Start early to beat the heat
Morning hours offer cooler temperatures and thinner crowds at the pyramids and Saqqara; plan photos and walking segments then.
Hydrate continuously
Carry a refillable bottle—the tour provides bottled water but you'll want frequent sips during quad and camel segments.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Tomb interiors and desert tracks are uneven and sandy; closed shoes protect against heat, stone and dust.
Carry local cash and ID
Small purchases, tips and monument checkpoints often require local currency and identification for ticketing.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Critical protection from intense sun during open-plateau visits and desert riding.
