Bring passport and any booking confirmation — tickets and pickup require matching ID and passport info for bookings in Egypt.

Sunscreen, sunglasses and a lightweight scarf or buff will cut glare and keep dust out during quad biking.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes are useful on uneven stone at archaeological sites and for sandy, rocky terrain during the quad portion.
