You will need more money if you choose any of these optional offerings: 

· Optional Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids: lights illuminate the ancient monuments. $45.

· Optional entry inside the Great Pyramid – 360 Egyptian pounds (about $22)

· Optional photo permit inside the Egyptian Museum - 50 Egyptian pounds (about $3)

You will also need money for drinks and souvenirs, and only you know how much you’ll need for those!! 

Merchants in the souks do not take credit cards, so you will need cash for purchases in the marketplaces. (Larger stores and shops for larger/better quality items such as rugs, jewelry, papyrus, alabaster, and essential oils DO take credit cards).

I recommend bringing a bunch of one dollar bills (25-50) to use for tips and small purchases.

This program is active. Walking is done over uneven surfaces and steps. Expect most days of sightseeing to require three to four hours of walking as well as a considerable time standing. Our vehicles have set drop off and pick up points, that result in extra walking to and from the sights. The pacing is active as many sites are included.
