A low sun gilds the limestone faces of the Giza Plateau as your private guide outlines the day: first the Great Pyramid’s ancient angles, then the narrow alleys of Khan El Khalili. The city smells of diesel and spices; the Mediterranean at Alexandria later dares you with a cool breeze along the Corniche.

Start early
Begin major site visits at first light to avoid heat and large tour groups; Giza and the Egyptian Museum are quieter in the morning.
