FAQs/Essential Information

Everything you need to know before you go.

What is the best time of year to visit Egypt?
expand_more

The most comfortable weather occurs during the spring (February to April) and autumn (October and November). These months offer mild temperatures perfect for exploring ancient sites without the intense, scorching heat of the Egyptian summer, which can easily exceed 40°C

Do I need a visa to enter Egypt?
expand_more

Most international travelers can obtain an e-visa online or a visa-on-arrival at major airports (like Cairo International). Requirements vary by nationality, so we recommend verifying your status well in advance. Always keep a printed copy of your visa confirmation and accommodation details to ensure a seamless immigration experience.

Is Egypt safe for tourists in 2026?
expand_more

Yes, Egypt remains one of the most stable and popular tourist destinations globally. The country has a long-standing commitment to tourism safety, and standard travel precautions are all that is required for a secure, immersive experience.

What is the currency in Egypt, and how do I pay?
expand_more

The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). While major hotels and upscale retailers accept international credit/debit cards, cash is essential for local markets, smaller vendors, and tipping. We recommend carrying a mix of cash and a travel-friendly card for convenience.

Is English widely spoken?
expand_more

English is commonly spoken in all major tourist areas, hotels, and by professional tour guides. You will find that those working in the tourism industry are often multi-lingual and highly skilled at assisting international travelers.

What should I pack for an Egyptian holiday?
expand_more

Pack "cool and conservative." Choose loose, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. While beach resorts have relaxed dress codes, it is respectful to keep shoulders and knees covered when visiting cities or religious sites. Don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat, high-quality sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes for uneven temple grounds.

Is tipping common in Egypt?
expand_more

Yes, tipping (baksheesh) is a deeply ingrained part of Egyptian culture. It is an expected way to show appreciation for good service, and it forms an important part of the income for those in the service industry, from drivers to hotel staff.

Is Egypt family-friendly?
expand_more

Egypt is a wonderful destination for families, offering an incredible history lesson that truly comes to life. We recommend scheduling sightseeing in the cooler morning hours and choosing kid-friendly resorts with pools to balance out the adventurous days spent exploring temples and pyramids.

What are the "must-see" highlights for first-time visitors?
expand_more

Beyond the iconic Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, we curate experiences to include the Grand Egyptian Museum, the bustling Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo, the monumental Karnak and Luxor temples, and the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings.
