Egypt Tours Travel Tips

  • Don't bother trying to drink tap water in Egypt; it's not the safest and has lots of chlorine. It's sufficient for teeth brushing but be sure to purchase bottled water for drinking.
  • This country is scorching and humid because the majority of Egypt is just desert! Prepare for this by drinking lots of water and dress appropriately. Also, remember to pack your sunscreen and consider bringing a hat to protect your face and skin.
  • Egypt is not an unsafe country, but it's safe to explore the country on an organized tour. By researching Egypt tours on Affordable Tours already, you're making the best first step possible!
  • Make sure to exchange some of your currency for Egyptian Pounds. While many places will accept your credit card, it's safest always to make sure to have some local currency just in case while traveling.
  • Keep in mind that there is nothing genuinely free in Egypt, including taking pictures at places like the pyramids. If you're caught taking photos, you may be asked to donate a small bit of money to the owner. 

Egypt Tours Things To Do

  • Explore the beautiful Valley of the Kings
    Explore the beautiful Valley of the Kings

    The Valley of the Kings is a gorgeous Necropolis referred to as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings by the locals. It dates back to the 11th century BC and is a series of tombs cut out of rock from the New Kingdom. The tombs were used for 500 years in total, and they're located in Luxor. There are said to be around 60 different tombs in total in this valley, all of whom are, as the name suggests, kings of Egypt. The Valley of Kings is most well-known for holding the tomb of Tutankhamun.

    You Should Know

    Plan on spending at least the whole day at the Valley of the Kings because of how big the area is to explore.

  • Walk around the ruins of Karnak
    Walk around the ruins of Karnak

    Karnak is an area that is filled with temples from Theban city. Many ancient writings refer to the ruins in Karnak as the "Chosen of Places." Inside, there is an abundance of ruins and tombs, even though not a whole lot remains, unfortunately. Throughout Karnak, you can find ruins of old churches, palaces, gardens, and even houses. Try to find a map online to make the most of your trip so that you can at least get somewhat of an idea of what you're seeing and searching for in Karnak.

    You Should Know

    Karnak can get quite busy, so plan on getting there early to avoid the crowds.

  • Learn at The Egyptian Museum
    Learn at The Egyptian Museum

    The Egyptian Museum is a historical and cultural heritage museum located in Cairo, Egypt. It first opened in the 19th century and is filled with exhibits and antiques dating back to Egypt's ancient times. Inside the museum, there are more than 120,000 different artifacts on display. You can find different stones, kitchen items, coffins, and mummies inside. Make sure to grab a map at the museum entrance to get the most out of your visit.

    You Should Know

    You will need to spend at least a half-day exploring The Egyptian Museum because it is so big.

  • See the Great Sphinx of Giza
    See the Great Sphinx of Giza

    The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most impressive monuments and landmarks in all of Egypt. It is located in the middle of the Al Giza Desert in Giza and is more commonly referred to briefly as the Sphinx. It's a monument made out of sandstone that features a statue with a human head but a lion's body. If you plan on seeing only one thing during your Egypt tour, make sure that it's the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza. It's one landmark you'll never forget.

    You Should Know

    The nose of the sphinx is broken/lost and has been since the 15th century or earlier. Historians don't know for sure!  

  • See Luxor Temple
    See Luxor Temple

    Luxor Temple dates back to 1400 BC and is one of Egypt's most impressive and visited temples. It's located right along the Nile River's east bank and is known in Egyptian as "the southern sanctuary." This temple was initially built during the New Kingdom as a place of worship for those who wish to pray to Egyptian gods. In particular, this temple was said to be dedicated to none other than Amon-Ra, he's said to be the king of the gods.

    Best Time To Visit

    If you want to avoid the crowds, visit right when it opens at 6 a.m.

  • Dive at the Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve
    Dive at the Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve

    The Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve is a beautiful national park located in Egypt. It's right on the Sinai Peninsula and offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez. No matter where you look, you'll enjoy great views. One of the best activities in the Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve is diving! This is arguably the most excellent way to experience the underwater aquatic life in this area of Egypt. If you haven't been diving before, don't worry. You can take lessons right in Egypt too!

    You Should Know

    Because the Ras Mohammed National Park is so large, you'll want to take at least a whole day to explore it!

  • Explore The Temple of Horus at Edfu
    Explore The Temple of Horus at Edfu

    The Temple of Horus at Edfu is a must-visit temple in Edfu, Egypt. This Egyptian temple, in particular, is located near the Nile River's west bank and was named after the Egyptian god Horus. It's built out of sandstone and stands at around 118 feet. It's one of the finest examples of Ancient Egyptian architecture and was said to have been built around 237 BC on top of older ruins that once stood in the very same place around 200 years before that.

    You Should Know

    Horus, the god that the temple was named after, represents power and has a symbol of a falcon.

  • Go inside the Giza Necropolis
    Go inside the Giza Necropolis

    The Giza Necropolis is home to the iconic pyramids that everyone knows they must visit while visiting Egypt. Of course, they're located right in Giza, near the Sphinx, which should also be visited in Egypt. The pyramids include the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Pyramid of Khafre. You can also take the time to go inside the different pyramids for a fee, but keep in mind that they are not for claustrophobic travelers because the passageways are incredibly tiny.

    You Should Know

    You may get charged for taking photos of the pyramids here, so make sure you travel with some of the local currency when visiting.

  • Support locals at Khan el-Khalili
    Support locals at Khan el-Khalili

    Khan El-Khalili is a must-visit local bazaar in Cairo, Egypt. This famous bazaar is the perfect spot to visit if you're interested in mingling with locals and purchasing local arts and crafts that you won't be able to get elsewhere. You can't get a better souvenir anywhere else! Even if you don't plan on purchasing anything, it's worth walking around Khan el-Khalili and at least seeing what's on offer. This bazaar dates back to the 14th century under the reign of Sultan Barquq.

    Best Time To Visit

    Visit the bazaar in the morning to avoid crowds.

Egypt Tour Packages

Quick Facts

Egypt is a must-visit destination during all seasons, so there isn't a best time to visit! Of course, you can plan your trip around the busiest times to visit if you'd like to avoid most tourists during your trip. The most popular time to visit Egypt is during the wintertime, and the less popular is in the summer.

  • Spring and Fall - September to November and March to May - Shoulder Season

    The spring and fall seasons are the shoulder seasons in Egypt, which means that the weather is still great, but it won't be as busy as the peak seasons. During the spring, the average high temperature is around 85°F, while in the fall, the average high temperature is around 87°F.

  • Summer - June to August - Low Season

    The summer is the least popular time to visit Egypt so you can find accommodation prices at the lowest prices possible during this season. The average high temperature in the summer is 96°F.

  • Winter - December to February - High Season

    The majority of people visit Egypt during the winter because the weather isn't as terrible as it is during the spring. Because this is a popular time to visit, accommodation prices will, unfortunately, be at their highest. The average high temperature during this time is 67°F.

Reviews for Egypt Tours and Vacations

My husband and I booked a trip to Egypt and was thoroughly pleased with the experience. From the start of the trip the entire staff was pleasant and on point. There was someone there at all times to assist and support us. Our tour guide was exceptional and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend using Globus Tours.

Cynthia W

The tour staff in Egypt were excellent and highly professional. The Affordable Tours staff did an excellent job. But Trafalgar needs to improve. They provided us with bad information that needlessly caused us problems, discomfort and inconvenience. They told us we had to tip in Egyptian funds. This couldn't be more wrong. Egyptians prefer US funds. They told us we couldn't bring standard wheeled carry-on luggage. This was also wrong. All the planes used were all modern jets that accommodated modern wheeled carry on luggage just fine.

Kenneth L

Other than not receiving instructions on my arrival on the first day (no signs and no instructions which were written in a Globus letter--but I didn't receive one--until the hotel counter shared the letter which another traveler received)--the overall tour was exceptional and one of the best I've been on. This was my fifth tour with Cosmos/Globus. The rest of the tour was fantastic--transportation and hotel arrangements were great. Our tour guide was exceptional!! He brought the history of the Incas alive and relevant to the present culture and life in Peru today. The Nazca Lines was also exceptional and the boat ride to the Ballestos Island was very enjoyable--except there were no penguins--but not the tour's fault. It is too warm for the penguins right now. We only saw the sealions. Accommodations and transportation were great--comfortable buses and free breakfasts were great. I would recommend this trip to Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines as trips that should never be passed up!! Totally worth the time and money--and more!
