Beat the heat
Start outdoor visits before 10:30 AM and carry sunscreen—Egyptian sun is intense even in shoulder seasons.
Carry local cash
Bring small Egyptian pound notes for tips, small purchases in Khan el-Khalili, and camel photos—card machines are rare in the bazaar.
Wear sturdy shoes
Ruins and plateau trails are uneven and can be dusty; closed-toe walking shoes reduce slips and provide ankle support.
Respect restricted areas
Some tomb interiors and museum exhibits prohibit photography or touching; follow your guide to avoid fines and preserve artifacts.
