Comfortable, flat walking shoes are recommended; you'll cover uneven ground at both the Giza Plateau and the Saqqara complex, much of it on sand and stone with no shade. Egypt's sun is strong year-round; a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses are worth bringing regardless of season.
There's no strict dress code enforced at Giza or Saqqara, but modest clothing (shoulders and knees covered) is generally more comfortable and respectful, especially if your guide takes you near any mosque or during Ramadan.
Entry inside the Great Pyramid itself is not included in the standard tour and can be added on-site for an extra fee, subject to availability that day. Ask your guide if you'd like to go in. Camera/video tickets at some sites also carry a small separate charge.
The Saqqara complex includes multiple tombs; which ones are open to visitors can vary day-to-day due to conservation work, so your guide will confirm on-site.
