Insider tips

• ★Arrive early at Giza (within the first hour of opening) to avoid midday heat and crowds, and capture the pyramids in softer morning light
• ★Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring plenty of water—the plateau and church sites involve uneven terrain and sun exposure
• ★Ask your guide about lesser-known viewpoints at Giza away from tour-bus clusters for better photography
• ★The Coptic Cairo area can feel narrow and intense; stay close to your guide and be respectful when entering active churches
