Insider tips

  • ★Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat and sunscreen—you'll spend significant time outdoors at Giza and the Citadel
  • ★Ask your guide for the best entrances to Khan El Khalili; main tourist routes can be overwhelming mid-afternoon

Good to know

  • •Cruise ship pickup and return included; confirm departure time with your port agent the evening before
  • •Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites like the Citadel; shoulders and knees should be covered
  • •The pace is brisk due to time constraints; this tour prioritises major sights over leisurely exploration
