Dress conservatively
Wear lightweight, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees to respect local customs and to stay comfortable in sun and museum interiors.
Hydrate early and often
Carry or refill a 1–2L water bottle—bottled water is typically provided but carrying your own avoids lines and keeps you energized.
Wear sturdy shoes
Expect uneven surfaces at Giza and long walking in the museum and bazaar—closed-toe, supportive shoes reduce fatigue.
Keep valuables secure
Use a neck pouch or inside pockets in crowded areas like Khan el-Khalili; sellers are friendly but pickpockets can operate in busy markets.

Shields your face during exposed walks on the Giza Plateau.
