Start early at Giza
Arrive at the plateau at sunrise or early morning to avoid the midday heat and crowds; the light is best for photos and walking is easier before temperatures climb.
Carry cash for small fees
Bring Egyptian pounds and small change for vendor purchases, tips, and optional on-site tickets like the Solar Boat museum which is often paid separately.
Dress respectfully and in layers
Wear lightweight, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for mosque and museum visits; a breathable outer layer helps with cool museum interiors and hot outdoors.
Expect uneven terrain
Sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes are important—limestone steps, loose sand, and ancient thresholds are common across sites.
