Conservation
High visitor numbers stress fragile sites and Nile ecology—follow guide directions, avoid touching reliefs, and limit single-use plastics to reduce impact.

Hydrate Continuously
Carry a reusable water bottle and drink frequently—days are hot and walking between sites is dehydrating even when shaded.
Observe Local Dress
Wear shoulders and knees covered when visiting mosques or conservative neighborhoods to show respect and ease entry at some sites.
Protect Against Sun and Dust
Use high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses; a lightweight scarf guards against dust in open temples and markets.
Carry Small Local Cash
Bring small bills and change for tips, market bargaining and entrance fees at minor sites—cards aren’t always accepted.
Breathable walking shoes
Comfortable, grippy shoes handle cobblestones, temple steps and short hikes around ruins.
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, SPF 50)
Direct sun is strong; protection reduces fatigue and sunburn during long site visits.
summer
Light daypack
Keeps water, documents and camera gear accessible during excursions and transfers.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Useful for staying hydrated between provided bottled water, and reduces plastic waste.
