Absolutely. Egypt continues to be a safe and welcoming destination, especially in popular areas like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Sharm El-Sheikh. These tourist hubs are well-secured and regularly patrolled by tourism police. While Egypt is a large and diverse country, some regions like Northern Sinai and remote parts of the western desert remain restricted due to safety concerns. At EgyVacations, we closely monitor all developments and tailor your itinerary to avoid any areas under advisory. As long as you follow standard travel precautions, you can enjoy Egypt’s rich history, culture, and warm hospitality with peace of mind.
As with travel to any destination, staying informed is key. Egypt is generally stable, but we advise our guests to avoid political protests or large public gatherings, which can occasionally occur in big cities. Borders—particularly near Libya and parts of Sinai—are considered sensitive zones and are best avoided without official guidance. At EgyVacations, we stay updated with government advisories, including those from the UK FCO and U.S. State Department, and we keep our guests informed before and during their trip to ensure smooth, secure travels.
Yes, registering with your embassy before your trip to Egypt is a smart move, especially if you plan to explore areas outside the main tourist zones. It ensures that you can be contacted in case of an emergency or travel alert. Many governments offer easy online registration, like STEP for U.S. citizens. At EgyVacations, we always recommend that our travelers register in advance—it adds an extra layer of safety and peace of mind while exploring the wonders of Egypt.
Solo and female travelers are welcomed in Egypt and often find the experience incredibly enriching. That said, we recommend exercising a bit more caution than you might at home—dress modestly, avoid isolated areas at night, and be wary of overly friendly strangers. Hiring a licensed private guide is an excellent way to stay both informed and secure. EgyVacations offers personalized tour options specifically designed for solo and female travelers, ensuring not only safety but also a deeply immersive experience tailored to your interests.
Visa Requirements
Most travelers visiting Egypt will need a tourist visa, which is easy to obtain and fairly straightforward. The standard visa costs $25 USD and is valid for 30 days. You can get it upon arrival at major international airports or apply in advance through Egypt’s official e-Visa portal. We recommend applying online if you want to save time at the airport. Nationals of some countries may have specific entry rules, so it’s always a good idea to double-check before your trip. At EgyVacations, we’re happy to assist with up-to-date visa information and help ensure your arrival is smooth and stress-free.
Currency & Payments
The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP), but U.S. dollars are also widely accepted in tourist areas. Cash is king—especially at markets, small shops, and for tips—so keep a supply of small bills handy. Major hotels, upscale restaurants, and larger stores usually accept credit cards, but rural areas and street vendors often don’t. ATMs are available in most cities, but notify your bank before traveling. At EgyVacations, we always advise guests to carry a mix of local currency and small U.S. notes to ensure smooth transactions throughout their journey.
Tipping Culture
Tipping—known locally as “baksheesh”—is a well-established part of Egyptian culture and a gesture of appreciation for service. For small tasks like carrying bags or restroom service, 2–5 EGP is typical. In restaurants, 10–15% is standard if service isn’t included. For your guides, drivers, or hotel staff, tipping is expected and highly appreciated—consider budgeting around $3–5 USD per day per person for drivers and $10–15 USD for your guide. At EgyVacations, we’ll provide clear tipping guidance so you can navigate local customs with confidence and generosity.
The best time to explore Egypt is from mid-October to April, when the weather is pleasantly mild—perfect for walking tours, Nile cruises, and desert adventures. If you’re looking to beat the crowds and still enjoy great weather, October–November and February–April are ideal “shoulder season” months. Summer (May–September) can be extremely hot, especially in southern Egypt, but if you don’t mind the heat, you’ll find fewer tourists and lower prices. At EgyVacations, we customize your itinerary based on seasonal highlights—whether it’s winter stargazing in the White Desert or springtime temple visits in Luxor.
Egypt’s climate is generally dry and sunny, so lightweight, breathable, and modest clothing is key—especially for visiting mosques and temples. We recommend bringing:
A few key items can make a big difference in your travel comfort. Be sure to bring:
Absolutely—taking a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan (or vice versa) is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Egypt. You’ll sail through timeless landscapes while stopping to explore ancient temples like Karnak, Kom Ombo, and Philae with ease. Cruising offers a relaxed pace and seamless travel between historical sites—no need to pack and unpack each night. Whether you choose a luxury liner or a more intimate dahabiya sailboat, you’ll enjoy scenic views, top-notch service, and guided tours with expert Egyptologists. At EgyVacations, we handpick cruise options tailored to your comfort, budget, and style of travel.
To truly appreciate the Great Pyramids of Giza, we recommend visiting early in the morning to beat the heat and crowds. Touring with a certified Egyptologist guide makes a huge difference—you’ll gain insights that bring the ancient world to life. For something extraordinary, consider a hot-air balloon ride over Luxor (yes, you can fly over ancient temples!) or combine your pyramid visit with a side trip to Saqqara and Dahshur for a deeper dive into Egypt’s architectural evolution. At EgyVacations, we specialize in crafting private, immersive pyramid experiences you’ll never forget.
