Carry your passport and photocopies
You’ll need ID for ticketing and sometimes to purchase extra-entry tickets (e.g., Tutankhamun’s tomb). Keep one copy in your bag and one in your luggage.

Many tombs prohibit flash or have restricted entry — ask your guide before photographing to avoid fines or equipment damage.
