Egypt travel FAQs

How many days do I need to see Egypt? +
For the classic highlights — Cairo, Luxor and Aswan with a Nile cruise — plan on 7 to 10 days. Add the Red Sea or Abu Simbel and you'll want around 12. We can tailor any length around your time.
What are the must-see attractions in Egypt? +
The Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, and a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan top almost every itinerary. Our regional guides above cover them in detail.
Is it better to do a Nile cruise or stay in hotels? +
A Nile cruise is the most relaxing way to see Luxor and Aswan — you unpack once and wake up at a new temple each day. Many travellers combine a cruise with hotel stays in Cairo for the best of both.
Do I need a guide to visit the attractions? +
You can visit independently, but a licensed Egyptologist guide transforms the experience — turning ancient stones into vivid stories. All our tours include expert guides, and it's the single thing past guests thank us for most.
When is the best time to visit Egypt? +
October to April offers the most comfortable weather for sightseeing. Summer is hot in the south but cheaper and great for the Red Sea. See our Best Time to Visit guide for a full month-by-month breakdown.
