It is permissible to visit the pyramids for reflection and to ponder the fate of those who built them, and to contemplate their ultimate end, provided that one is safe from the impermissible actions that occur in tourist places. Similarly, it is permissible for women to visit graves as long as no religious prohibition results from it.
