The train of taxi horns fades as you step into Cairo’s morning light: sun rinses the limestone of the Giza Plateau, the Sphinx watches over a slow parade of camels and private cars, and the city’s mix of calls to prayer and traffic frames the start of a long, layered trip.

Conservation
Coral reefs around the Red Sea are sensitive to sunscreen and anchor damage — choose reef-safe products and certified operators; in archaeological areas, stick to marked paths and support licensed guides.

Sun protection is mandatory
Egypt’s sun is intense year-round; bring broad-spectrum sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses for temple visits and the Red Sea shore.
Bring small local currency
Some entrances (Pyramid interior, Mummy Room) and local vendors prefer cash — small Egyptian pounds and tips make transactions quicker.
Respect site dress codes
Wear shoulders-and-knee-covering clothing at mosques and Coptic sites; lightweight layers work well for both comfort and respect.
Plan for transfers and timing
Multiple domestic flights and a 3-hour road transfer make punctuality important — keep essentials in your carry-on and confirm pickup times.
Sturdy walking shoes
Closed-toe shoes with good tread are useful for temple compounds, uneven rock and guided walks.
Lightweight sun layers and scarf
Breathable long sleeves and a scarf protect from sun and sudden cool evenings or conservative dress needs.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Staying hydrated in dry climates is essential; filtered bottles reduce plastic use and let you refill bottled-water safely.
Reef-safe snorkel mask
If you plan to snorkel the Red Sea, a personal mask improves comfort and avoids shared rentals.
