Inside the pyramids, there are several chambers and corridors that were designed to hold the mummified remains of pharaohs and their treasures. The specific features of the interior of the pyramids can vary depending on the pyramid in question, but here are some general things you can see inside:

• Entrance: The entrance to the pyramid is typically a narrow passage that leads into the heart of the pyramid. This passage may be steep and difficult to navigate.
• Descending passage: This is a long, sloping corridor that leads deeper into the pyramid. It is usually narrow and dimly lit.
• Subterranean chamber: This is a large room located at the bottom of the descending passage. In some pyramids, this chamber was intended to be the final resting place of the pharaoh, but in others, it was left unfinished.
• Queen's chamber: This is a smaller chamber located above the subterranean chamber. It was likely intended to hold the mummified remains of the pharaoh's wife or wives.
• King's chamber: This is the main chamber of the pyramid, located at the top of the pyramid's internal structure. It was intended to hold the pharaoh's sarcophagus, which contained his mummified remains.
• Corridors and ventilation shafts: There are various narrow corridors and ventilation shafts that connect the different chambers and allow air to circulate within the pyramid.
• It's worth noting that many of the pyramids' treasures and artifacts were looted long ago, so you are unlikely to see much in the way of riches or ornate decorations inside. However, the sheer size and scale of the pyramids themselves are impressive enough to make the trip inside worthwhile.

When visiting the pyramids in Egypt, it's important to dress appropriately for the local culture and climate. Here are some tips on what to wear:

• Conservative Clothing: It is recommended to wear conservative clothing that covers your shoulders, knees, and chest. This is not only respectful of local culture but also provides sun protection.
• Comfortable Shoes: Comfortable walking shoes are a must as there is a lot of walking and climbing involved when visiting the pyramids.
• Sun Protection: Egypt is known for its hot and sunny weather, so wearing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen is important to protect yourself from the sun.
• Layers: It's a good idea to dress in layers as the temperature can change throughout the day, especially if you are visiting during the winter months.
• Scarf: A scarf can be useful for covering your head and neck in case of wind or sand.

It's important to note that there are strict rules about what can be worn inside the pyramids themselves. Visitors are required to wear shoes that are easy to remove, such as sandals or flip-flops, and hats, sunglasses, and backpacks are not allowed inside. Additionally, visitors are not allowed to take photographs inside the pyramids.
