Most travelers require a visa. Many nationalities can obtain an e-visa online or purchase a visa on arrival at Cairo, Hurghada, or Sharm El Sheikh airports. Check your nationality’s requirements before traveling.
Is Egypt safe to visit?
Yes. Egypt is generally safe for tourists, especially in major destinations like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, and Sharm El Sheikh. Tourist areas are well-patrolled, and security is high. As with any destination, stay aware of your surroundings and follow local guidance.

The best time is October to April, when the weather is cooler and perfect for sightseeing. Summer (June–August) is very hot, especially in Upper Egypt, but ideal for Red Sea resorts.

How many days do I need to see Egypt's main highlights?
Most travelers see Cairo, Giza, Luxor and Aswan comfortably in 7 to 10 days. If you want to add the Red Sea, Jordan or a longer Nile cruise, 12 to 14 days gives a more relaxed pace. We can tailor the itinerary length to match the time you have.
Can I customize a tour package to fit my schedule?
Yes. Every package on our site can be adjusted — extend or shorten the itinerary, swap hotels, add or remove destinations, or change the pace. Contact us with your dates and preferences and we'll build a version that fits.
What is included in a typical Egypt tour package?
Our packages typically include accommodation, private transfers, an English-speaking guide, entrance fees to the listed sites, and the meals stated in the itinerary. Each program page lists exactly what's included and excluded, so check that section before booking.

Are Egypt tours suitable for families with children?
Yes. Many of our itineraries can be adapted for families, with a slower pace, family-friendly hotels, and activities like felucca rides or camel rides that children enjoy. Let us know the ages of your children when booking so we can adjust the plan.

Lightweight, breathable clothing, a hat and sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket for cooler evenings or winter months, and modest clothing (covered shoulders and knees) for visiting mosques and churches.

No vaccinations are mandatory for most travelers, though routine vaccinations should be up to date. We recommend checking with your doctor or a travel clinic before your trip, since recommendations can change and depend on your travel history.
What is the difference between a private and a group tour?
A private tour gives you your own guide, driver and vehicle, with full flexibility over timing and pace. A group tour is shared with other travelers on a fixed schedule, usually at a lower price. Both options are available on most of our itineraries.
Can I combine Egypt with other destinations like Jordan or Dubai?
Yes. We offer combined itineraries pairing Egypt with Jordan, Dubai, Morocco and other destinations. These multi-country packages are listed alongside our standard Egypt-only tours.

Tipping (locally called 'baksheesh') is customary in Egypt for guides, drivers and hotel staff. Amounts vary by service, and your guide can advise on typical amounts during the trip.

Arabic is the official language, but English is widely spoken in tourism. All our guides are fluent English speakers, and guides in other languages can be arranged on request.

Cancellation terms depend on the specific package and how close to departure you cancel. Please contact our team or check the booking terms for the exact policy on your chosen tour.
Do I need travel insurance for my trip to Egypt?
We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellation and lost luggage, as with any international trip.

Most hotels and Nile cruise ships offer Wi-Fi, though the connection can be slower in remote areas. A local SIM card with data is inexpensive and widely available on arrival if you want reliable mobile coverage throughout your trip.

Our packages range from comfortable 4-star hotels to 5-star luxury properties and Nile cruise ships, depending on the tour category. Each program page specifies the hotel category, and upgrades are usually available on request.

Yes. Egyptian cuisine includes many vegetarian dishes, and halal food is standard. Let us know about any dietary requirements or allergies when booking so your guide and hotels can be informed in advance.

Do I need to book domestic flights separately for Luxor and Aswan?
