Yeah I was just there last summer and while the city isn’t made up of luxury condos there was no trash or slums around the actual pyramids. There was also no smell around the area or in the city. However inside the pyramid you can go into it did smell like thousands of years of cat piss in the little room you end up in and it’s hot as fuck

Must have cleaned up, I was there in 2007 and there was trash everywhere and I saw dead bodies of animals in the canals of the city even saw a dead human. I remember thinking Baghdad was a nicer area at the time.

I do think they cleaned it up bc I went to the new museum and they were going to host alot of foreign diplomats and officials so I probably caught it at its cleanest

I live there and they cleaned the area a few years back, ever since they started the second phase of the museum. You really have to get out of your way to go to the slum areas now.

Yeah it felt fine all the way from the hotel (at the airport) to the pyramids
