All about Egypt
When to Visit
The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April when the weather is cooler, ranging from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). This period is ideal for exploring outdoor sites like the pyramids and temples. Summers, from May to September, can be extremely hot, especially in southern Egypt, with temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F). However, if you plan to visit coastal areas like the Red Sea or the Mediterranean, summer can still be enjoyable due to cooler sea breezes. Also, note that Ramadan, a significant religious month, may affect business hours and activities, so planning accordingly is advisable.
Getting Around
Egypt offers various transportation options for tourists. Domestic flights connect major cities like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Sharm El-Sheikh. Trains are a comfortable option for traveling between Cairo, Alexandria, and Luxor. Buses and shared minibusses are available for regional travel but can be crowded. In cities, taxis, Uber, and Careem are common and affordable, but always negotiate taxi fares in advance. For a unique experience, take a traditional felucca boat ride on the Nile. Driving is possible but can be challenging due to traffic and different driving norms.
Traveler Tips
When visiting Egypt, dress modestly, especially at religious sites. Lightweight clothing is recommended due to the heat, but bring layers for cool desert nights. Always stay hydrated and carry bottled water. Bargaining is common in markets, so don’t hesitate to negotiate prices. Use sunscreen and wear a hat when exploring outdoor sites. While tipping isn’t mandatory, it’s customary to tip service staff, drivers, and guides. Lastly, be cautious with street food and drink only sealed bottled water to avoid stomach issues. Following these tips will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable holiday in Egypt.
