Start early to beat the heat
Begin at first light when temperatures are cooler and light is best for photos; the site gets hot quickly by late morning.
Bring cash for tips and bazaar purchases
Small vendors and museum services often expect cash; carry small denominations of Egyptian pounds.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Sandy, uneven terrain around the pyramids and museum stairs are easier and safer with supportive footwear.
Respect dress norms
Dress smart-casual with shoulders and knees covered when visiting crowded public spaces and religious sites to avoid attention.
