Egypt is a country that receives millions of tourists who are interested in caring for and keeping them safe. The country of the Nile is safe nowadays, especially the areas of tourist interest, which are the ones that interest you: Cairo, the Nile, the Giza pyramids, Luxor, Abu Simbel…

You can travel alone, take a romantic tour with your partner and children without any problem and with the normal precautions you would have anywhere else.

If there is one thing that should worry you about Egypt, it is heat and dehydration.

Egypt is characterized by many tourist areas, which are an important source of national income for the state, and on the other hand, the country makes many efforts for tourism development. Egypt was distinguished by many tourist areas, including the monastery of St. Catherine, the Luxor Temple and Hatshepsut, the pyramids and many coastal cities such as Hurghada and Alexandria with their monuments.

Visitors to Egypt must obtain an application for a visa to visit Egypt from the Egyptian embassies and consulates in their country and have a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining, given that this process may take weeks for the Egyptian authorities to agree to visit Egypt. Or if you are a citizen of these countries (Australia & Canada & Japan & New Zealand & Malaysia & the United States) you can obtain a visa upon arrival for 25 US dollars.

Egypt is a very warm country but its temperatures also vary greatly depending on the time of year and the area. The best dates to know Egypt are those of spring and autumn.

It’s recommended not to travel to Egypt in summer. So avoid the full August except if you go to the Red Sea, where the temperatures are more agreeable and you can go to the beach and practice skin-diving. In winter the nights can be quite cold, for what it’s in the habit of recommending to avoid also December, January and February.

Pay attention to Ramadan, in spring or summer. On these days, Muslims do not eat or drink while the sun is shining. You can find many establishments closed and the rhythm of the cities decreases a lot. Keep this in mind.

No problem. You won’t find the typical comforts such as diaper changing facilities, child seats in the vehicles or adapted parks, but the attitude of the Egyptians is especially kind to children. The country is safe and comfortable in that respect.

Yes, women can travel alone in Egypt while taking normal precautions.

If you are a woman and you are thinking of flying to the magical country of the pyramids, try to wear loose clothing that covers your shoulders and legs. Take a handkerchief to cover your head, you will need it to enter some temples and mosques.

This decision is very personal. we prefer to make the trip to Egypt organized by a travel agency since, that way, you don’t have to worry about anything and you just enjoy the experience. (unless you have extensive knowledge of Egyptology) we think it is important that your private guide explains what you’re seeing in each moment, as well as a brief explanation of the historical context of each monument and details about the culture and customs of the country.
