considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world. The three structures, Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, were built between 2550 to 2490 B.C. and named after the pharaohs entombed in them. Khufu’s pyramid is believed to be the oldest among the pyramids of Giza. It held the record for being the tallest structure for almost 3,800 years.
We can also understand if you just can’t get enough of these awesome pyramids and want to feel like you’re within reach of them 24/7. Shape your Egypt memories by opting for a remarkable place to stay! There are many accommodation options, ranging from top luxury hotels to some world-class Airbnb vacation rentals in Egypt. Keep reading to unveil the charming hotels in and around Cairo with pyramid views.
New attraction to check out in Giza
According to Al Jazeera, The Grand Egyptian Museum has opened sections of the building to visitors on October 16, 2024, with a full opening still unannounced. The museum is situated near the Pyramids, and according to the BBC is expected to house more than 100,000 artifacts. I’d suggest you keep yourself updated on the museum’s official website if you plan to tour it!
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to views. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 16, 2025.

About The Pyramids of Giza
As the only surviving Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramids of Giza offer a majestic insight into the ingenuity of ancient civilizations. Built during the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the three pyramids are of varying sizes, with the largest, appropriately called the Great Pyramid, being the oldest. The Great Pyramid was built by the pharaoh Khufu around 2600 BC.
While desert sands extend across its southern reaches, the Pyramids are almost surrounded by the modern city of Giza. I think it’s quite poetic that this 4500-year-old monument made of limestone coexists today with a modern city built out of concrete and steel.
Tips for visiting:
- Make sure to visit the Great Sphinx while touring the Pyramids!
- Entry timings for the Pyramid complex are from 7am to 5pm daily.
