"I'll take you back in time to a land of ancient pyramids, royal tombs filled with gold and the mighty Nile, the world's longest river"

Travel Director

View the Great Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza

We’ll take you deep into a history that spans millennia in the old kingdom of Egypt. Marvel at the Great Pyramids of Giza, the oldest of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, and the only one to remain largely untouched. You’ll also meet the mythical Great Sphinx, one of the world’s oldest statues.

Wander through the Botanical Gardens on Kitchener's Island

See the locals fishing in the Nile waters, as we sail in a felucca to the Aswan Botanical Gardens on Kitchener’s Island. The island is peaceful and green, with a collection of rare and exotic plants that was initiated by Lord Kitchener. Roam the gardens and discover towering palms and views of the Nile.

See the Sultan Hassan Mosques in Cairo

Set in Cairo’s Old Town, the Sultan Hassan Mosque is one of the world’s most important mosques and a remarkable historical monument. It was constructed during the 14th century during the reign of Sultan Hassan, and you’ll marvel at the massive size and beautiful Mamluk architecture of the building.

Visit the Temple of Isis on the island of Philae

Take a boat ride to Philae Island, set between the Aswan Dams, where you’ll discover the ancient temple built to honor the goddess Isis. We’ll also take you to a Roman style theater on the island, for a retelling of the eternal Nile flood and the legends of the goddesses Isis and Hathor.

Be amazed by the Sound and Light show in Giza

We’ll return to the Great Pyramids of Giza after dark, where you’ll watch the pyramids light up in a dazzling sound and light show. You’ll learn the history of ancient Egypt as Egyptian Pharaohs rise to tell their stories, while lasers and lightbeams illuminate the walls of the ancient pyramids.

Our top 5 things to do in Egypt

Our Egypt holiday packages will reveal all the mysteries of Egypt, from monumental mosques and ancient temples, to the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Luxor Museum

With a massive collection of relics gathered from tombs and temples, the Luxor Museum is one of the best museums in Egypt. You can see treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun, the royal mummies of two pharaohs, and antiquities dating from the end of the Old Kingdom to the Mamluk period.

The Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum contains one of the world’s most important collections of ancient Egyptian antiquities. There are 120,000 item and you’ll discover jewellery, toys, the mummies of great pharaohs, and riches from the tomb of King Tutankhamen, including the Gold Mask of Tutankhamen, made of 11 kilograms of solid gold.

Deir El-bahri

Queen Hatshepsut's Temple

Built for the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut, the Temple of Hatshepsut is one of the most extraordinary monuments of ancient Egypt. Carved into the towering limestone cliffs, the temple contains a chapel, sun court and sanctuary, and terraces that were once covered in frankincense and myrrh trees.

Best museums in Egypt

Our Egypt guided tours delve into the vast history of the country, with visits to the top museums including the Luxor and the grand Temple of Hatshepsut.

Hamam Mahshi

In Egypt, pigeons are marinated and stuffed with rice or freekeh, onions, giblets and a variety of spices like cumin, pepper and cinnamon. The whole bird is then grilled or spit-roasted, and while Egyptians traditionally eat hamam mahshi during celebratory occasions, you can also find it in restaurants around the country.

A classic Egyptian dish made of pita bread stuffed with minced meat, onions, parsley and onions, which is then baked in an oven. It’s traditionally made in Egyptian homes, although our Local Specialists will show you the best restaurants to try this delicious dish.

Kushari is Egypt’s favorite fast food, made from a bowl of macaroni, chickpeas, rice and black lentils covered in tomato sauce and fried onions. It’s then topped with spicy chilli sauce and garlic vinegar, and it’s one of the tastiest comfort foods in the country.

Best food in Egypt

Our Egypt vacation tours will reveal the country’s incredible cuisine, from classics like kebab and falafel to traditional favorites like hawawshi and kushari.

What to pack for Egypt

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Adaptor plug

In Egypt, the standard voltage is 220 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type C and F. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Comfortable shoes

From exploring the Great Pyramids of Giza, to wandering the Botanical Gardens, you’ll need a comfortable pair of shoes on your Egypt holiday.

Light clothing

Egypt is known for its blazing heat, so it’s best to wear light, loose-fit clothing. Since Egypt is a Muslim country, you’ll need to ensure your shoulders and knees are covered.

The sunshine can be blinding in Egypt, so bring a pair of sunglasses to protect you from the sun rays and the sandy desert.

Protect yourself from the sun with SPF 30 or higher and be sure to apply it regularly. It’s also advised to bring a hat and a light scarf to shield your skin.

Best time to visit egypt.

Egypt is blessed with lots of sunshine and very little rain. Generally, the hottest months are June to August, and the coolest month is January. Rainfall is negligible, except on the coast, with rain usually occurring during the winter months (December to March).

During the summer months (from June to August), daily temperatures can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) - perfect for snorkeling and soaking up the sun on the beaches of Sinai, but can prove challenging for some in the crowded streets and souqs of Cairo.

Choose to escape the crowds by traveling from March to May or September to November when the weather is milder, and there's the opportunity to experience Egypt during Ramadan and the celebrations of Eid (which marks the breaking of the fast). If you are planning to travel during Ramadan, it's important to consider that many restaurants and shops will either be closed or operating at reduced hours.

Culture and customs

Life in Egypt has been in a state of flux since the 2011 revolution. Many of the issues that motivated so many to take to the streets in protest continue to be points of contention, but Egyptians remain hopeful, relying on religion, family and humor to get them through, like they have for thousands of years. A strong sense of community binds people across the country. Families and communities support each other and there is a prevailing sense that everyone is in it together. For all these reasons, most express great pride in being Egyptian, despite their nation’s recent turmoil.

As a largely Muslim country (about 90% of the population is Muslim while most of the remaining 10% identify as Coptic Christian), Islam permeates daily activities. Life revolves around the five daily prayers and everything is closed on Friday, the Muslim holy day. A wide array of cultural norms, including how people dress and interact with the opposite sex, are influenced by religion. Women are largely defined by their role as a mother and matron of the house, whereas men are expected to be the provider.

Many Egyptians consider their country the gateway between the West and the rest of the Arab world, and take pride in their ability to mix tradition with modern influences. This mixing is most apparent in major cities, such as Cairo and Alexandria, where American fast-food chains can be found next to traditional cafes, secular attitudes are more common, and pop music rings through city streets.

Food and drink

With fragrant spices, fresh fruit and vegetables, and delicious sweets on offer, culinary adventures in Egypt are guaranteed. On many Intrepid trips you'll be given the opportunity to dine with a local family – this offers a great chance to see how meals are prepared and learn more about the ingredients.

Things to try in Egypt

1. Hamam mahshi

A north African delicacy, hamam – roasted pigeon stuffed with cracked wheat and rice – can be found on the menu of most traditional Egyptian restaurants. You may need a few to fill up though, as they don’t contain a lot of meat. And be careful of all the tiny bones.

2. Ta'ameya (falafel)

Crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside, these deep-fried balls of spiced fava beans are a Middle Eastern vegetarian staple. Usually served in a pita with salad, pickles, and sesame-based tahina - buy it at a street stall for a quick, cheap meal.

Shops specializing in this popular ‘poor man’s dish’ can be found throughout Cairo. A hearty mix of rice, macaroni and lentils, chickpeas, and fried onions, koshary is topped with a tomato-vinegar sauce.

4. Ful medames

Don't leave Egypt without trying the classic dish of ful medames, which can be traced back to pharaonic times. Consisting of slow-cooked fava beans, served with olive oil, parsley, garlic, and lemon juice - add some spice by seasoning with chili paste and eat with bread.

5. Pastries

Delicious, sweet pastries are found in restaurants, markets, and cafes in Egypt. Never was there a better time to live by the adage ‘Life is short, eat dessert first’.

Egypt is a mostly Muslim country, and any consumption of alcohol here is relatively low-key. There are many fantastic alternatives. Juice stands are common on main streets offering freshly squeezed banana, guava, or mango juice. Karkadai is a chilled, crimson drink brewed from hibiscus leaves (served hot in the winter). And tea (or shai) is the beverage of choice for most Egyptians, which is sipped throughout the day and with meals.

Geography and environment

Located in the northeast corner of Africa, Egypt shares its borders with Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Libya, and Sudan, as well as the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east. The two seas are connected by the man-made Suez Canal.

The remote triangle-shaped peninsula is largely characterized by limestone and desert, but also has a vibrant coral reef along the Red Sea coastline. Hot, dry desert covers most of the country’s terrain, with the Western Desert occupying much of the west, and the Arabian (or Eastern) Desert stretching the length of the eastern coast. These two regions are dissected by the Nile River, which runs the length of the country, emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile Valley, a narrow fertile band extending from the river, is the country’s only fertile land and where 98% of the population lives.

History and government

Recent history.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the infamous pint-sized French leader, invaded Egypt in 1798, seeking to set up a French colony. However, not long after, the French were repelled, and Egypt became a part of the Ottoman Empire once again.

From 1882, the British Army occupied Egypt to protect the Suez Canal. Muhammad Ali officially ruled from the early 1800s, and his family and successors continued to rule for decades (alongside and during British occupation) until overthrown by a military coup in 1952.

During World War II, Egypt became a crucial element in Britain's defense. The Italian Army tried to advance into Egypt in 1940 but was stopped by the British Army at Mersa Matruh. Egypt continued to serve as a vital base for British troops during World War II and despite the disruption, Egypt's shopkeepers and retail trade benefitted from the thousands of Allied troops staying in Egypt.

In 1953, Egypt was officially declared a republic, and a year later, Colonel Nasser was declared Prime Minister, then President. In 1979, after decades of confrontation with neighboring Israel, the historic Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty was signed. This agreement made Egypt the first Arab country to officially recognize Israel as a country - a significant step in the peace process. More recently, in February 2011, large-scale protests and mass demonstrations resulted in the removal of President Mubarak after decades of autocratic rule.

Early history

Ancient Egypt has been the focus of much fascination, investigation, speculation, and intrigue. It's hard to escape the education system without having studied Ancient Egypt in some way. Drawn in by the mighty pyramids, mysterious hieroglyphics, distinct burial rituals and animal-headed gods - scholars, students, historians, and travelers are all amazed by this civilization which has endured cycles of dynastic rule, invasion, and natural disasters.

Through key archaeological finds, historians have been able to unravel some of the mysteries of this great land. What is known is that the daily life of the average Egyptian usually involved working in agriculture with the waters of the Nile providing fertile ground for planting crops. Egyptians usually lived in modest homes with children and domestic pets. Professions were usually inherited - so if your father was a farmer, then so were you.

While most Egyptians led simple lives, dynasties of Pharaohs led lavish lifestyles, with the most well-known being Ramses II, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, and Cleopatra. Huge monuments, imposing pyramids, golden artifacts, and detailed paintings all hold details about pharaonic rule and succession, as well as commonly held beliefs about religion and the afterlife.

Spanning centuries and full of drama worthy of a soap opera, the epic history of Ancient Egypt is complex and we suggest you read about it before visiting.

Top places to visit in Egypt

1. nile river.

Sail down the mighty Nile River on a traditional Egyptian felucca.

Dive into the warm, glittering waters of the Red Sea on a snorkeling adventure in Hurghada.

3. Alexandria

Discover the historic wonders of Alexandria, an ancient port city that locals call the Bride of the Mediterranean Sea.

Experience the bustling energy of Cairo and shop for souvenirs at Cairo's Khan al-Khalili bazaar.

5. Mt Sinai

Hike to the summit of Mt Sinai, which many believe is where Moses received the ten commandments.

Explore the impressive chapels, pylons and obelisks of Karnak Temple.

7. Abu Simbel

These massive monuments dedicated to Ramses II and Queen Nefertari are seriously impressive.

8. Valley of the Kings

King Tut’s treasures may be long gone, but his hieroglyphic-covered tomb remains an incredible sight to see.

Top 10 ancient wonders of Egypt

1. grand designs.

The original grand design - monumental and magnificent - the Pyramids of Giza are an impressive achievement in ancient engineering. Towering above the desert sands and standing proudly for centuries, the first glimpse of these stunning structures will render visitors breathless.

2. Stony enigma

Be captivated by the mysterious aura of the Great Sphinx of Giza. This monolithic mythical beast possesses a lion’s body and a human head - and has sat quietly in the desert sands for eons. Gaze at the Sphinx and try to work out the riddle of its existence.

3. Mighty Nile River

No trip to Egypt is complete without visiting the Nile River - the life force of Egypt that has flowed for centuries. A provider of irrigation, an essential travel route, home to hippos and crocodiles, and now a source of leisure for locals and travelers alike, the Nile is an aquatic link to Egypt’s ancient heritage.

4. Terrific temples

Discover an enormous open-air museum like no other. The awe-inspiring Temples of Karnak are filled with stately statues, immense columns, and gigantic gateways. Explore this intriguing site and be left in no doubt about the brilliance of the ancient Egyptian civilization.

5. Holy mountain

Embark on a trek to the top of Mt Sinai and witness an incredible golden sunrise to remember. A place of worship for many faiths, a pilgrimage to Mt Sinai reveals stunning scenery, an ancient monastery and historic chapels. An iconic highlight of Egypt for believers and non-believers alike, Mt Sinai is not to be missed.

6. Double happiness

Located in the Nile Valley, the unique Temple of Kom Ombo is a ‘double temple’ and a rare archaeological find. Dedicated to two gods, a visit here is a true highlight of an Egyptian escapade. Marvel at the well-preserved wall reliefs, try to decipher the hieroglyphics and honour the craftsmen who created this wonder.

7. Museum magic

Step into a dazzling world of antiquity at the Egyptian Museum. Be amazed by the glittering treasures recovered from King Tutankhamun’s tomb – with jewelry, furniture, chariots and that famous gold funerary mask, this pharaoh was certainly prepared for the afterlife.

8. Roman ruins

The Roman ruins of Kom el-Dikka in Alexandria may not be the biggest, but they are certainly among the best-preserved in Egypt, if not the world. Soak up the atmosphere of the Roman amphitheater and imagine it in all its glory - packed with 800 spectators ready for action.

9. Colossal characters

Near the modern city of Luxor stand the imposing Colossi of Memnon. These massive stone statues of Amenhotep III, while badly damaged, still maintain an unmistakable air of authority. Stand below them and be dwarfed by the scale of these tremendous figures.

10. The ancient heart of Cairo

Wander the cobbled streets of Islamic Cairo and uncover the ancient heart of this chaotic city. Admire mosques, palaces and houses, and peruse the goods on offer at one of the world’s oldest bazaars. Dating back to medieval times, the Khan al-Khalili bazaar is where people have traded goods for centuries.

Souqs – or open-air bazaars – are both the best place to shop in Egypt and attractions in their own right. The biggest and most famous souq is the 500-year-old Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Cairo. Within the maze of narrow streets and laneways lie stalls selling jewelry, glass, copper, spices and artisan goods, along with more standard tourist fare. Quality can vary greatly so spend some time shopping around.

Like many markets around the world, bargaining is the norm, but Egyptians take it to another level. Expect to be offered tea (it can take that long) and for elaborate theatrics from the seller. While bazaars in Cairo tend to sell everything, visit Aswan’s bazaar for spices, incense, and basketwork, and Luxor for cheaply priced alabaster figurines and vases. It's also a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country.

Things to buy in Egypt

You’ll often see spices piled high in bazaars. In addition to making a great photo for Instagram, they’re often a good buy as long as you keep a couple of things in mind. Always buy whole spices rather than ground to ensure freshness and skip the ‘saffron’ – it’s actually safflower and tastes like dust.

2. Glassware

Hand-blown Muski glass, recognizable by its air bubbles, comes in brilliant shades of blue and green and purple and has been made in Egypt since medieval times. Be careful with this purchase though as it’s extremely fragile.

3. Cartouche

A kind of nameplate written in hieroglyphics. Most gold or silver shops sell these and many can customize them by engraving your name.

Festivals and events

Eid al-Fitr

After fasting for an entire month, Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, or ‘Feast of Breaking the Fast’. For three days, starting on the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, people celebrate with feasts, family, and festivals. Look for vendors selling kahk cookies (nut-filled cookies covered in powdered sugar) while taking in the festivities, a tasty treat synonymous with Eid for many locals.

Eid al-Adha

Arguably the most important holiday in Egypt, the ‘Feast of Sacrifice’ is not one for vegetarians and vegans. About 70 days after Eid al-Fitr, sheep, and goats are slaughtered (often in the middle of the street) for a mighty feast.

Sham el-Nessim

Each year on March 21st, Egyptians celebrate the coming of spring by spending the day outdoors. Join the locals for this ancient holiday by packing a picnic and heading to a park or public garden.

Abu Simbel Sun Festival

As if the two temples dedicated to Ramses II and Queen Nefertari weren’t impressive enough, they were constructed in such a way that twice a year, the sun’s rays reach its innermost chambers and illuminate three stone gods that reside within, while leaving Ptah (god of the underworld) in the dark. And those days just happen to be Ramses’s birthday (October 21) and coronation (February 21). Coincidence? We think not.

Read more about festivals in Egypt

Public holidays that may impact travel include:

Coptic Christmas

Coptic Easter

Sinai Liberation Day

National Day

Coptic New Year

Islamic New Year

Armed Forces Day

Birth of Prophet Mohammed

Many of Egypt's public holidays are religious holidays celebrated according to the Islamic lunar cycle. Please note that the dates may vary.

Further reading

Egypt travel faqs, do you need a visa to travel to egypt.

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you’re visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your nationality. Check the Essential Trip Information section of the itinerary for more information.

Is tipping customary in Egypt?

Tipping is customary for pretty much all services in Egypt. A tip of 10–15% is customary at cafes and restaurants and loose change is acceptable for food purchases from street vendors and markets. It’s also a good idea to tip local guides and drivers USD$2.50-3 per day.

What is the internet access like in Egypt?

Internet access is growing in Egypt, with internet cafes and Wi-Fi hotspots becoming increasingly common in large cities, especially Cairo, though access may be limited in smaller towns and remote areas.

Can I use my cell phone in Egypt?

Cell phone coverage is generally good in Egypt’s urban areas, but may not be available in remote and desert areas. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home.

What are the toilets like in Egypt?

Squat toilets are most common in Egypt, although Western-style flushable toilets can be found in larger hotels and some tourist areas.

Can I drink the water in Egypt?

Drinking tap water isn’t recommended in Egypt. Remember to avoid drinks with ice and to peel fruit before eating it. Help the environment and try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, fill a reusable water bottle with filtered water. Ask your leader or hotel where to find filtered water.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Egypt?

Credit cards are usually accepted by modern hotels, large retailers, and tourist sites but are less commonly accepted by smaller vendors in remote areas. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases in case credit cards are not an option.

What is ATM access like in Egypt?

ATMs are commonly found in larger cities, like Cairo and Alexandria, near shopping centers, tourist areas, and 5-star hotels, but are far less common in small towns and rural areas. Make sure you have enough cash before leaving urban areas.

Is Egypt a safe destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Discretion is advised for LGBTQI travelers in Egypt. Though homosexuality is not officially outlawed, gay men have been prosecuted using debauchery and public morals laws and given long prison sentences. Be aware that signals are ambiguous in Egypt as men commonly hold hands, link arms and greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. As long as you use common sense, travel in Egypt should not be a problem.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex  or ILGA before you travel.

If you are traveling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travelers who do not wish to share a room.

What to wear in Egypt

Summer temperatures can get very high, so light fabrics like linen, cotton and athletic gear made to take the heat are best. If you’re traveling outside of winter, don’t underestimate the cool change that can come in the evenings, especially if you’re spending the night in the desert or on a Nile cruise. Avoid packing anything in white – desert dust will quickly turn those light-colored clothes a not-so-delightful shade of brown.

How will I travel around Egypt?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there!

We just finished a 10-day tour starting from Edinburgh, and it was absolutely brilliant. You lot sorted everything, making the trip truly unforgettable. We've made memories that will last a lifetime and even left behind new pals from Egypt that we'll never forget.

This tour hit all the highlights! We had our tour operator available via WhatsApp for anything and at anytime of the day. They are experts at the logistics and everything we asked was easliy accommodated. Or looked like it anyway! As two female travelers, we felt very safe the entire time. We would certainly recommend this tour and agency and trying to figure out how to do it again!

This is an excellent tour. My wife and I booked at notice and were a bit hesitant about travelling to Egypt but the experience was amazing in so many ways. The operator Holiday in Egypt had thought of everything, was so incredibly responsive to every request and question and made sure we were totally looked after every step of the way. It seemed nothing was too much trouble and we felt 100% safe all the way. The itinerary and accommodate was well thought out and included some great extras like hot air ballooning that we took up and was excellent t in Luxor. There is some down time where we could just relax on the ship as we cruised the Nile that was really appreciated. Maybe the itinerary was a bit too full on some days but just be prepared to skip an outing if you want a rest. We have done a lot of tours in a lot of countries it I have never seen dedication and service like the guides and team on this tour. The guides were very knowledgeable and taught us so much of the history of each site. Our guide and Ahmed Kassem who was with us for the four days on the cruise was amazing and truely went far and beyond. Managing us through every element of the tour, on call 24 hours and making sure every detail from lost medication to 4am transfers weee looked after. Accomodation was above our expectations for the price of the tour, Clean and fresh. Were were well forewarned about the overnight train being an “experience “ which it was, but given the option to upgrade to a flight which we did in the way back. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover egypt stress free at a good price point.

"It was stunning to see and visit the monuments of ancient Egypt.The pyramids are magificient. The Egyptian Museum is a place very worth visiting. Dr Nasr our guide was excellent in providing lots of the pyramids and ancient Egypt knowledge. The tour to Loxur, the Nile Cruise, visiting the Kings Valley and all the different great temples are all great experience. It was a long journey to go to Abu Simbel snd we didnt expect we could see the rising sun in the desert. It was really beautiful. The boat ride to Nubian added another type of experience. It was a gentle touch of Egypt in the evening. But the sun was really strong in Summer. Remember to bring your hat, sunglass and have sufficient 0rotection on your skin. Our tour guide Ahmed was excellent. My wife had a mild heat stroke when walking up the Hashepsut temple.Ahmed immediately came to us,let her rest, made special arrangement for the cab to come to the closest point for her to get in and helped her to go the way. Thank you so much for Ahmed's help and excellent services.

Egypt is a living archaeological site... and through it flows the Nile, the lifeblood of the nation and the people as it has been since the dawn of time; antiquities tell this ancient civilization's compelling story.

• ITINERARIES

Welcome to Egypt

One of the most fascinating countries on Earth, Egypt is a vast, living archaeological site whose world-renowned antiquities tell this ancient civilization's compelling story, which has unfolded over some 5,000 years... explore Egypt's historic and cultural treasures – many of which are tucked away in remote desert locations, and have attracted travelers for centuries – firsthand, on unforgettable journeys including cruises on the Egyptian nation's lifeblood, the timeless Nile River. 

The pyramids of giza, wonders of the ancient world... giza's pyramids & sphinx.

The only largely intact survivor of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World," the Great Pyramid of Giza (a.k.a. the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is one of the most recognizable landmarks on Earth… and reigned as the world's tallest man-made structure for nearly 4,000 years! Completed sometime around 2500 BC, it's the oldest and largest of the complex known as the Great Pyramids of Giza, which also includes the Pyramids of Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mykerinos), as well as the Great Sphinx, from about the same period as the Great Pyramid. Who built the Sphinx and why is still a mystery that's lasted more than 3,000 years… as you'll learn on your visit to this remarkable site.

The Best Egypt Tours for 2024 – Nile River Cruises, Egyptian Pyramids and Lots of Sightseeing

Obelisks in Karnak Temple, Luxor.

Egypt is timeless and allows people of every age or era to step back into a world of beauty and fascinating mystery. With headlines telling of amazing discoveries still occurring in our modern era, it makes sense to consider the best Egypt tours for 2024.

As you might imagine, the locations for the finest options in Egyptian tours do not change much, and yet with more and more people deciding to travel to Egypt for a trip through the Land of the Pharaohs, different types of travel itineraries become available. Just consider that you can enjoy various options such as:

• Nile Cruise Holidays
• Luxury Egypt Tours
• Classic Egypt Tours

With so many tour options for Egypt in 2024, you may need a little bit of help in choosing the ideal trip for yourself. Read on to find out more about booking a tour which you will never forget.

Tips for Choosing the Best Places in Egypt

As the title above implies, the options for your Egypt tours in 2024 include things like Sahara Desert safaris, a 5-Star cruise along the Nile, visits into famous ancient tombs, and the opportunity to explore the remains of ancient historical cities. And it is up to you to decide just what your ideal tour would include. Let’s look at a few of your options.

It is safe to say that any trip to Egypt should include a bit of time on the world-famous Nile River. With its natural beauty, its many ancient historical monuments and its vital importance to the people and culture of Egypt, it is the perfect focus or key element in unforgettable Egypt tour in 2024. When you book a Nile cruise holiday , you can take in the best attractions located in:

• And more…

And although there are a tremendous number of ancient sites along the banks of the Nile, you may want your Egypt tour to emphasize classic destinations. This can mean:

• City trips in Cairo that include visiting places such as the Egyptian Museum , the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar
• Giza and the Great Pyramids
• Valley of the Kings
• Abu Simbel Temples

Of course, you can roll both the Nile and classic tours together to enjoy luxurious tours of Egypt that blend land and water travel. These are often tour packages that take in multiple areas of the country, and so luxury Egypt tours could include air travel, train rides, and dahabiya Nile cruises . Destinations could include:

• The Red Sea Riviera and Sharm el Sheikh
• Historic spots like Sakkara and its pyramids
• Luxor and its overload of ancient monuments
• Aswan and the High Dam, and more

And even if you opt to book a budget tour , you can find yourself setting foot amongst the same famous ancient sites. You might do a great deal of travel by train and pay a visit to the many beloved spots spread out along the length of Egypt. You might also enjoy a tour that focuses specifically on Cairo alone as all or part of your best Egypt tours.

What to Expect From the Best Egypt Tours

So, you see that your best Egypt tour options in 2024 range from land-based to cruising tours and spread from points at the southernmost region of Egypt, such as Abu Simbel, Lake Nasser and Aswan, or as far north as Cairo and Alexandria. You can opt to head into the desert or over to the Red Sea. You can combine all of these activities or even just stay in a single area, such as Cairo alone.

Yet, there are also many different activities that you can enjoy during the tour. For example, sailing in a felucca or a dahabeeyah can be part of the experience, and professionally guided land tours are typically part of any visit to Egypt. Walk through the different tombs in the Valley of the Kings or head into the desert on a 4×4 to reach such exotic locations as Bahariya Oasis.

Whether you dream trip in Egypt is about ancient pyramids, temples, tombs, natural wonders, magical bazaars and markets, or whether it is about drifting along the famed Nile River, it is all possible in a single skillfully designed tour.

Tips to Plan Your Dream Trip

If you want the best Egypt tours in 2024 based on your personal dreams and wishes, you need to begin with your list of must-see sights. Here’s how to plan that trip:

• List the attractions you wish to visit in and near Cairo – Because most travellers arrive in Cairo, you must spend at least a day or two visiting its many sites. Nearby is the Giza Plateau with it legendary pyramids. Just a short drive from Cairo, you will find another cluster of pyramids, known as the Dahshur Pyramids . These include the Black, the Bent and the Step Pyramids. You can even enjoy a trip to the Faiyum Oasis which is just south of Cairo.
• Consider the Ancient Egyptian sites you might like to see – These are often found along or near the banks of the River Nile, as well as on the many islands dotting its course.
• Think of the destinations that are not typically part of a tour – Alexandria is a city that could easily be an entire tour on its own, the Red Sea region of Egypt is dotted with lovely resorts and attractions, and the Western Desert is home to historic Oases and many amazing natural wonders
• Consider if you wish to savour an experience – Do you want to enjoy a 4×4 safari tour into the desert, go camel trekking or sailing on the river or on Lake Nasser? Don’t forget all about excelling dining and shopping!

Sightseeing, Cruises and Safaris – When is the Best Time to Travel?

Remember that you’ll want to travel at a time of the year when the activities you wish to enjoy are comfortable. For example, if you want to enjoy an extended trip into the desert to visit different oases, we would probably advise against travel during the hot months. This is particularly true if you also wish to camp under the stars in the White Desert or Black Desert . Days in the desert can be unbearably hot, while nights can be unbearably cold.

Sightseeing excursions and cruises can essentially be enjoyed all year round. Although the weather during the high season months tends to be cooler and more pleasant than during the low season months, the difference is not unbearable. Also, tourist who travel with us usually get to spend a great deal of time in air-conditioned comfort.

Lastly, the Red Sea coastal region enjoys year-round pleasant weather and temperatures. For the most part, it is only when you intend spend time in the desert that you need to pay close attention to your travel dates.

Single or Multi-Destination Adventure?

One other thing which you need to think about before your book your trip is whether you only want to travel to the Land of the Pharaohs, or do you want to enjoy a multi-destination tour. One of our 6 Best Egypt Tours also includes a trip to Jordan where you will stay for three nights. On the day of your arrival in Jordan, there won’t be any excursions, but there will be a tour on the second and third day. Your first tour will take you to some historical sites and then you will travel to the Dead Sea for an afternoon of leisure.

Your next tour in Jordan will be a half-day tour to the ancient Lost City of Petra. Many people travel to Jordan solely for the sake of being able to see this ancient rock-cut city.

Remember, even if your chosen tour itinerary does not include a tour to Jordan, we can still arrange for a day-trip to Petra if you would like to see this magnificent ancient wonder.

When ready to proceed then simply go here, fill out the form and get help from our professional tour consultants who are standing by to help you create the best Egypt tour possible.

Use these tips to begin planning the best tour of Egypt for 2024. You don’t have to limit yourself to just one adventure, either. We have options that can allow you to finish up with one journey and embark on another! This could even include other sites in the Middle East, such as Jordan or Morocco!

At Egypt Tours Plus , you will find a dizzying array of wonderful packages and choices for tailor-made journeys. With options for trips as brief as four or five days, but as long as 15, you are sure to find the very best Egypt tours packages for your 2024 holiday.
