Giza — The Classic Done Right
A 70–200mm from the panorama point compresses all three pyramids onto the horizon line; go at opening or an hour before closing for side-light.
Karnak — Corridor of Columns
Stand centered in the Great Hypostyle Hall at 24mm and let the columns stack; early light rakes between them.
Abu Simbel — The Interior Problem
No tripods and dim sanctuaries: shoot fast, steady against a column, and respect the no-flash rules inside the sanctuary itself.
People, Politely
Always ask before portraits — most say yes, many ask for a copy, and the resulting frames beat any posed stock photo.
