History
Cairo grew around older capitals; the Giza pyramid complex dates to the 4th Dynasty (~26th century BCE) while the medieval Citadel reflects Salah al-Din’s 12th-century fortifications and later Ottoman influences.
Conservation
Archaeological sites are sensitive: follow barrier signs, avoid touching ancient stone and reduce plastic waste by using refillable bottles to limit impact.

Beat the heat early
Start outdoor visits at first light; mid-morning temperatures rise quickly on open sites like Giza and Saqqara.
Respect dress codes
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothing for mosques and conservative neighborhoods to enter sites without issue.
Carry small local cash
Bring Egyptian pounds for tips, small purchases, and souk bargaining—card acceptance can be limited in markets.
Footwear matters
Choose sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes for uneven stone, sand and occasional steep ramps at ancient sites.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Protects against intense sun during outdoor site visits.

Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical in Cairo’s dry climate; hotels and some sites offer refill points.
Comfortable walking shoes
Closed-toe shoes handle sand, stone steps, and city pavements better than sandals.
