What is the best time of year to take this tour?

Egypt is most comfortable to visit between October and April, when daytime temperatures are milder; summer months are hotter but still popular thanks to lower prices and quieter sites.

What should I pack for this trip?

Lightweight clothing, comfortable walking shoes, a sun hat, sunscreen and a reusable water bottle cover most days, with a light layer for cooler evenings or air-conditioned transport.

Do I need a visa to visit Egypt?

Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival or an e-visa in advance; we recommend checking the latest requirements for your passport before you travel.
