I just asked my friend who is travel guide in Cairo. She said the new discoveries are NOT open to the public as of now. There is much to still be explored Btw if you want a recommendation for I guide, I’d be glad to connect you.
What are the mobility requirements here? How far do you have to walk? Are surfaces uneven? When descending into the pyramids, is the path or stairs difficult or easy?
A:
yes there's quite a bit of walking, mostly flat and packed and some loose sand; there are a few uneven surfaces; if stability or balance is an issue at any location, I would not …
