Sun protection is mandatory
Bring a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses—shade is scarce and midday sun can be intense.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Expect sandy, uneven ground and short climbs; durable walking shoes will keep you stable and comfortable.
Carry local cash
Small vendors and tipping for camel handlers often require Egyptian pounds, so have small bills on hand.
Respect restricted areas
Do not climb on the monuments or cross ropes—these measures help protect fragile masonry and preserve the site.
Sturdy walking shoes
