They say the pyramids of Giza are closed for restoration. Truth?
All excursions stop 200 meters before the pyramids and that's it. And just because of the pyramids, we practically bought a ticket to Egypt. Respond who knows anything about this. Thank you.

I WAS IN CAIRO IN JULY. THERE WERE NEAR THE PYRAMIDS. FIRST, THE EXCURSION WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE SITE FOR PANORAMIC VIEWING OF THE PYRAMIDS. THERE YOU CAN TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AND BUY SOUVENIRS. THEN (I WENT WITH THE TOUR OPERATOR TEZ TOUR) WE WAS DRIVED TO THE PYRAMIDS THEMSELVES. THERE IT WAS POSSIBLE TO VISIT A FREE GRAB AND FOR A PAYMENT YOU CAN GO TO THE MOST IMPORTANT PYRAMIDS. SO IF IT IS WRITTEN THAT THE PYRAMIDS ARE CLOSED FOR RESTORATION THEN IT IS NOT TRUE. YOU EVEN HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED ON THEM. AND THE LAST STOP WE WAS THE SPHINX. HERE WE DID NOT DOWN TO HIM. AND PHOTOGRAPHED NEARBY.

I can’t even imagine how it is - the pyramids are closed for restoration ?? And why don't they deliver closer than 200 meters? Sounds strange somehow. Maybe the entrance to the pyramid is closed? So it’s not necessary to go there, you won’t see anything interesting (except for the entrance fee) there. The pyramids must be viewed from the side. It's like a classic - "big is seen at a distance." Against the background of the pyramids, everyone is photographed. Well, if you succeed, quickly climb the first step of the pyramid (until a dashing policeman jumped on a camel or crackled his whistle) and quickly take a picture. And so - only against the background of the pyramids, and then, moving away from them at a distance, so that the entire pyramid or most of it with the top is in the frame.

The police do not let you high on the pyramid (3-4 stones, and each is half your height, I have such a photo) and you can climb the first steps, we walked around the pyramid along the lower, first stone, no one drove. And they don’t really bring you to the sphinx, just look at it from a distance and take a picture. And buy souvenirs on the observation deck, there are the cheapest, bargain until the last.
