The day opens before sunrise in Sharm El Sheikh: an A/C van pulls away from the hotel, and the desert air gives way to the hum of the airport. Hours later Cairo spreads under your feet — a city of limestone plateaus, the slow ribbon of the Nile, and the colossus of the Giza Plateau stepping out of sand and sky.

Carry your passport and visas
You must travel with a current passport and confirm any visa requirements before departure; border checks are enforced for domestic airport transfers.
Dress for sun and sites
Wear comfortable closed shoes and a sun hat—Giza’s limestone and sand reflect heat; modest clothing is preferred at cultural sites.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Long walking periods and a busy schedule mean bring water and rest between stops; bottled water is often provided but carry a refillable bottle.
Bring small local currency
Small notes are useful for tips, souvenirs at papyrus workshops, and incidental purchases; ask your guide about customary tipping amounts.
Passport and visa documents
Required for domestic flights and border control—carry originals, not just photos.
Comfortable walking shoes
Closed, supportive shoes handle sand, gravel and uneven pyramid approaches.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
Essential to manage intense sun exposure on the plateau and during outdoor stops.
