This depends on the details of the private tour you choose or intend to sign up for. A half-day tour of Cairo can include visits to both historical and cultural places.

Among the historical places that the tour may include:
The pyramids and sphinx in Giza.
The Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo.
Among the cultural places that may be part of the tour:
Bazaars and traditional markets for a shopping experience.
Modern areas in the city center to enjoy urban life.

Light fabrics, such as linen and cotton, and athletic gear designed to withstand the heat are ideal. Just remember to cover your shoulders to below the knees. While women are expected to dress more conservatively than men, men should also avoid wearing short shorts and tight singlets.
 

Try to spread out your visit across at least two and half days, maybe taking it slow and only seeing one floor at a time, as there is an incredible amount to see.
