The biggest mistake is trying to see too much every day. Egypt's major sites can involve heat, stairs, uneven ground, early starts, and long walks.
Slow the schedule
· Choose fewer major sites per day.
· Keep meal and rest breaks.
· Avoid unnecessary hotel changes.
Ask about physical access
· Some tombs use stairs and narrow passages.
· Pyramid interiors can be difficult for people with limited mobility.
· Large temple sites involve outdoor walking.
Use private transfers when possible
· They reduce waiting and make it easier to return to the hotel early.
· Keep water and medicine easy to reach.
Choose the right trip length
· Five days can work if focused.
· Seven or eight days gives more room to spread out sightseeing.
