History
The Giza pyramids date to the Old Kingdom (c. 2600–2500 BCE) while Khan el-Khalili grew around a medieval caravanserai; the Egyptian Museum, opened in 1902, concentrates many finds from 19th–20th century excavations.
Conservation
High visitor numbers put pressure on fragile sites; stay on marked paths, avoid touching reliefs, and don’t climb monuments. Supporting licensed guides helps local stewardship.

Start at first light
Arrive early at Giza to avoid heat and large tour groups — morning light is best for photos and cooler walking.
Carry water and electrolytes
Bring 1–2 liters per person and sip regularly; Cairo’s sun and walking add up over nine hours.
Dress modestly and in layers
Light, breathable clothing that covers shoulders/knees is respectful for religious sites; a light layer is useful for air-conditioned museums.
Bargain politely in Khan el-Khalili
Start at about 50–60% of the asking price and be friendly — haggling is social as well as transactional.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial for a full-day tour in Cairo’s sun.
Comfortable walking shoes
Protect your feet on cobbles, sandstone and museum floors.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Summer sun is intense; protection reduces fatigue and sunburn.
