Photo quests in Al Giza

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Al Giza holds 15 quests across six categories, with no single one of them defining the place: Food and History are level at four quests each. The one category with nothing in Al Giza so far is Beach.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Agricultural Museum. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 14 are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers eleven of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. History here means places where something happened and the ground still shows it, which is also where the famous version and the standing version most often part company. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Al Giza quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The one quests in Al Giza the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country.

Questions

About quests in Al Giza

How many photo quests are there in Al Giza?
15, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are History (4), Food (4) and Nature (2). Nothing in Beach here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Great Sphinx, Orman Garden and Grand Egyptian Museum.
What is there to do in Al Giza beyond the obvious?
One of the 15 quests in Al Giza is tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Al Giza holds one at tier 1, three at tier 2 and 11 at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Agricultural Museum, in History.
Can you do all the Al Giza quests on one trip?
Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 15 is 16 km from the middle of the Al Giza list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each.
Which Al Giza quests can you do for free?
14 of the 15 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 15 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Al Giza means one quest: Agricultural Museum.
How do I prove I visited a place in Al Giza?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Al Giza is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Great Sphinx fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Al Giza sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
