Experience Egypt
The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when temperatures are cooler, but still pleasantly warm across the country.
This makes exploring the busy streets of Cairo, visiting the Pyramids in the desert, and exploring ancient Pharaonic tombs more comfortable and enjoyable.
sun & sea
Egypt’s weather guarantees sun year-round, making it the go-to destination for vacationers any time of the year. Fun-filled afternoons by the Red Sea have a lot to offer, from basking in the sun, swimming, and snorkeling, to diving among some of the world’s most productive and diverse coral reefs. Extreme sports lovers will have a field day riding the invigorating winds while windsurfing or kitesurfing in the Red Sea’s pristine waters. Unwinding by the Red Sea also includes some laid-back activities, such as Bedouin dining, with delicious slow-cooked food, campfires, and music.
culture & history
Egypt offers you a rich cultural experience that spans thousands of years of history and the continuous practice of age old traditions. Walk into the vestibules of the ancients; explore Ancient Egyptian temples, tombs and other monuments.
Get lost in time, visit museums that display thousands of ancient artifacts such as coins, ceramic art, busts of ancient emperors, mosaics, sarcophagi and mummies. Get enchanted by Ancient Egyptian myths during a sound and light show at the Temple of Philae or Abu-Simbel.
nile
Sailing the Nile along the lush Nile Valley surrounded by golden dunes and sightseeing Ancient Egyptian monuments such as Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel is tourism at its best. Wake to the soft light of the morning sun, take in the heat and cool off in the pool on the deck of a cruiser; watch fishermen cast their nets, farmers take to their fields, a flight of birds, and water buffalos staring back at you. Book a Nile cruise and you just might unravel another layer of the mystery that is Ancient Egypt.
museums
History is synonymous with grandeur in Egypt, and its museums will transport you back in time, where you will take in awe-inspiring history and remarkable collections of antiquities and artistic gems. Spread out across the country, and found in every major city, Egypt’s museums offer a truly soul-enriching experience.
adventure
Adventure deep into the desert; safaris to Western Desert oases, the stunning Great Sand Sea desert and the Sinai desert are engrossing adventures. Rev your engine; quad biking in the Eastern Desert is a rush. Hiking the mountains of Sinai is a gripping experience.
spirit
Retreat from the daily demands of everyday living; take a spiritual retreat to receive spiritual renewal. The stillness of ancient places of worship, the serene settings of Egypt and the calm of a few restful days are the hallmarks of a vacation that allows you to open your mind to thoughts that rarely see the light of day. Visit mosques after prayer time when the mosques are near empty to marvel at old architecture and take in some spiritual silence away from hectic streets.
