Conservation
Tourism pressures and Nile-level changes make waste management and respectful site behavior important; stick to marked paths, avoid touching reliefs and use refill options to reduce plastic waste.

Hydrate constantly
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per day and refill between sites — Egypt’s dry heat and temple walks dehydrate quickly.
Wear sturdy shoes
Temples and tombs have uneven stone, carved steps, and sand — closed-toe shoes with good grip help prevent slips.
Respect dress norms
Lightweight, modest clothing is appropriate at religious sites; a scarf for shoulders or head is useful for both sun and etiquette.
Carry local cash
Small vendors, tips and taxis often require Egyptian pounds; ATMs exist but have limits, so bring cash for incidentals.
Lightweight walking shoes
Protects feet on uneven temple stone and sandy banks.
