Best tour around Cairo! Our experience with Ahmed and the Egypt Planners was amazing! Ahmed was so attentive, friendly, helpful and kind. Everything we needed and anywhere we wanted to go, Ahmed took care of us and made sure we went around Cairo and all the major sightseeings passing through the best and more scenic routes, helped us with all our stuff and made us feel very safe. The car was very clean and comfortable as well. Ahmed is an excellent and calm driver which is definitely required to navigate throughout Cairo’s crazy traffic. Ahmed was fun to hang around and even provided us with fresh mango juice every time we rode with him. I would hire Ahmed and Egypt Planners services again in a heart beat!

Things to know about Egypt Tours

What is the best time to visit Egypt?

The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, during the country’s mild winter. The temperatures are pleasant during the day, ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-80s Fahrenheit (about 18-30 degrees Celsius), and more relaxed at night. This is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices.

Visiting Egypt from May to September can be a good option if you prefer to avoid crowds and endure hotter temperatures. Temperatures during this time can reach up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) or higher, but this is also the low season so you may find better deals on tours and accommodations.

It’s also important to note that Ramadan, the month-long Islamic holiday of fasting and prayer, can affect travel to Egypt. During Ramadan, many businesses and tourist sites have reduced hours or may be closed altogether. The dates of Ramadan change each year based on the Islamic calendar, so it’s essential to check the dates before planning your trip.

In summary, the best time to visit Egypt is during the winter season, between October and April, but if you don’t mind the heat and want to avoid the crowds, visiting during the summer months can also be a good option.

Is Egypt Tours good for all-inclusive?

First, Egypt has some of the most incredible ancient places in the world. Egypt’s old buildings, like the Pyramids of Giza and the temples of Luxor and Karnak, are a must-see for any tourist. Many all-inclusive deals include trips to these places, so you can see the wonders of old Egypt without worrying about the details.

Egypt is known for its past, but it has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and resorts. One famous place for all-inclusive beach holidays is the coast of the Red Sea. Many locations offer deals that include food, drinks, and access to a private beach, so you can chill out and enjoy the sun.

Egypt is known for its warm, friendly people, beaches, and historical places. Egypt has the best politeness in the world, and many all-inclusive deals include chances to meet locals and learn about their culture.

If you’re worried about safety, you can rest easy knowing that Egypt is a safe and friendly place for tourists.

How much does a Egypt trip cost?

Are you going to Egypt? “What is the average cost of a tour of Egypt?” is a question that often arises. The answer varies depending on several things, such as the type of tour you choose, how long you stay, and how you like to travel. Let’s look more closely at what can change the price of a tour in Egypt.

First, let’s think about what kind of tour it is. Egypt has a lot of different types of tours, from individual tours to group tours, from cheap tours to expensive ones, and everything in between. Private tours are usually more costly, but you get a committed guide and a unique experience. Group trips are cheaper and give you the chance to meet other tourists.

Second, the price of your tour will also depend on how long you stay. More extended tours will cost more than shorter ones, but they may allow you to learn more about Egypt and its sights and sights and sights.

Third, the cost of your tour will also depend on how you like to travel. Luxury tours with five-star accommodations and private transportation will cost more than cheap trips with shared accommodations and public transport. But it’s important to note that Egypt is a very affordable place to visit, and even luxury trips can be pretty cheap compared to other sites.

So, how much should a tour of Egypt cost? On average, a standard five-day tour of Egypt can cost between $500 and $1,000 per person, while a more luxurious trip can cost up to $5,000 per person. These are, of course, just rough figures, and the actual cost will depend on the things listed above.

In conclusion, the price of an Egypt tour will depend on the type of trip, how long you stay, and how you like to travel. But Egypt is an excellent place for tourists of all budgets because it has so many things to do, and the cost of living is reasonable. So start planning your trip to Egypt right now, and prepare for an adventure you’ll never forget.

How many days are enough for Egypt?

Egypt is an exciting place with a lot to learn about its history, culture, and natural beauty. But with so many things to see and do, how long is the best trip to Egypt? The answer depends on what you want to do, how much money you have, and how you like to travel. Let’s look at the different things that can change how long your trip to Egypt should be.

If you’re interested in Egypt’s ancient history, you should give yourself plenty of time to visit the country’s museums and historical sites. Cairo is home to many famous places, such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and the Citadel of Salah El Din. Luxor in southern Egypt is also a must-see for history fans with its marvelous temples and tombs.

Second, if you’re interested in natural beauty, add time for things like diving in the Red Sea or visiting the Western Desert. These places are a beautiful contrast to Egypt’s old buildings and should not be missed.

Third, consider taking a shorter trip if you are on a tight budget. Egypt is a relatively inexpensive place to visit, but the cost of a more extended trip can add up quickly. Even if a trip is shorter, it can still be a great way to see the best of the country without breaking the bank.

So, how long should a trip to Egypt last? We suggest spending at least 7–10 days in Egypt to see the main sights, and it will allow you to visit Cairo, Luxor, and maybe even Aswan or Alexandria.

If you have more time and want to see places that aren’t as well-known or spend more time on each site, we suggest a 14–21-day trip. It will allow you to learn more about Egypt’s past and culture and better understand what makes this country unique.

In conclusion, the best time for your trip to Egypt depends on what you want to do, how much money you have, and how you like to travel. Egypt is a great place to visit, whether you have a week or a month. It offers much, from old history to beautiful natural scenery and modern culture. So start planning your trip to Egypt immediately, and prepare for an adventure you’ll never forget.

Is Egypt a safe destination to Visit?

Egypt is generally considered a safe destination for tourists to visit. The country relies heavily on tourism, and the government has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of tourists. There are police checkpoints throughout the country, particularly in tourist areas, and security measures are in place at airports, hotels, and major tourist sites.

As with any travel destination, it’s always wise to exercise caution and take commonsense safety precautions. It is advised to avoid large crowds, especially during demonstrations or protests, and always to remain alert and aware of your surroundings. It is also recommended that you follow the advice of your tour guide or travel operator and check with your embassy or consulate for any travel tips before your trip.

Overall, as long as you take the necessary precautions, Egypt is a safe and welcoming destination that offers a wealth of history, culture, and natural beauty for visitors to explore and enjoy.

When planning a trip to Egypt, it’s important to pack the right items to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Here are some things to consider bringing with you:

  1. Sunscreen: Egypt is a desert country, and the sun can be intense, so it’s important to pack sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin.

  2. Comfortable walking shoes: Many of Egypt’s top attractions involve a lot of walking, so make sure you bring comfortable shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain.

  3. Lightweight clothing: Egypt can be hot, so pack light clothing from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Packing clothes that cover your shoulders and knees is also a good idea, particularly if you plan to visit religious sites.

  4. Scarf or shawl: Women visiting Egypt may want to bring a scarf or shawl to cover their heads when entering mosques or other religious sites.

  5. Water bottle: Staying hydrated is important in Egypt’s hot climate, so bring a reusable water bottle to refill throughout the day.

Packaging these essential items will prepare you for a comfortable and enjoyable trip to Egypt.

Tipping or Baksheesh in Egypt

Tipping, or baksheesh, is a common practice in Egypt and is considered a way to show appreciation for good service. It’s important to note that while tipping is not mandatory, it is expected in many situations, and it’s a good idea to carry small bills and change for this purpose.

Here are some standard tipping practices in Egypt:

  • Tour guides: Tipping your tour guide at the end of your tour is customary. The amount will depend on the length of the tour and the level of service provided, but a good rule of thumb is around 10-20% of the total cost of the tour.
  • Hotel staff: Tipping hotel staff, such as bellhops and housekeeping, is familiar. A small tip of 10-20 Egyptian pounds per day is appropriate.
  • Drivers: If you hire a driver, it’s customary to tip them at the end of your trip. The amount will depend on the length of the journey and the level of service provided, but a good rule of thumb is around 50-100 Egyptian pounds per day.
  • Restaurants: It’s common to leave a tip of around 10-15% of the total bill at restaurants. Some restaurants may include a service charge on the bill, so check before tipping.

In summary, tipping or baksheesh is a common practice in Egypt, and it’s important to have small bills and changes on hand. The amount to tip will depend on the service provided. Still, as a general rule, a tip of 10-20% of the total cost is appropriate for tours and restaurants, while smaller tips of 10-20 Egyptian pounds per day are appropriate for hotel staff and drivers.

  3. Use a guide or tour group: Using a guide or tour group can be a good idea, especially if you’re traveling alone. This can help you navigate local customs and culture, and can provide an extra layer of safety.
