ABOUT EGYPT

FAQ's

Is Egypt safe for tourists?

​

It’s worth stressing that the vast majority of visits to Egypt are trouble-free. There have been a few high-profile acts of terrorism in the country over the years and the UK government warns that the risk of terrorist attack remains high in some areas. It advises vigilance at religious festivals and at religious sites, to avoid travel to North Sinai, and to exercise caution in some parts of the Western Desert. If you’re interested in visiting the latter, seek travel advice from a tour operator.

​

​

How many days do I need in Egypt?

​

You could spend a month in Egypt and still just touch the surface, particularly if you want to spend time exploring areas of the Western Desert. Allow at least a week to see the highlights of the Nile Valley, including Cairo, Aswan and Luxor. There are frequent flights from the UK to Sharm El Sheikh and you could easily come for a long weekend on the beach.

​

Which is the best month to visit Egypt?

​

November is a good all-round bet; temperatures are in the high 20Cs in the day and evenings are mild rather than cool. If possible, avoid the school holidays to be rewarded with thinner crowds at popular tourist sites such as the Pyramids of Giza and at the temples around Luxor and Aswan. March and April are good choices, too, with similar temperatures — though try and avoid Easter when everywhere gets busier.
