That may help you decide what will carry the gear in the most convenient manner for you.
The luxury of multiple lenses may cause you to miss a shot because you can't decide on what focal length gets the shot best for you, whereas with the one lens you know your capabilities and you make the shot work with the minimal kit. That's just because I enjoy single lens setups, maybe you would prefer 3 lenses or more to choose from, a spare lens for backup is a good idea though. Trust your kit I guess!
Remember the weight of a lens on lensboard really adds up in the end, as does the volume of DDS holders you'll carry. Will you be taking a changing bag with you so you can transfer exposed shots into a spare box, and reload your holders?
Giza = Sand, right? Watch out for that, I'm sure you know all the dangers of delicate parts and dust and dirt.
As much as I love my field cameras, I'd only ever travel with the Razzle since it's handheld. That takes out a lot of the bulk from tripods. At worst I could always take a monopod.
Watch out with taking too many cameras, same reason as too many lenses.
