Start at first light
Begin early to avoid midday heat and larger crowds at Giza—most photos and cooler conditions happen before 10:30 AM.
Wear sturdy shoes
Trails are uneven limestone and sand; closed-toe walking shoes with good tread reduce slips and dust entry.
Bring local currency
Small purchases, tips, and optional camel rides are best paid in Egyptian pounds—keep small notes available.
Protect electronics from dust
Use a zip-lock or dustproof pouch for cameras and phones—the desert grit is fine and pervasive.
