It is advisable to book in advance, especially in high season, in order to find the best value for money offers.

Choosing the right hotel can enhance your travel experience in Egypt. Consider location first: If you're interested in the Giza pyramids or the Egyptian Museum, a hotel in Cairo might be ideal. If you prefer to explore the ancient history of Luxor or the Valley of the Kings, choose accommodation in Luxor.Search about the hotel's amenities. Also check the reviews of other travellers. Platforms like TripAdvisor can give you an idea of the quality of service, cleanliness and hospitality of the hotel. 

Finally, in Egypt, the quality of 5-star hotels can vary greatly. Don't be fooled by the rating alone. A 3 or 4 star property with good reviews may be a better option. If you take the time to choose the right hotel, your trip to Egypt can be an unforgettable experience.

The down town is the best option to stay in Cairo, since the most touristic points of the city are located. You will have options of hotels of different categories, it is also an area with a wide variety of restaurants and museums, a lot of atmosphere, with a lot of nightlife.

Packed with resorts, water parks and shops, it's hard to believe that Sharm El Sheikh was once a small fishing village on the Sinai coast. Today it is a completely safe destination and one of the most popular within the tourist circuit in Egypt

Quick Travel guide to Egypt 

Some tips to enjoy your travel to this amazing destination and how to choose your Hotel.

Visa and travel requirements:

If you're planning an adventure in the land of the pharaohs, there are a few key things to keep in mind.

Do you need a visa to enter Egypt?
Pay attention to these tips for traveling to Egypt: the answer is YES. You must apply for a visa to enter the country, in addition to having a passport valid for more than 6 months. How? In three ways: on arrival, electronic visa or with a specialized agency. You can obtain it upon arrival at the airport for approximately $25 USD, or request it online through the official portal of the Egyptian government before your trip. Please check with the Egyptian embassy in your country for specific details on visa requirements.
Other basic requirements include a passport with at least six months validity from the date of entry into the country. In addition, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be necessary to present a negative PCR test carried out within 72 hours prior to arrival.
Always remember to check for the most up-to-date information before your trip!

Who can travel to Egypt  as a tourist?
Regarding vaccinations, the Egyptian government does not specifically require any to enter the country, but it is always advisable to be up to date with universal vaccinations such as Covid, tetanus, measles, etc. Check with your doctor before the trip. If you come from a country where yellow fever is found, you will need to present a vaccination certificate.


  • Try the local food, but DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER!
  • Be patient with local sellers
  • Before traveling it is always advisable to review history, and in Egypt it is even more interesting.
  • As you know, Egypt is a Muslim country, and alcohol is prohibited. But you can have a beer or a cocktail in the hotels and on the cruise itself, even Egyptian brands.

 The weather in Egypt. What is the best season to travel?

As the cradle of ancient civilization and a popular tourist destination, Egypt is known for its mostly sunny climate. However, each season brings its own charm and unique experiences. Knowing the Egyptian climate will help you plan the best time to visit this fascinating country.
The climate in Egypt can be divided into two main seasons: a warm one that lasts from May to October and a cooler one that lasts from November to April. However, “hot” and “cold” in Egypt can be very different from other regions.
In the summer months from May to August, temperatures in Egypt can reach high peaks, especially in the south of the country and in desert regions where they can exceed 40°C. In the capital, Cairo, summer temperatures typically range between 30 and 35°C. Although these months can be hot, they're also the sunniest, offering plenty of hours of daylight to explore.
In contrast, temperatures in the winter months from November to February are significantly lower, averaging 15 to 20°C during the day in Cairo. However, the nights can be quite chilly. This is also the time when Egypt's rare rains are most common.
So what is the best time of year to visit Egypt? In general, the months of spring (March and April) and autumn (October and November) are ideal for a trip to Egypt. During these months, the weather is milder, making it more comfortable to explore the Giza Pyramids, Luxor Temple, the city of Aswan, and other popular travel destinations.
If you want to dive in the Red Sea, the weather in Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada is pleasant all year round, although the summer months can be particularly hot.
Remember that no matter what time of year it is important to always bring sunscreen, a hat and water to protect yourself from the sun. Egypt is a destination steeped in history and culture that will captivate you no matter the weather!

What language is spoken in Egypt
In Egypt, the official language is Modern Standard Arabic, although Egyptian Arabic, a local variant, is widely spoken. Among young people and in the tourism sector, English is spoken and, to a lesser extent, French. To facilitate communication, we suggest you learn some basic Arabic phrases, such as greetings or common questions. However, most tourist spots will have English-speaking guides and staff. We recommend the use of translation apps and phrase guides to help with communication in more complex situations. Be sure to always show respect for the local culture and be patient with language barriers. 

How to get around in Cairo?
To get around in Cairo it is best to use Uber: it is very cheap. All the journeys cost about 30LE (USD1.5). Extra tip: take a card from your hotel with the address in Arabic… not everyone in Egypt speaks or understands English.
