On this full-day excursion visitors move from the broad, wind-swept terraces beside Khufu to the shadowed alleys around the Sphinx, then into the cool galleries of the Egyptian Museum where gold, glass and painted wood keep a quieter watch.

Carry cash for tips and small purchases
Small vendors and onsite service staff commonly expect tips in EGP; ATMs are available in Cairo but cash is useful on the plateau.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
The plateau is uneven and sandy; closed shoes protect toes and give traction on limestone rubble near monuments.
Bring a photocopy of your passport for museum entry
The Egyptian Museum usually requires ID for ticketing; leave the original safely stowed at your hotel.
