NOTES:
1 – Visiting Hours: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
2 – I was with my friend Ebrahim during this whole trip. So asking a stranger or someone else to take my photos is not a problem! Haha. (But seriously, other than that, having a local as your companion is a sure big help in many things you can imagine!)
3 – There are other ticket fees you may purchase but if you’re on a tight budget like me, the main entrance ticket should be fine. I believe the free ones already satisfy my cravings of this ancient World Wonder.
4 – I didn’t utilize any horse nor camel to get me from one point to another within the Pyramid Complex. I just walk and wander around the whole Complex! It’s beautiful!
5 – The best view of the Pyramids is from the dunes which everyone called ‘the Panorama’. You can take a camel ride to get there but come on—if I walked all the way to get there, you can do it too!
6 – Be mindful of the scams! If someone asks you for something (e.g., taking pictures with their camels,) ask them first if it’s free. Typically, nothing is free there haha! So just decline politely to avoid any mishap.
Actually arrived at the border (Canadian passport) and they turned us back because the armenian border on arrival desk is still closed because of COVID.
GET AN E-VISA BEFORE GOING.
Back in Tbilissi, we applied for the evisa at 7pm, got accepted around noon the next day so, try this 😉
Glad you got accepted quickly! Thanks for sharing your experience! Have a good time in Armenia! =)
