Travel Advice for the 8-Day Egypt Itinerary

Best Seasons to Visit

  • October to April (Winter and Spring):
    • The most pleasant time to visit Egypt, with mild temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). Ideal for exploring outdoor sites like the Pyramids of Giza and Luxor temples.
  • May to September (Summer):
    • While hotter (35°C to 45°C or 95°F to 113°F), this period can still be enjoyable, especially for travelers accustomed to warmer climates. Early morning tours and Nile breezes make it manageable.

What to wear

  • For Sightseeing:
    • Lightweight, breathable clothing made from cotton or linen to stay cool in Egypt’s warm climate.
    • Comfortable walking shoes for exploring temples and archaeological sites.
  • For Cultural Sensitivity:
    • Modest attire is recommended, especially in mosques or rural areas. Cover shoulders and knees to respect local customs.
    • A scarf or shawl for women when visiting religious sites.
  • For the Nile Cruise:
    • Casual outfits during the day.
    • A slightly dressier outfit for evening dinners or the Galabeya party.
  • Accessories:
    • A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect against the strong sun.
    • A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.

Cultural Etiquette

  • Photography:
    • Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially in rural areas.
    • Avoid photographing military installations or officials.
  • Tipping (Baksheesh):
    • Tipping is customary in Egypt. Keep small bills handy for guides, drivers, hotel staff, and local vendors.
  • Respect Religious Practices:
    • Be mindful of prayer times and avoid loud conversations or disruptions near mosques.
    • During Ramadan, public eating, drinking, or smoking during daylight hours is discouraged.
  • Interactions with Locals:
    • Egyptians are known for their hospitality. A friendly “Shukran” (thank you) or “Salaam Alaikum” (peace be upon you) goes a long way.

Additional Tips

  • Health and Safety:
    • Drink bottled water only and avoid raw or street food if you have a sensitive stomach.
    • Carry basic medications, including for motion sickness if taking a Nile cruise.
  • Currency:
    • The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is widely used. Cash is preferred in markets and smaller establishments.
  • Language:
    • While Arabic is the official language, many locals in tourist areas speak English, Spanish, and other languages.
  • Pack for the Season:
    • A light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings in winter.
