Pyramid Complexes: Each of the main pyramids has an associated complex of buildings, including mortuary temples and causeways. These complexes provide insights into the religious and funerary practices of ancient Egypt.

Solar Boat Museum: Located near the Great Pyramid, the Solar Boat Museum houses a reconstructed solar boat that was buried with Pharaoh Khufu to transport him to the afterlife. You can visit this museum to see the well-preserved boat.

Sound and Light Show: The Giza Plateau hosts a nightly sound and light show where the history and legends of the pyramids and the Sphinx are narrated with dramatic lighting and sound effects. It's a unique way to experience the site at night.

Camel and Horseback Riding: You can take a camel or horseback ride around the Giza Plateau, which provides a different perspective and an opportunity for memorable photos.
