Beat the heat with timing
Plan major temple visits for early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak sun and crowds.
Bring local cash
Small vendors, tomb fees, and tips are often cash-only — carry Egyptian pounds in small denominations.
Dress for temples
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering layers out of respect at religious sites and to stay comfortable in the sun.
Stay hydrated on the Nile
Carry a refillable water bottle; boats supply water but dry air and sun increase dehydration risk.
Wide-brim sun hat
Protects face and neck during prolonged outdoor visits and boat decks.
