Discover the Magic of EGYPT

The cost of tours in Egypt varies depending on the length of the tour and the complexity of the details. Simple excursions—such as museum tickets, semi-submarine tours, and shopping trips—can cost $10 or less. On the other hand, multi-day Nile cruises can cost $5,000 or more. In between, you can find city tours, trips to the pyramids, and even hot air balloon rides for around $100.

The best month to visit Egypt is October, when temperatures are cooler after the humid summer season. October is also less crowded than the peak season between November and February.

Plan at least 7 to 10 days in Egypt. This will give you time for an evening boat trip on the Nile, sampling Egyptian favorites on a culinary tour, and seeing the famous Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. You might also want to explore centuries of history at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and the temples of Luxor. The Valley of the Kings and Aswan are other important areas to visit.

Yes, guided tours in Egypt are definitely worth it. On expert-led excursions, you can leave the driving to someone else and efficiently see some of the country's most important sights, including the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. Visiting museums, bazaars, and other key attractions is much easier when you're accompanied by someone who speaks the local language and understands the customs.

Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or an e-visa before travel. We recommend checking the current entry requirements for your specific nationality with the Egyptian consulate or your travel agent before booking, since visa rules can change.

The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP), but most tours, hotels, and shops in Hurghada also accept US Dollars and Euros. We recommend carrying some cash in small denominations for tips and local purchases.

Tourist areas like Hurghada, Luxor, Sharm El Sheikh, and Cairo's main sites are generally safe and well-used to international visitors. As with any destination, we recommend following standard travel precautions and staying with your guide during excursions.

Light, breathable clothing is recommended due to the heat, along with comfortable shoes for desert or walking tours. For visits to mosques or religious sites, shoulders and knees should be covered. Swimwear is fine for boat trips and water activities.

Yes, most of our tours include free pickup and drop-off from hotels in Hurghada. Please provide your hotel name when booking so we can arrange the pickup time.

Tipping (locally called "baksheesh") is customary and appreciated for guides, drivers, and service staff, though it is not mandatory. A small tip for a satisfying experience is always welcome.
