Egypt Private Tours

You can easily visit Egypt at any time of the year and have a wonderful experience. That said, the best time to visit Egypt is from October to April, for plenty of sunshine and pleasant weather. The shoulder months of October, March, and April offer fewer tourists at the main attractions, allowing you to explore freely. 

There’s no shortage of fun and exciting things to do in Egypt. It all depends on what you want to do. You can visit the Grand Museum and lively markets of Cairo, or spend time at beach resorts along the Red Sea. Luxury cruises on the Nile are the perfect way to make lasting memories. Then, you can’t skip all the historical sites such as the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, the temple of Ramses II in Abu Simbel, and many more.

It depends on what you want to see and do. For a balanced experience, focused on the pyramids and a Nile cruise, 7 to 10 days are enough. Then, for a more in-depth trip that includes areas like Hurghada or Aswan, you can plan for 10 to 14 days.

Egypt celebrates vibrant festivals throughout the year that give you a glimpse into the country’s cultural and religious landscape. Here are a few festivals worth adding to guided tours in Egypt. 

• Abu Simbel Sun Festival, Upper Egypt – every February 22nd and October 22nd
• Sphinx Festival, El Gouna – June 
• Sandbox Music Festival, El Gouna – early May
• Cairo Jazz Festival, Cairo – late October to early November

Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country, so conservative attire and respect for religious sites are essential. Be mindful of dress codes, avoid public displays of affection, it’s best to drink bottled water, and tipping is customary.
