You can climb the
pyramids part of the way up, to about the level of
the entrance. It is possible to scramble over the
limestone blocks, but it's not easy and is far
better (and safer) to use the steps that are
concreted into the pyramid to make it possible for
tourists to get up there. It's very well done and
from a distance you can't tell the steps are there
at all.
You're not allowed to
climb to the top of the pyramids and there are a
number of stories of people trying to do so and then
falling to their death. Like any kind of climbing,
it's not so much the going up that causes the
problems as you're fresh and have a goal, it's in
the coming down that people have slipped and fallen.
