Travel Tips for Your Egypt Trip
When is the best time to visit Egypt?

December to February are the most popular times to visit Egypt, but we recommend visiting in the shoulder season of spring and fall, specifically from March to May and September to November.

From March to May and September to November, you can enjoy more comfortable temperatures on tours to Egypt. The spring and fall is much cooler than in summer, not as cold as winter, and also not as crowded in the more popular destinations around the country, such as Cairo and Luxor.

While these months are our favorites, Egypt surprises travelers by being a year-round destination offering more beyond the ancient sites in Cairo. You can relax at a Red Sea resort in summer or enjoy a Nile cruise down to Aswan in winter, and our guide on the best time to visit Egypt can help you find the right month for your trip.

Where should I visit in Egypt?

From the bustling streets of Cairo to the ancient ruins decorating Luxor, the gorgeous waters of the Red Sea at Hurghada to the Coptic churches in Alexandria, there are endless possibilities to explore on tours of Egypt.

Here are a few of the best places to visit in Egypt:

  • Cairo: The capital of Egypt and a bridge between the layers of the country’s history, Cairo is energetic and colorful. From elegant mosques to vibrant market lanes, Cairo gives you access to contemporary life and acts as a gateway to the ancient world.
  • Luxor: Often called the world’s greatest open-air museum, Luxor displays its history along the contemporary streets spreading through the oasis on the Nile’s riverbanks.
  • Aswan: If Cairo is a burst of endless energy, Aswan is its serene opposite. Acting as the bridge between Egypt and continental Africa, the city is a breath of uniqueness among colorful villages, gardens, and a mixture of ancient Nubian and Egyptian heritage.
What should I do in Egypt?

From visiting ancient temples in Luxor to climbing into the Great Pyramid of Giza, sailing on the Nile to birdwatching in Aswan, here are some of the top things to do in Egypt:

  • Whether on horseback, camel-back, or by foot, visit the Egyptian pyramids
  • Enjoy the beauty of the Nile and the surrounding lushness on a luxury cruise
  • Set sail along the Nile River on a traditional felucca boat
  • Wander the marketplaces and bazaars in search of traditional items from tea sets to lights, clothing to iconography
  • Snorkel or scuba on the Red Sea, exploring a number of world-renowned spots known for their pristine marine life and coral
  • Sample traditional Egyptian and Nubian cuisine with a private cooking class
  • View the stunning scenery and history from the sky on a hot-air-balloon
What should I see in Egypt?

Whether looking at Egypt tour packages on the Red Sea coastline, that include the desert cities, or that visit exciting places like Alexandria, here are some of our favorite things to see in Egypt:

  • Pyramids of Giza, Giza
  • The Great Sphinx, Giza
  • Valley of the Kings, Luxor
  • Valley of the Queens, Luxor
  • Abu Simbel, Abu Simbel
  • Khan el-Khalili, Cairo
  • Mosque of Ibn Tulun, Cairo
  • Saqqara Step Pyramids, Saqqara
  • Dendera Temple, Qena
  • Philae Temple, Aswan
What is Egypt known for?

Egypt is known for its ancient ruins and artifacts. With monuments dedicated to pharaohs and queens, as well as museums overflowing with sensational heirlooms and relics preserved for over 5,000 years, Egypt can take you back in time. Whether on an Egypt trip for seniors, traveling with kids, or looking for adventure, you can experience how the remnants of ancient civilizations have survived while exploring the layers of culture that supports contemporary life in Egypt.

How many days do I need for a Nile cruise?

A Nile River cruise is typically three or four nights. When starting in Luxor and traveling down to Aswan, it generally takes four nights. When traveling from Aswan to Luxor, the Nile River cruise is typically three nights. No matter the direction of your travel, a cruise stops to visit Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo Temple. You can include a Nile Cruise during luxury Egypt tours to enjoy the full experience.

Is Egypt safe to visit?

It is safe to travel to Egypt.

Popular destinations like the Pyramids of Giza or Luxor are world-renowned attractions, and crime is generally low around these areas. Like anywhere in the world, petty theft, such as pickpocketing, can occur in populated areas, so stay aware of your belongings.

During trips in Egypt, follow the guidance of your local travel expert who can give you more detailed advice on ways to stay safe and comfortable.

What are your most popular Egypt itineraries?

Whether on a Nile Cruise or at a Red Sea resort, explore Egypt with our best Egypt itineraries. No matter your reasons for visiting Egypt on vacation, you can customize your trip with our local travel specialists to create the best Egypt itinerary for you based on our popular tours:
