Yes, Egypt is generally considered safe for tourists, especially in areas like Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan that are accustomed to welcoming travelers. Tourism is a key part of the economy, so there is significant security at major attractions. However, as with any destination, it’s wise to stay aware of your surroundings, avoid isolated areas, and follow local safety advice. There are tourist police and soldiers stationed at major sites to ensure security.
The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April when temperatures are milder, ranging from 68 to 95°F (20 to 35°C) during the day. This period is ideal for sightseeing, especially at outdoor sites like the Pyramids of Giza and Valley of the Kings. Summer months (May to September) can be extremely hot, with fewer tourists, but air conditioning is widely available. Visiting during Ramadan may also offer unique cultural experiences, though some daytime services may be limited.
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees (especially important when visiting religious sites). Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring archaeological sites. Don’t forget sun protection: hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. For winter visits (December-February), bring layers as evenings can be cool. A small daypack for carrying water, camera, and essentials during excursions is highly recommended.
The Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the temples of Luxor and Karnak are iconic attractions. A Nile River cruise is also a popular way to see temples like Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, and Edfu. Don’t miss the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and soon, the Grand Egyptian Museum, which will house the entire collection of artifacts from King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Yes, many companies offer all-inclusive Egypt tours that cover accommodation, meals, and guided sightseeing. These tours often include key destinations like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Nile River cruises, making travel planning much easier for first-time visitors. Look for packages that include entrance fees to major attractions and domestic travel within Egypt to maximize convenience.
Absolutely! While we offer carefully designed itineraries that balance must-see attractions with authentic experiences, we understand that every traveler is unique. All our Egypt tour packages can be customized to match your interests, pace, and special requirements. Whether you want to add a specific site, extend your stay in a particular location, or incorporate special experiences like hot air ballooning over Luxor, our team will work with you to create your perfect Egyptian journey.
For a well-paced experience that covers Egypt’s major highlights, we recommend 8-10 days at minimum. This allows for 3-4 days in Cairo and the pyramids, plus 4-5 days for a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. If you wish to include extensions to Alexandria, the Red Sea, or desert oases, 12-15 days would provide a more comprehensive experience without feeling rushed.
