Flash photography is strictly prohibited inside royal burial chambers to preserve ancient organic pigments. Tripods require a special permit. Always politely ask with a smile before photographing local artisans.

Cover shoulders and knees when exploring active mosques, Coptic monasteries, and heritage souks. Loose, breathable linen or cotton garments provide optimal cooling under the sun.
