Beat the Heat
Start temple visits early in the morning and carry a sun hat; mid-day can be extremely hot, especially from May to September.

Expect uneven stone floors, stairs and sand; low-ankle hiking shoes or sturdy trainers give better traction and comfort.
Respect Photography Rules
Some museums and inner tomb chambers restrict photography—ask your guide before using flash or entering restricted rooms.
