Egypt Tours and Trips

Egypt is very safe to travel as long as you stick to certain destinations, work with a reputable local tour operator, and be a smart traveller.

The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when temperatures are cooler, but still pleasantly warm across the country.

This makes exploring the busy streets of Cairo, visiting the Pyramids in the desert, and exploring ancient Pharaonic tombs more comfortable and enjoyable.

If you are looking to enjoy the main highlights of Egypt, seven days will be enough.

One week is the perfect amount of time for touring Egypt.

This allows you to see places like Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor while cruising along the Nile River.

There really is no dress code in Egypt for tourists.

But, you should know that Egyptian men dress rather smartly and are rather conservative – both the Islamic majority and the Christian minority.

You will see most men in shirts, long trousers, and leather shoes. Rather no jeans, no t-shirts.

Don’t drink the tap water.

Water is not properly filtered, It is also not advisable to brush your teeth with tap water in certain areas of Egypt, including Dahab.

Buy bottled water and use that to brush your teeth.

If weather is your primary concern, the best time to visit Egypt is during the northern hemisphere fall, winter or early spring (October to April), when temperatures are lower. To avoid the crowds at ancient sites like the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, and Abu Simbel, try to avoid peak season (December and January).

For the Pyramids, you can walk right up to them and yes, you can go inside one.

The Giza Plateau is one of the great wonders of the world.

As for the Sphynx, you cannot walk up to it and touch it, but that is not such a great loss after visiting and touching the Pyramids.

Crowds and Costs

Despite the heat throughout the country, July is a fantastic time to visit Egypt due to the significant drop in tourist numbers.

Egypt is blessed with a whole lot of sunshine and very little rain.

Generally, the hottest months are June through to August, and the coolest month is January.

Rainfall is almost non-existent, except on the coast – when it does happen it’s during the winter months (December–March).

Compared with places like Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, Egypt is cheaper to visit.

Traveling through Egypt is similar in price to traveling through Southeast Asia.

If you are a budget traveler, you can see and do a lot in Egypt without spending a lot of money.

Egypt trip cost

I estimate that 8 days in Egypt, including a Nile River cruise and professional, private guides, will cost approximately few thousands dollars per person.

Not bad considering this estimate also includes private guides for all of the sites and attractions.

The great majority of its people live near the banks of the Nile River, an area of about 40,000 square kilometres (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable land is found.

Egypt is considered to be a regional power in North Africa, the Middle East and the Muslim world, and a middle power worldwide.

Egypt has a rich history and culture dating back thousands of years, starting with the Pharaonic culture, then Christianity and Islam.

Egypt is among the earliest civilizations.

Its culture has been affected by many other cultures and ethnic groups who either lived in or invaded the country, creating a melting pot.

Islam is the official religion in Egypt.

Christianity is the second largest religion in Egypt.
Verifiable data available from Egyptian censuses, and other large-scale nationwide surveys indicate that Christians presently constitute around 5% of the Egyptian population.

Egyptians speak Modern Standard Arabic language

The official language of Egypt is Arabic, although many Egyptians (especially younger people) speak and understand English, as well as many other European languages.
