Insider tips

  • Arrive at the Pyramids early (first stop after landing) to beat crowds and midday heat—photos are sharpest before 10am
  • The Egyptian Museum's lighting is dim; bring a torch or phone light to read artifact labels clearly
  • Haggling at Khan El-Khalili is expected—start at 50% of the asking price and negotiate up; shop during late afternoon when stall owners are more flexible
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes; you'll cover 3+ miles on uneven ground at Giza and through winding bazaar alleys

Good to know

  • Round-trip airfare and ground transport are included; no driving required
  • Bring sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and at least 1.5L of water—the Giza plateau offers minimal shade

  • Museum and bazaar have variable accessibility; uneven surfaces and crowded passageways
