You leave Cairo before the city fully wakes; the highway thins, and the plateau of Giza rises from the haze like a working landscape shaped by millennia. Sunlight catches the stepped edges of the Great Pyramid as camels rest against a horizon of limestone and sand, and your guide outlines the day ahead: pyramids, the Sphinx, a short camel ride, then the Egyptian Museum's cool rooms of gold and stone.

Hydrate and refill

Sun protection

Wear sturdy shoes
Closed-toe shoes with good traction help on loose sand and the uneven stone around monuments and temple steps.
Mind the rules and guides
Do not climb on monuments and follow your guide's directions—this protects you and fragile archaeology; tip guides and drivers if service is good.
