If the bus air conditioning works well, some tourists leave the driver a small tip right on board — no need to haggle, it's a small amount.
Shuttle buses fill up almost immediately and depart without delay, with the next one arriving right away — no crowds or long queues.
There's a paid restroom on site, but card payment isn't always available — better to carry some small cash in Egyptian pounds.

A camel ride near the Sphinx officially costs 1000 EGP per hour; if you decline, vendors may offer to let two people ride together for the same price.

Souvenir vendors near the pyramids are polite: after a calm refusal they don't push further. Souvenirs are offered from $1, though in practice it's hard to actually buy something that cheap unless your bus stop is long.
