Sun protection is essential
Bring a wide-brim hat, sunscreen and sunglasses—UV is strong on the river even near sunset.
Wear sturdy shoes for Karnak
The temple grounds have uneven stone, sand, and steps—closed-toe shoes reduce slips and dust in your shoes.
Carry small bills
Bring small Egyptian pounds for tips, snacks, or restroom fees near tourist sites.
Plan for limited wind
If the breeze dies, operators use a motor tow—ask about this option if you prefer pure sailing.
