Hire a licensed guide from official offices. Avoid unsolicited offers for horses or camel rides to ensure safety and fair pricing.

Use the official Uber app for transparent pricing. Alternatively, take the metro to Giza station then a short taxi ride to avoid traffic delays.

Modest clothing is recommended out of respect. Cover shoulders and knees when entering mosques nearby to comply with local cultural norms.
