How to see the Pyramids and the GEM

The Giza plateau, with the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure and the Great Sphinx, is the first stop for most visitors to Egypt. The site is large and the sun is strong, so the route needs a plan: the panoramic viewpoint first, then the Sphinx terrace, while avoiding unagreed camel and carriage offers. The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) stands close to the plateau and displays a large part of the Tutankhamun collection and the Grand Staircase of royal statues; allow at least half a day. South of Giza, Saqqara has the Step Pyramid of Djoser and Dahshur has the Bent and Red pyramids: quieter sites where you can get close, ideal for a second visit or for archaeology fans.

Tips for Giza

Go early: fewer people, cooler air and better light.
Wear good shoes and a hat; carry water and sunscreen.
Entering a pyramid and some special areas needs an extra ticket; follow the site notice on the day.
Agree the route and duration before any camel or carriage ride, ideally through your guide.
The GEM is huge: decide which galleries matter most before you go.

What to see in Cairo

Cairo layers thousands of years in one city. Islamic Cairo has the Citadel of Saladin, the Muhammad Ali Mosque, Al-Azhar Mosque and Al-Muizz Street, which is at its best lit up at night; Khan el-Khalili bazaar is the place for brass, spices and souvenirs. Coptic Cairo has the Hanging Church and the Coptic Museum, next to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) with its Royal Mummies Hall. The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir holds a vast collection of antiquities. In the evening you can go up Cairo Tower, sail a felucca or take a Nile dinner cruise. Traffic is heavy, so group sights from the same district on the same day.

Tips for Cairo

Dress modestly for mosques and churches; women may want a scarf.
Avoid crossing the city at rush hour.
In bazaars ask first, pay second, and check hallmarks on gold and silver.
Choose busy street-food places and drink bottled water.
On night walks stay with your group and keep valuables in front of you.
