Early starts beat the heat
Arrive at Giza with first light to avoid midday heat and crowds; plan hotel pickup one hour earlier than suggested to leave room for airport timing.
Stay hydrated and carry snacks
Egypt’s dry heat and long walking between sites make a refillable water bottle and small snacks essential—shops are available but lines form at peak times.
Dress respectfully for religious sites
Wear shoulders-and-knees coverage for mosques and some churches; a lightweight scarf or shawl is a simple, packable solution.
Keep small cash for tips and entry
Many sites and local restaurants expect small Egyptian pound payments and tipping for guides and drivers; ATMs are available but not everywhere.
Comfortable walking shoes
Sturdy, broken-in shoes handle uneven limestone, stairs and museum floors.
Wide-brim hat & sunscreen
Protects against strong sun on the open Giza plateau and during midday transfers.
