Opening & Daily Rhythm
- Mornings are cooler and clearer; start with interiors.
- Late afternoons bring warm side light—great for pyramid contours and Sphinx portraits.
Seasonal Snapshot
| Season | Temperatures | Crowds | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winter (Dec–Feb) | Mild–cool | Moderate (holidays peak) | Crisp air for long views |
| Spring (Mar–May) | Warming | Rising | Watch for occasional dusty winds |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | Hot | High | Prioritize early/late slots, hydrate |
| Autumn (Sep–Nov) | Cooling | Moderate | Warm sunset hues, pleasant temps |
Light for Photography
- Morning: clean light, fewer silhouettes; long shadows from east.
- Afternoon: warmer tones, strong shape modeling; west light across faces.
- Blue hour: skyline silhouettes from plateau edges.
Clothing & Comfort
- Breathable long sleeves, hat, sunglasses, SPF 50, sturdy shoes.
- Bring cash for water; card acceptance varies around the plateau.
Bottom Line
If you can choose, aim for a cool-season weekday morning or a shoulder-season late afternoon. Split heavy walking between these two windows when possible.
