Sun protection is essential
Days are hot and reflective on the water—bring SPF 30+, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses for long temple walks.
Carry small Egyptian pounds
Many sites, small vendors, and tipping are easiest with local cash—ATMs are available in Luxor and Aswan but may be limited between stops.
Choose low‑profile walking shoes
Temple complexes have uneven stone floors and steps—sturdy sandals or light hiking shoes provide grip and breathability.
Plan for early mornings
Popular sites like the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel (optional) start at dawn to avoid heat and crowds—expect early pickups.
