What is the recommended Summer time dress code to visit the pyramids? I am assuming closed shoes due to the gravel. What about pants vs long shorts? Want to respect where we are going, but know it will be 100F/40C or higher.
A:
Yes pants are fine. A scarf or cover for your hair would be respectful. It is hot in summer so a hat or sun umbrella might be helpfl
Hi, what is the cost to go and return for Memphis/Sakkara from Giza?
A:
So sorry, our trip was just one part of an organised tour. I believe you can find independent guides but we were so happy with On The Go holiday i would recommend you contact them.

Whichever tour company or guide you use make sure that you are firm about what YOU want to see and do not be rushed around the sites then be taken to a relative`s bazaar,shop or workshop.There are carpet factories on the road to Sakkara,over-priced and hard sell.At Sakkara,visit the Step Pyramid complex and the many roomed tombs of Mereruka and Kagemeni.The horse and camel guys are very persistent at both Sakkara and Giza.If you use them,do not pay until you get back as they can demand extra for the return journey!The hawkers should be avoided unless you see an item you really must have!There are scammers who will tell you they are official "guardians"and will try to relieve you of your ticket then ask for money to get it back to give to the correct ticket collector.This happens in full view of the security staff.So be aware,be firm,and enjoy your memorable visit.
