Egypt Tours & Holidays

Awesome ancient wonders, endless golden sands and atmospheric local souqs make Egypt the ultimate travel destination.

You’ve got to see it to believe it in Egypt – the chaos of Cairo (seriously, this city never stops); the bustling bazaars; the imposing glory of the Pyramids of Giza and the world’s most famous lion with a human head (the iconic Sphinx). Only in Egypt can you sail into the sunset on a felucca cruise along the Nile, marvel at the world's most spectacular temple complexes, wander through Luxor’s Valley of the Kings, and then float facing towards the sky in the glittering expanse of the Red Sea. Take a moment as time stands still in Egypt.

Best time to visit egypt.

Egypt is blessed with lots of sunshine and very little rain. Generally, the hottest months are June to August, and the coolest month is January. Rainfall is negligible, except on the coast, with rain usually occurring during the winter months (December to March).

During the summer months (from June to August), daily temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius - perfect for snorkelling and soaking up the sun on the beaches of Sinai, but can prove challenging for some in the crowded streets and souqs of Cairo. 

Choose to escape the crowds by travelling from March to May or September to November when the weather is milder, and there's the opportunity to experience Egypt during Ramadan and the celebrations of Eid (which marks the breaking of the fast). If you are planning to travel during Ramadan, it's important to consider that many restaurants and shops will either be closed or operating on reduced hours.

Culture and customs

Life in Egypt has been in a state of flux since the 2011 revolution. Many of the issues that motivated so many to take to the streets in protest continue to be points of contention, but Egyptians remain hopeful, relying on religion, family and humour to get them through, like they have for thousands of years. A strong sense of community binds people across the country. Families and communities support each other and there is a prevailing sense that everyone is in it together. For all these reasons, most express great pride in being Egyptian, despite their nation’s recent turmoil.

As a largely Muslim country (about 90% of the population is Muslim while most of the remaining 10% identify as Coptic Christian), Islam permeates daily activities. Life revolves around the five daily prayers and everything is closed on Friday, the Muslim holy day. A wide array of cultural norms, including how people dress and interact with the opposite sex, are influenced by religion. Women are largely defined by their role as a mother and matron of the house, whereas men are expected to be the provider.

Many Egyptians consider their country the gateway between the West and the rest of the Arab world, and take pride in their ability to mix tradition with modern influences. This mixing is most apparent in major cities, such as Cairo and Alexandria, where American fast-food chains can be found next to traditional cafes, secular attitudes are more common, and pop music rings through city streets.

Food and drink

With fragrant spices, fresh fruit and vegetables, and delicious sweets on offer, culinary adventures in Egypt are guaranteed. On many Intrepid trips you'll be given the opportunity to dine with a local family – this offers a great chance to see how meals are prepared and learn more about the ingredients.

Foods to try in Egypt

1. Hamam mahshi

A north African delicacy, hamam – roasted pigeon stuffed with cracked wheat and rice – can be found on the menu of most traditional Egyptian restaurants. You may need a few to fill up though, as they don’t contain a lot of meat. And be careful of all the tiny bones.

2. Ta'ameya (falafel)

Crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, these deep-fried balls of spiced fava beans are a Middle Eastern vegetarian staple. Usually served in a pita with salad, pickles and sesame-based tahina - buy it at a street stall for a quick, cheap meal.

Shops specializing in this popular ‘poor man’s dish’ can be found throughout Cairo. A hearty mix of rice, macaroni and lentils, chickpeas and fried onions, koshary is topped with a tomato-vinegar sauce.

4. Ful medames

Don't leave Egypt without trying the classic dish of ful medames, which can be traced back to pharaonic times. Consisting of slow-cooked fava beans, served with olive oil, parsley, garlic and lemon juice - add some spice by seasoning with chilli paste and eat with bread.

5. Pastries

Delicious, sweet pastries are found in restaurants, markets and cafes in Egypt. Never was there a better time to live by the adage ‘Life is short, eat dessert first’.

Egypt is a mostly Muslim country, and any consumption of alcohol here is relatively low-key. There are many fantastic alternatives. Juice stands are common on main streets offering freshly squeezed banana, guava, or mango juice. Karkadai is a chilled, crimson drink brewed from hibiscus leaves (served hot in the winter). And tea (or shai) is the beverage of choice for most Egyptians, which is sipped throughout the day and with meals.

Geography and environment

Located in the north-east corner of Africa, Egypt shares its borders with Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Libya and Sudan, as well as the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east. The two seas are connected by the man-made Suez Canal.

The remote triangle-shaped peninsula is largely characterised by limestone and desert, but also has a vibrant coral reef along the Red Sea coastline. Hot, dry desert covers most of the country’s terrain, with the Western Desert occupying much of the west, and the Arabian (or Eastern) Desert stretching the length of the eastern coast. These two regions are dissected by the Nile River, which runs the length of the country, emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile Valley, a narrow fertile band extending from the river, is the country’s only fertile land and where 98% of the population lives.

History and government

Recent history.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the infamous pint-sized French leader, invaded Egypt in 1798, seeking to set up a French colony. However, not long after, the French were repelled, and Egypt became a part of the Ottoman Empire once again.

From 1882, the British Army occupied Egypt to protect the Suez Canal. Muhammad Ali officially ruled from the early 1800s, and his family and successors continued to rule for decades (alongside and during British occupation) until overthrown by a military coup in 1952.

During World War II, Egypt became a crucial element in Britain's defence. The Italian Army tried to advance into Egypt in 1940 but was stopped by the British Army at Mersa Matruh. Egypt continued to serve as a vital base for British troops during World War II and despite the disruption, Egypt's shopkeepers and retail trade benefitted from the thousands of Allied troops staying in Egypt.

In 1953, Egypt was officially declared a republic and a year later, Colonel Nasser was declared Prime Minister, then President. In 1979, after decades of confrontation with neighbouring Israel, the historic Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty was signed. This agreement made Egypt the first Arab country to officially recognise Israel as a country - a significant step in the peace process. More recently, in February 2011, large scale protests and mass demonstrations resulted in the removal of President Mubarak after decades of autocratic rule.

Early history

Ancient Egypt has been the focus of much fascination, investigation, speculation and intrigue. It's hard to escape the education system without having studied Ancient Egypt in some way. Drawn in by the mighty pyramids, mysterious hieroglyphics, distinct burial rituals and animal-headed gods - scholars, students, historians and travellers are all amazed by this civilisation which has endured cycles of dynastic rule, invasion and natural disasters.

Through key archaeological finds, historians have been able to unravel some of the mysteries of this great land. What is known is that the daily life of the average Egyptian usually involved working in agriculture with the waters of the Nile providing fertile ground for planting of crops. Egyptians usually lived in modest homes with children and domestic pets. Professions were usually inherited - so if your father was a farmer, then so were you. 

While most Egyptians led simple lives, dynasties of Pharaohs led lavish lifestyles, with the most well-known being Ramses II, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Cleopatra. Huge monuments, imposing pyramids, golden artefacts and detailed paintings all hold details about pharaonic rule and succession, as well as commonly held beliefs about religion and the afterlife. 

Spanning centuries and full of drama worthy of a soap opera, the epic history of Ancient Egypt is complex and we suggest you read about it before visiting.

Top 10 ancient wonders of Egypt

1. grand designs.

The original grand design - monumental and magnificent - the Pyramids of Giza are an impressive achievement in ancient engineering. Towering above the desert sands and standing proudly for centuries, the first glimpse of these stunning structures will render visitors breathless.

2. Stony enigma

Be captivated by the mysterious aura of the Great Sphinx of Giza. This monolithic mythical beast possesses a lion’s body and a human head - and has sat quietly in the desert sands for eons. Gaze at the Sphinx and try to work out the riddle of its existence.

3. Mighty Nile River

No trip to Egypt is complete without visiting the Nile River - the life force of Egypt that has flowed for centuries. A provider of irrigation, an essential travel route, home to hippos and crocodiles, and now a source of leisure for locals and travellers alike, the Nile is an aquatic link to Egypt’s ancient heritage.

4. Terrific temples

Discover an enormous open-air museum like no other. The awe-inspiring Temples of Karnak are filled with stately statues, immense columns and gigantic gateways. Explore this intriguing site and be left in no doubt about the brilliance of the ancient Egyptian civilisation.

5. Holy mountains

Embark on a trek to the top of Mt Sinai and witness an incredible golden sunrise to remember. A place of worship for many faiths, a pilgrimage to Mt Sinai reveals stunning scenery, an ancient monastery and historic chapels. An iconic highlight of Egypt for believers and non-believers alike, Mt Sinai is not to be missed.

6. Double happiness

Located in the Nile Valley, the unique Temple of Kom Ombo is a ‘double temple’ and a rare archaeological find. Dedicated to two gods, a visit here is a true highlight of an Egyptian escapade. Marvel at the well-preserved wall reliefs, try to decipher the hieroglyphics and honour the craftsmen who created this wonder.

7. Museum magic

Step into a dazzling world of antiquity at the Egyptian Museum. Be amazed by the glittering treasures recovered from King Tutankhamun’s tomb – with jewellery, furniture, chariots and that famous gold funerary mask, this pharaoh was certainly prepared for the afterlife.

8. Roman ruins

The Roman ruins of Kom el-Dikka in Alexandria may not be the biggest, but they are certainly among the best-preserved in Egypt, if not the world. Soak up the atmosphere of the Roman amphitheatre and imagine it in all its glory - packed with 800 spectators ready for action.

9. Colossal characters

Near the modern city of Luxor stand the imposing Colossi of Memnon. These massive stone statues of Amenhotep III, while badly damaged, still maintain an unmistakable air of authority. Stand below them and be dwarfed by the scale of these tremendous figures.

10. The ancient heart of Cairo

Wander the cobbled streets of Islamic Cairo and uncover the ancient heart of this chaotic city. Admire mosques, palaces and houses, and peruse the goods on offer at one of the world’s oldest bazaars. Dating back to medieval times, the Khan al-Khalili bazaar is where people have traded goods for centuries.

Souqs – or open-air bazaars – are both the best place to shop in Egypt and attractions in their own right. The biggest and most famous souq is the 500-year-old Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Cairo. Within the maze of narrow streets and laneways lie stalls selling jewellery, glass, copper, spices and artisan goods, along with more standard tourist fare. Quality can vary greatly so spend some time shopping around.

Like many markets around the world, bargaining is the norm, but Egyptians take it to another level. Expect to be offered tea (it can take that long) and for elaborate theatrics from the seller. While bazaars in Cairo tend to sell everything, visit Aswan’s bazaar for spices, incense and basketwork, and Luxor for cheaply priced alabaster figurines and vases. It's also a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. 

Things to buy in Egypt

You’ll often see spices piled high in bazaars. In addition to making a great photo for Instagram, they’re often a good buy as long as you keep a couple of things in mind. Always buy whole spices rather than ground to ensure freshness and skip the ‘saffron’ – it’s actually safflower and tastes like dust.

2. Glassware

Hand-blown Muski glass, recognizable by its air bubbles, comes in brilliant shades of blue and green and purple, and has been made in Egypt since medieval times. Be careful with this purchase though as it’s extremely fragile.

3. Cartouche

A kind of nameplate written in hieroglyphics. Most gold or silver shops sell these and many can customise them by engraving your name.

Festivals and events

Eid al-fitr.

After fasting for an entire month, Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, or ‘Feast of Breaking the Fast’. For three days, starting on the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, people celebrate with feasts, family and festivals. Look for vendors selling kahk cookies (nut-filled cookies covered in powdered sugar) while taking in the festivities, a tasty treat synonymous with Eid for many locals.

Eid al-Adha

Arguably the most important holiday in Egypt, the ‘Feast of Sacrifice’ is not one for vegetarians and vegans. About 70 days after Eid al-Fitr, sheep and goats are slaughtered (often in the middle of the street) for a mighty feast.

Sham el-Nessim

Each year on March 21st, Egyptians celebrate the coming of spring by spending the day outdoors. Join the locals for this ancient holiday by packing a picnic and heading to a park or public garden.

Abu Simbel Sun Festival

As if the two temples dedicated to Ramses II and Queen Nefertari weren’t impressive enough, they were constructed in such a way that twice a year, the sun’s rays reach its innermost chambers and illuminate three stone gods that reside within, while leaving Ptah (god of the underworld) in the dark. And those days just happen to be Ramses’s birthday (October 21) and coronation (February 21). Coincidence? We think not.

Do you need a visa to travel to Egypt?

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you’re visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your nationality.

Is tipping customary in Egypt?

Tipping is customary for pretty much all services in Egypt. A tip of 10–15% is customary at cafes and restaurants and loose change is acceptable for food purchases from street vendors and markets. It’s also a good idea to tip local guides and drivers AUD$4–5 per day.

What is the internet access like in Egypt?

Internet access is growing in Egypt, with internet cafes and Wi-Fi hotspots becoming increasingly common in large cities, especially Cairo, though access may be limited in smaller town and remote areas.

Can I use my mobile phone in Egypt?

Mobile phone coverage is generally good in Egypt’s urban areas, but may not be available in remote and desert areas. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home.

What are the toilets like in Egypt?

Squat toilets are most common in Egypt, although Western-style flushable toilets can be found in larger hotels and some tourist areas.

What will it cost for a...?

Egypt's unit of currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). Here's what you can expect to pay for a:

A couple of pastries = EGP 49 Cup of tea or coffee = EGP 35-50 Falafel sandwich from a street stall = EGP 92 Sit-down dinner at a local restaurant = EGP 200-400

Can I drink the water in Egypt?

Drinking tap water isn’t recommended in Egypt. Remember to avoid drinks with ice and to peel fruit before eating it. Help the environment and try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, fill a reusable water bottle with filtered water. Ask your leader or hotel where to find filtered water.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Egypt?

Credit cards are usually accepted by modern hotels, large retailers and tourist sites but are less commonly accepted by smaller vendors in remote areas. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases in case credit cards are not an option.

What is ATM access like in Egypt?

ATMs are commonly found in larger cities, like Cairo and Alexandria, near shopping centres, tourist areas and 5-star hotels, but are far less common in small towns and rural areas. Make sure you have enough cash before leaving urban areas.

Is Egypt a safe destination for LGBTQIA+ travellers?

Discretion is advised for LGBTQI-travellers in Egypt. Though homosexuality is not officially outlawed, gay men have been prosecuted using debauchery and public morals laws and given long prison sentences. Be aware that signals are ambiguous in Egypt as men commonly hold hands, link arms and greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. As long as you use common sense, travel in Egypt should not be a problem.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex  or ILGA before you travel.

If you are travelling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travellers who do not wish to share a room.

What to wear in Egypt

Summer temperatures can get very high, so light fabrics like linen, cotton and athletic gear made to take the heat are best. If you’re travelling outside of winter, don’t underestimate the cool change that can come in the evenings, especially if you’re spending the night in the desert or on a Nile cruise. Avoid packing anything in white – desert dust will quickly turn those light-coloured clothes a not-so-delightful shade of brown.

Where will I stay in Egypt?

Travelling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavour to provide travellers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.

These are some of the types of accomodations you will stay in:

Felucca Glide down the Nile on a traditional Egyptian felucca; sleep on deck under the stars as the sun slides away for the day - a must-do experience while in Egypt. Homestay

Desert camp Travel deep into the White Desert to camp under the stars amid surreal scenery. This is a rare chance to experience the remote wonder and isolation of the Egyptian desert.

Beach hut With calming Red Sea views and fresh sea breezes, this rustic breach abode is all about life’s simple pleasures.

How will I travel around Egypt?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.

How do I stay safe and healthy while travelling?

Related FAQs to Egypt Tours From UK

What’s the best time to embark on an egypt tour from the uk.

Embarking on an Egypt tour from the UK is a mesmerizing journey waiting to unfold its wonders. The best time to visit Egypt on this adventure is during autumn’s cool embrace, from late September to November. This window offers the perfect climate – the oppressive summer heat has waned, yet the chill of winter has not yet set in. Imagine strolling through the timeless pyramids of Giza or sailing along the Nile under the gentle sun, all while relishing comfortable temperatures. It’s when history meets a traveler’s dream, crafting an unforgettable experience.

Are Egypt tours suitable for solo travelers?

Egypt tours are a treasure trove of delights for solo travelers. Egypt’s ancient allure is heightened by its warm and welcoming locals, who embrace travelers like old friends.

The camaraderie of group tours and the availability of knowledgeable guides ensure that solo travelers can immerse themselves in Egypt’s wonders while forging new connections along the way.

Can I explore Egypt’s attractions on my own?

Exploring Egypt’s captivating attractions on your own is an enticing endeavor for the intrepid explorer. Picture yourself charting your course through the vibrant chaos of Cairo’s streets or tracing the footsteps of pharaohs within ancient temples. Yet, remember that Egypt’s historical tapestry can sometimes be intricate and mysterious. Engaging with a local guide can be the key to unlocking the secrets hidden within the stones and hieroglyphs. They’ll weave the threads of history into a vivid narrative, painting a richer picture of Egypt’s past and present.

Nile River cruises are the enchanted vessels that carry your Egypt tour to another realm of enchantment. As you sail on the timeless waters that have witnessed millennia of history, you’ll be treated to a front-row seat to Egypt’s iconic landscapes. Imagine drifting past lush palm-fringed shores while ancient temples rise from the riverbanks, narrating tales of time gone by. The gentle rhythm of the Nile becomes a soothing melody, enhancing your journey between iconic sites. It’s a voyage where history and modern comfort merge, creating an immersive and unforgettable Egypt tour experience.

How much is a guided trip to Egypt?

Embarking on a guided trip to Egypt is a wise investment in a realm of wonder. The cost of such a journey can vary, much like the shifting sands of the desert. On average, a comprehensive guided tour to Egypt may range from £1500 to £2500, depending on factors such as the tour duration, the level of accommodation, and the included experiences. This investment ensures access to expert guides who unlock the mysteries of ancient sites, seamless transportation, and handpicked accommodations that offer a comfortable oasis after each day’s exploration. Remember, the experiences and memories from an Egypt tour are priceless, making every penny spent a genuine bargain for a journey through time.

Tipping or Baksheesh in Egypt

Tipping, or baksheesh, is a common practice in Egypt and is considered a way to show appreciation for good service. It’s important to note that while tipping is not mandatory, it is expected in many situations, and it’s a good idea to carry small bills and change for this purpose.

Here are some standard tipping practices in Egypt:

• Tour guides: Tipping your tour guide at the end of your tour is customary. The amount will depend on the length of the tour and the level of service provided, but a good rule of thumb is around 10-20% of the total cost of the tour.
• Hotel staff: Tipping hotel staff, such as bellhops and housekeeping, is familiar. A small tip of 10-20 Egyptian pounds per day is appropriate.
• Drivers: If you hire a driver, it’s customary to tip them at the end of your trip. The amount will depend on the length of the journey and the level of service provided, but a good rule of thumb is around 50-100 Egyptian pounds per day.
• Restaurants: It’s common to leave a tip of around 10-15% of the total bill at restaurants. Some restaurants may include a service charge on the bill, so check before tipping.

In summary, tipping or baksheesh is a common practice in Egypt, and it’s important to have small bills and changes on hand. The amount to tip will depend on the service provided. Still, as a general rule, a tip of 10-20% of the total cost is appropriate for tours and restaurants, while smaller tips of 10-20 Egyptian pounds per day are appropriate for hotel staff and drivers.

What are the best places to visit in Egypt?

Egypt is rich in history and culture, with many fascinating places to visit. Here are some of the top destinations that should be on your list when visiting Egypt:

The Pyramids of Giza: The iconic pyramids are one of the most famous landmarks in Egypt and are a must-visit destination. They are located just outside of Cairo and are the last surviving wonders of the ancient world.

Luxor: Known as the world’s most excellent open-air museum, Luxor is home to some of the most impressive ancient Egyptian monuments, including the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple.

Cairo: Egypt’s bustling capital city is a vibrant and chaotic metropolis full of life and energy. Highlights include the Egyptian Museum, the Al-Azhar Mosque, and the Khan El Khalili bazaar.

Abu Simbel: This ancient temple complex, located near the Sudanese border, is one of the most impressive sites in Egypt. The temples were built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II and are known for their enormous statues and intricate carvings.

Aswan: This laid-back city in southern Egypt is known for its stunning natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere. Highlights include the Philae Temple, the Aswan Dam, and the Nubian Museum.

Alexandria: Located on the Mediterranean coast, Alexandria is a historic city once home to one of the ancient world’s most famous libraries. Highlights include the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, the Citadel of Qaitbay, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

Sinai Peninsula: This rugged and mountainous region is home to some of Egypt’s most beautiful natural scenery, including Mount Sinai and the Red Sea coast.

In summary, Egypt has many incredible destinations to explore, from the ancient monuments of Luxor and the Pyramids of Giza to the bustling streets of Cairo and the natural beauty of the Sinai Peninsula.

What to bring with you on a trip to Egypt?

When planning a trip to Egypt, it’s important to pack the right items to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Here are some things to consider bringing with you:

Sunscreen: Egypt is a desert country, and the sun can be intense, so it’s important to pack sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin.

Comfortable walking shoes: Many of Egypt’s top attractions involve a lot of walking, so make sure you bring comfortable shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain.

Lightweight clothing: Egypt can be hot, so pack light clothing from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Packing clothes that cover your shoulders and knees is also a good idea, particularly if you plan to visit religious sites.

Scarf or shawl: Women visiting Egypt may want to bring a scarf or shawl to cover their heads when entering mosques or other religious sites.

Water bottle: Staying hydrated is important in Egypt’s hot climate, so bring a reusable water bottle to refill throughout the day.

Insect repellent: Mosquitoes can be a problem in some regions of Egypt, particularly during the summer, so pack insect repellent to keep them at bay.

Camera: Egypt is a country full of fantastic photo opportunities, so bring a camera to capture all the incredible sights.

Power adapter: Egypt uses European-style power sockets, so if you’re coming from outside Europe, you’ll need to bring a power adapter to charge your electronic devices.

Packaging these essential items will prepare you for a comfortable and enjoyable trip to Egypt.

Advices for women while traveling to Egypt

Traveling as a woman in Egypt can be a rewarding and exciting experience, but it’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and comfort. Here are some tips for women traveling to Egypt:

Dress conservatively: Egypt is a Muslim country, and it’s important to respect local customs and dress conservatively. It’s a good idea to cover your shoulders and knees when in public places, especially when visiting mosques or other religious sites.

Avoid walking alone at night: It’s best to avoid walking alone at night, especially in quiet or poorly-lit areas. Instead, take a taxi or use a ride-hailing app to get around.

Use a guide or tour group: Using a guide or tour group can be a good idea, especially if you’re traveling alone. This can help you navigate local customs and culture, and can provide an extra layer of safety.

Be cautious with alcohol: Drinking alcohol in public is prohibited in Egypt, and it’s important to be cautious with alcohol consumption. Stick to drinking in licensed bars and restaurants, and avoid getting drunk in public.

Be aware of your surroundings: It’s always important to be aware of your surroundings, especially when traveling in a new place. Be cautious of pickpockets, scams, and other potential dangers, and trust your instincts if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

Research local customs and culture: Researching local customs and culture can help you better understand the country and avoid inadvertently offending locals. For example, it’s important to remove your shoes when entering a mosque, and to avoid physical contact with people of the opposite sex in public.

By following these tips and being aware of local customs and culture, women can have a safe and enjoyable experience traveling in Egypt.

Learn Arabic words to enjoy your visit to Egypt

Learning a few Arabic words and phrases can enhance your experience when visiting Egypt, as it shows respect for the local culture and can help you communicate with locals. Here are some Arabic words and phrases to know:

• Salaam Alaikum: This is a common Arabic greeting that means “peace be upon you.” Locals will appreciate it if you greet them with this phrase.
• Shukran: This means “thank you.” It’s always polite to show gratitude when someone helps you or does something for you.
• Sabah Al-Khair: This means “good morning.” It’s a polite way to greet someone in the morning.
• Masaa Al-Khair: This means “good evening.” It’s a polite way to greet someone in the evening.
• Laa Shukran: This means “no, thank you.” You can use this phrase when declining an offer or a service.
• Min Fadlak: This means “please.” You can use this word when making a request.
• Afwan: This means “you’re welcome.” You can use this word to respond to someone who has thanked you.

19 of the best Egypt tours

Get to the heart of egypt on an organised tour, whether you want to walk in the footsteps of pharaohs, take a cruise down the nile or scuba-dive over coral reefs in the red sea.

T he Great Pyramid, the Valley of the Kings, the Nile, the Red Sea — these very names are redolent of grand adventures and the golden age of travel. Egypt has so many knock-out sights, it’s hard to know where to begin. A tour operator will help you make sense of it all and plan your time most wisely, leaving you free to concentrate on enjoying yourself.

There are myriad options, whatever your time, budget, group size and interests, though almost all will include some sort of sailing trip down the Nile. Most will also provide expert local guides who can bring the ancient history of the country to life and organise day-to-day logistics. Be sure to check what’s included in the itinerary when booking; some will cover everything except gratuities and travel insurance; others will sort out domestic travel and accommodation but otherwise leave you to your own devices.

1. Slow boat to Aswan, Wild Frontiers

Allow life to really slow down on this unique ten-day trip along the Nile from Luxor to Aswan, with four nights spent on a private houseboat. You’ll visit the big temple complexes, including Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel, but there are a load of attractions included that aren’t on traditional itineraries, including Daraw camel market and the ancient stone quarries at El Silsila. There’s also an emphasis on local life away from historic sites, with stops at small villages on the riverbank likely to be a highlight. The rate doesn’t include flights.

Group size 4-12 Price ££

2. Egyptian family adventure, Exodus

Riding a camel in front of the pyramids, catching a sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan, sailing on a felucca down the Nile, watching a light show at Karnak temple, snorkelling in the Red Sea — what child isn’t going to like that? These are some of the activities on offer as part of this nine-day family tour of Egypt, with tour guide, flights and meals included. The itinerary packs in a lot but there’s still plenty of time for you to explore on your own or to relax; another bonus for families is that all the hotels have swimming pools.

Group size 8-20 Price ££

3. Explore Egypt, Intrepid

With 15 days at your disposal, you cover a lot of ground on this small group tour run by Intrepid in conjunction with Lonely Planet. You’ll start in Cairo before heading down to Luxor and Aswan for temple visits and a Nile river cruise on a felucca; you’ll also get to relax on the Red Sea, and head to the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. One of the highlights is a night spent at a homestay in a Nubian village near Aswan. Note that there is a lot of free time on the itinerary, and you’ll need to pay for entry into any sites you visit on your own; flights are also excluded from the price.

Group size 1-16 Price £

4. Dreams of Egypt, Wendy Wu

Two of the many highlights on this 11-day trip are the means of transport you’ll use to get between locations. There’s the first-class sleeper train you’ll take from Cairo to Luxor, having already visited the pyramids, old Cairo and Alexandria; and there’s the boat you’ll call home for four nights as you cruise between Luxor and Aswan, hopping on and off to visit historic sites along the Nile valley. Before flying home, you’ll get to see the pyramids again — this time at night, to enjoy the Sound and Light show. All guides, meals and flights are included.

Group size 8-18 Price ££

5. Family Egyptian Sphinx, pyramids and Nile river, Explore!

This is the sort of family trip that’ll form life-long memories for you and your kids. You’ll visit all the famous sights you’ve heard about, including the pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings, and you get to experience a proper adventure along the way. Likely highlights for your children are spending the night sleeping on the deck of a felucca, playing with local kids in a Nubian village and snorkelling over the reefs at the Red Sea. The pace is geared to family life — not too long spent at historic sights, with time left for your own pursuits or the hotel pool on most days. Flights are not included.

Group size 4-20 Price £

6. Classic Alexandria mini adventure, G Adventures

With only three days, what can you do in Egypt? Quite a lot, as it turns out. G Adventures has a three-day itinerary that whisks you from Cairo to Alexandria and back again. You’ll spend time in Coptic and Islamic Cairo, go on a food tour through the city, take a felucca ride down the Nile, have a seafood lunch by the Mediterranean, and visit a Roman theatre and catacombs in Alexandria. As flights aren’t included in the rate, this could be a good option to tag on to the beginning or end of a longer holiday in Egypt.

Group size maximum 15 Price ££

7. Wonders of the Nile: Cairo to Aswan, Riviera Travel

Home for 14 nights is the MS Mövenpick Darakum, which, with 52 cabins, is one of the larger boats to take to the waters of the Nile. Unlike most tours, you’ll journey on board all the way south to Aswan from Cairo, rather than start from Luxor. You’ll also stop at a number of sites not normally covered on other itineraries, including the temples at Dendera and Abydos and the ruined city of Amarna. There’s plenty of leisure time, too — we recommend spending this lying on a day bed on the sun deck and watching life drift by in front of you.

Group size maximum 50 Price ££

8. Egypt: Ancient wonders of Cairo and the Nile, Cox & Kings

Four of the nights on this eight-day itinerary are spent on the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer, a supremely comfortable 32-cabin boat complete with swimming pool, sun deck, library and games room. You’ll spend the days drifting down the Nile in the company of expert Egyptologists, who’ll give lectures on board and accompany you on the frequent trips to ancient sites along the river, including the Valley of the Queens, Philae Temple and Karnak. The trip is bookended with time in Cairo, with visits to both the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum.

Group size maximum 18 Price ££

9. Felucca odyssey and Dahab explorer, Travel Talk

You’ll visit more sights than you knew existed on this 13-day tour, which takes you from Cairo down the Nile to Luxor and Aswan and on to the Sinai peninsula. The pyramids, Sphinx and the more popular Nile valley attractions are all here, alongside a good number of lesser-visited temples. After such a packed itinerary, you’ll appreciate the three days spent at the laid back Red Sea resort of Dahab. There are options to add extra activities to the tour, including diving, quad-biking and camel treks. You’ll also need to budget for flights and most lunches and dinners.

Group size 12-42 Price £

10. Egypt and the Red Sea for teenagers, On the Go

Covering Cairo, the Nile valley and the Red Sea, this is a family-orientated trip that covers some of Egypt’s best experiences. Throughout, there’s a balance between activities that parents and grandparents might prefer (temple and museum visits) and those more geared towards teenagers, such as snorkelling and water sports. Camel rides and felucca trips are guaranteed to bring all together. There’s free time built into the schedule each day, and all the hotels have pools or beach access, should you just wish to relax. You’ll need to factor in extra money for flights, entrance fees and guide tips.

Group size 4-18 Price £

11. Ultimate Egypt: Culture on the Nile, Black Tomato

This tour covers the traditional highlights of the Nile: Cairo, Aswan and Luxor. But it is so much more than that. The magic lies in the small, unique moments experienced along the way. These might be a sunset camel ride along the west bank of the Nile near Aswan; joining a local family for an Egyptian feast at their home in Luxor; meeting master craftsmen in Cairo’s Khan el-khalili market; and taking an after-hours tour of the Egyptian Museum. Black Tomato suggests six days for the tour but can tailor to your requirements; flights are excluded from their rates.

12. Taste of the Nile, Original Travel

You’re not going to get much closer to a true Agatha Christie experience in Egypt than by boarding the very same ship that took her down the Nile in the 1930s: the SS Sudan. The 19th-century steam ship has been restored to its original full glory, with teak decks, belle époque decor and period fittings. The five days on board, drifting from Luxor to Aswan, are just one highlight of the ten-day trip, which also includes guided visits to the Great Sphinx and pyramids of Giza, the holy city of Abydos and the temples at Edfu, Kom Ombo and the Valley of the Kings. The tour includes meal, guiding, all flights and the services of a local concierge.

13. Cairo and beach, Audley Travel

If you’ve never thought to combine a city and beach break in Egypt, think again. Audley Travel has an 11-day itinerary that allows you to experience all the cultural highlights of Cairo, including the pyramids and the Khan el-khalili market, with six nights at a Red Sea resort. Here you can do as little or as much as you’d like — taking a day trip into the desert for a camel ride, learning to dive, or simply heading to the spa. There’s plenty of free time in both destinations (though note you’ll pay extra for activities outside those scheduled). Flights are included in the rates.

16. Ultimate Red Sea, Blue O Two

Dive specialists Blue O Two aren’t exaggerating when they call this itinerary the “ultimate Red Sea”. For ten days, you’ll live aboard the Blue Melody, a 26-capacity vessel with twin and double cabins. The boat travels from Hurghada around the coast to remote off-shore locations near Sharm El Sheikh, with several dives planned for each day. There’s a chance to see dolphins, sharks and shipwrecks and explore marine parks. Note that this is for experienced divers only; you’ll need to have 30 logged dives under your belt to book. You’ll also need to sort out your own flights.

If an Egypt tour to you means the Nile and the ancient pharaonic sites along its banks, the classic Nile itinerary offered by luxury operator Abercrombie & Kent has your name written all over it. The five-night trip takes you between Luxor and Aswan, with most of that time spent on the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer, a beautifully designed boat with 32 cabins, all with river views.

Here’s something really special — the chance to sail down the Nile from Luxor to Aswan on exquisitely designed dahabiyas, or houseboats. There are six to choose from, and each is beautifully decorated with large decks and comfortable social spaces. The five-night itineraries skip the more popular temple complexes in favour of smaller and less-known sights, so you feel like you’re making fresh discoveries every day and don’t have to battle crowds. A staff of 15 is on hand to make your trip as relaxed or as educational as you’d like.

Egypt holidays 2024 & 2025

Pyramids rise above sun-baked sands. The Sphinx stares, unblinking, into a relentlessly blue sky. Boats wend their way down the waters of the Nile. Traders hawk their wares in the dusty bazaars. In many ways, Egypt seems timeless, unchanging. However, modern politics are very present in this ancient land and our specialists continue to visit Egypt to gauge the atmosphere and levels of service available throughout the country.

In our experience it remains a friendly and hospitable place, and our experts can craft a tailored itinerary to help you explore this dynamic destination. A cruise down the Nile  is still one of the most effective ways to see Egypt, including the archaeological treasures around Aswan and Luxor. But there is more to see on an Egypt holiday than the ancient sites — coral reefs in the clear waters of the Red Sea, afternoon tea at the Victorian-era Old Cataract Hotel, medieval sites in the souqs of Cairo.

Useful information for planning your holiday in Egypt

Modern Standard Arabic is the official language of Egypt. However, you’ll mostly hear people speaking the Egyptian dialect, a colloquial variety of Modern Standard Arabic that has some different words and pronunciation. While people in other Arab countries speak different varieties of Arabic, Egyptian Arabic is widely understood because Egyptian cinema and soap operas are popular across the region.

That said, all of the guides we pair you with can speak English to varying degrees, and you should be able to communicate with drivers, market stall vendors, and other service workers in larger cities and towns. However, in Upper Egypt, away from the main visitor sites, souqs, and hotels, people might not speak any English at all.

The currency of Egypt is the Egyptian pound (LE or EGP), which is divided into 100 piastres (PT). Bank notes come in denominations LE5, LE10, LE20, LE50, LE100, and LE200 and coins in denominations of LE1, PT50, and PT25.

You can use credit cards in hotels, as well as larger restaurants and shops, but not in many other places. There are ATMs in most major towns, and foreign currency can be exchanged for the Egyptian pound at many bank branches and Forex outlets.

You’ll find plenty of falafels, hummus, kofta, and flat bread in Egypt. But for something a little different, we recommend trying Nubian food in the south, such as bamia, an okra stew, or kushari, a spicy lentil and chickpea dish, both of which are typically cooked in earthenware pots.

Egypt has a long history of brewing, so you could try one of the local beers, such as Stella, not to be mistaken with Stella Artois, or Saqqara Gold. For something non-alcoholic, try a sweetened tea with mint leaves or a sugarcane juice.

Tipping, known as baksheesh locally, is expected for almost any service given to you, and you should aim to tip 10–15% in restaurants on top of the standard service charge and VAT.

You should also tip guides, drivers, porters, and other service workers, even if the service given is very small. However, the amount depends on various factors, so we can provide you specific guidance before you travel.

That said, some people will request a tip without even offering a service, such as approaching you and giving you advice or information without you requesting it. In these instances, we recommend that you say no to any unsolicited help and walk away.

For the latest travel advice for Egypt, including entry requirements, health information, and the safety and security situation, please refer to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office website .

Most people come to Egypt for its sun-baked pyramids, hieroglyphics-carved tombs, and riverside ruins that date back thousands of years, but while there, you can also unwind on the deck of a luxury ship on the Nile, watch vividly patterned fish dart in and out of coral reefs as you snorkel in the Red Sea, or try your hand at bartering in the spangled souqs of Cairo.

We can pair you with an Egyptologist who will reveal the secrets of pharaohs and ancient peoples as you descend into 4000-year-old tombs that still appear to be freshly painted, attempt to decrypt the symbols etched into towering columns, and walk alongside the ever-watchful mythical creatures carved out of stone.

Egypt offers a wealth of different stays, including luxury beach resorts, classically designed hotels overlooking the pyramids, and Nile cruise ships that range from simple and comfortable to around-the-clock butler service. While there are many international hotels dotted around Egypt, we can help you find more characterful stays too, such as a rustic Nubian-style ecolodge or a 19th-century Victorian hotel  perched on a pink granite cliff overlooking the Nile.

Our specialists can help you find an Egyptian stay to suit your tastes, but, in the meantime, you can take a look at a selection of the hotels we have to offer .

It’s usually best to start your Egypt trip in Cairo where you can take in the towering pyramids of Giza before heading onto Luxor  and Aswan to further unravel the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. In Luxor, you can explore the Valley of the Kings, Colossi of Memnon, and Temple of Ramesses III, while Aswan  cradles the imposing temple complexes of Edfu and Kom Ombo as well as the Temple of Philae.

If you’d like to unwind after a whirlwind tour of Egypt’s pharaonic lands, you could add on a beach stay at either Hurghada or El Quseir to swim and snorkel in the coral-adorned Red Sea , or head north to Alexandria to learn about the Greco-Roman past of this now-chilled-out city.

Many people also combine Egypt with a trip to Jordan to witness the third-century ruins of Petra .

It takes around 5–7 hours to fly from the UK to Cairo, Egypt. We recommend flying with British Airways, Air France, Egypt Air, and a few other airlines, which we can advise on.

The time zone in Egypt is GMT+2 from October to April and GMT+3 from April to October.

The best way to get around Egypt across longer distances, such as between Cairo and Luxor, is to fly, and then you can take private cars with a guide for shorter distances. Another popular way of seeing Egypt is taking a cruise along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, discovering the ancient civilisations that flourished on the riverbanks along the way.

British passport holders typically need a three-month visa to enter Egypt. These can be purchased before you travel on the official government website or you can buy one on arrival for $25 per person, which must be paid in US dollars.

You should check with your doctor to see which vaccinations you’ll need for Egypt, but we recommend that you’re at least up to date with the vaccinations recommended for your home country. You can take a look at suggested vaccinations for Egypt on the Travel Health Pro website .

Your passport must be valid for six months after the date of departure from Egypt and have a minimum of one unstamped double page free.

Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country, and while you don’t need to cover up completely, the more you do, the less unwanted attention you’ll get. Men should never be in public without some kind of shirt on, and women are best to cover their shoulders and knees. You should remove shoes if visiting a mosque, no matter your gender, and women will need to cover their hair.

The weather in Egypt is typically hot and dry during the day but can become much cooler in the evening during the winter months (December to March), so we also recommend packing layers, as well as comfortable and sturdy shoes.

During the holy month of Ramadan, many Muslim locals will be fasting, and while you won’t be expected to fast too, you shouldn’t eat, drink or smoke in public out of respect. You may find that restaurants and shops change their opening hours to help staff who are fasting and attending the mosque for prayer, but hotels and visitor sites will remain open as normal.

Can i drink tap water in Egypt?

Don't drink the tap water - it is highly chlorinated. However, with enough time in Egypt, you could potentially grow accustomed to the water. This doesn't mean that the tap water is polluted, it simply means that you are not used to it, and you might get stomach problems. This happened to most people when they visit a country for the first time. They were simply not used to water there. It's a similar situation here. It is advisable to drink Bottled water during your entire holiday. That is why it is strongly advisable that you don't drink the tap water, and use it only for washing and brushing your teeth.

What is the best time to visit Egypt 2024 ?

Enjoy Egypt Tours From September until March. It is the perfect time when the weather is good and mild. From September until mid-November, when it is very nice and the temperatures are pleasant for all activities - around 25 C to 15 C. mid-Nov until the end of February is wintertime when temperatures during the day are around 12 or 15 C, and at night can drop to about 7 or 8 C. In March and April, the weather is still so nice and travelers can enjoy the Easter vacation. From May to September is the summer season. Spending summertime in a desert climate does not appeal to most travelers. Average daytime temperatures hover in the high 80s and low to mid-90s, although they can jump up into three digits in the South as in Luxor and Aswan. Summer is really hot here, prices go down and it is a good chance for travelers with a tight budget.

How is the weather in Egypt?

It is usually hot and sunny. winter falls between November and January, and the peak of the summer months is between June and August. Winters are generally mild, although temperatures can fall below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) at night. In the Western Desert. Cairo and areas of the Nile Delta may experience a few rainy days during winter. Summers can be unbearably hot, especially in the desert and other areas of the country's interior. In Cairo, average summer temperatures regularly exceed 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius), while the record high for Luxor and Aswan, popular tourist destinations on the banks of the River Nile, is 110 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius).

Is Egypt safe to travel to ?

Safety and security are our first and foremost concerns! Egypt is a very safe country with a low crime rate. Now with the coronavirus outbreak, accommodations and sightseeing nationwide have finalized sterilization and disinfection in light of the Egyptian government's efforts to implement precautionary measures against the COVID-19. In addition, our company has followed the same procedures to make all our staff, guides, and drivers are well-trained with the current events to prevent and stop the spread of this outbreak. Traveling the world is a joyful experience and we want to do our part to keep the anticipation stress-free.

What are the best things to do in Egypt?

There are many things to do in Egypt during your visit depending on your interests and character. Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan Nile cruise must be your first priority if you are a history and culture lover. You must visit the pyramids of Giza, enjoy a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan and enjoy visiting the most important tourist attractions in Luxor and Aswan. You can visit the city of Hurghada, Marsa Alam, or Sharm el-Sheikh Red Sea for relaxation and enjoy many activities there such as diving, snorkeling, sunbathing, or swimming. You may like to go on a safari trip in the western desert if you are an adventurer. Many other activities are available in every single Egyptian city

Should I visit Egypt during Summer?

The high season for tourism is all year with winter and spring being peak season for cultural travels with lots of sightseeing. Weather in Egypt is perfect for many kinds of tourism, and if coming in June, July, and August, head for the seaside resorts. Those months are very warm with temperatures that can reach around 45C. and the humidity is about 70 to 80%, but it is bearable with the sea and large swimming pools nearby. So the period of the high summer season is also a bit busy as hotels fill up with tourists from all over the world looking for a bargain, lots of sunshine, diving, snorkeling, etc. It is also a primary vacation time in Europe. If you come in the deep summer season you can still enjoy it because you can always sightsee early in the morning and go again at night when the sunsets. You will definitely need good sunscreen and a lot of liquids to drink with a nice hat on your head. Summer is a good time for people looking for good rates in accommodation and other services.

What is the dress code in Egypt?

Egypt is a Muslim country and the dress code is towards the conservative side, especially for women. That being said, we are used to seeing travelers from all over the world. My suggestion would be to wear light clothes and not to wear short shorts, short skirts and alike to avoid the occasional unwanted stare. But it's really up to you. When you visit religious places (synagogues, churches, and mosques) you do need to cover your shoulders and wear over the knee dresses, if you are planning to wear one of course. If you plan to attend the Nile dinner cruise, there is no need for formal wear unless you want to make that night a special night! Also, you will be sharing this experience with other travelers so you can dress however you feel most comfortable.

How to get visa to visit Egypt?

You can get your visa when you arrive at Cairo Airport. It is an easy process for USA, UK, Canadian, Australian and European citizens. The visa is simply a stamp (like a mail or postage stamp) that you buy from the visa office, at the port of entry just before the immigration booth. The visa will cost you $25 US Dollars and after buying it; you just stick it on any empty page on your passport. Once you have bought your visa you then stand in line to get your passport stamped by the immigration officer. You can also apply for E-Visa via the official electronic visa portal: www.visa2egypt.gov.eg

How many days in Egypt is enough?

Your Egypt Tours travel agency recommends two weeks so that you can enjoy the temples and tombs of Luxor and Aswan, explore the sights of Cairo, and relax in the Red Sea islands and nature reserves.

What is the best Nile River cruise?

There are many Nile cruises. Not to name one but your choice depends on many things to put in mind such as the number of nights you want to spend on the cruiser, your budget, and the standard of the Nile cruise. We recommend you choose a 5-star luxury Nile cruise, and if you are looking for a private Nile River cruise you can choose Dahabiya cruises, it is only for the small-group tour, about 15 people. Most cruises have. There is another way of cruising the Nile, which is the Felucca boat. It is traditional and charming but it is cheap as long as it will be ok to sleep on the deck exposed to mosquitos and most of these boats do not have a toilet

What are Egypt travel from UK?

Egypt travel are pre-arranged tours that include accommodations, transportation, guided tours, and sometimes meals and activities.  

When is best time of the year to travel to Egypt?

The best time to visit Egypt is generally from October to April where it is suitable for outdoor activities and sightseeing.

Egypt tours from London have always been extremely popular. Egypt is a truly fascinating destination that has attracted tourist from around the world for so many decades already. One of the best things about visiting the country from London is the convenience. Flying from London to Cairo only takes about five hours. With a bit of shopping around, one can almost always find exceptional flight deals. In fact, some flights from London to Cairo actually cost less than some UK domestic flights.

With the cost of flights from London to Cairo being so reasonable, it’s hardly surprising that Egypt tours from London are so popular. Choosing a tour package can be a challenge though because there are just so many to choose from. Sadly, many people are won over by what appears to be, unbelievably low prices. They go for the cheapest offer they can find, and then they end up regretting it. Many people will even regret visiting Egypt, and only because they failed to book their tour through a reputable tour operator.

At Arabiya Tours, we don’t offer the cheapest Egypt tours from London. Offering the cheapest Egypt tours from London is not our goal. Our goal is to offer the very best Egypt tours while at the same time keeping them as affordable as we possibly can. Customer satisfaction is the driving force behind our tours, and it all begins from the moment you contact us for the first time to book or plan your tour.

Egypt Tours from London Your Way

At Arabiya Tours, we believe in the importance of flexible travel itineraries. Our fully customizable Egypt tours from London allow you to enjoy Egypt your way. If you have found a particular tour package that you like but you would like some changes to be made, just let us know. One of our highly experienced travel specialists will then work with you in order to create an itinerary that fits your needs exactly.

We also offer Custom Egypt Tours from London that allows you to create your very own personalized tour itinerary from scratch. Just let us know what attractions you want to see; what activities you want to engage in, and what your budget is. Once we have all the information we need, we will then send you a draft itinerary. If further changes need to be made, simply let us know. If the draft itinerary meets your needs, we can then send you a finalized copy for your approval.

Quick and Easy Visa Processing When Traveling to Egypt from London

One of the things which make our Egypt tours from London so appealing is the ease with which an entry visa for Egypt can be acquired. There are many nationalities living in the United Kingdom, and many travel on passports other than UK passports. We can’t provide information in this post for all types of passports, but if you are traveling on a British passport then you really have nothing to worry about.

If you are traveling on a British passport you can obtain an Egyptian entry visa at your nearest Egyptian Embassy or consular office in the UK. You can also obtain a Visa on Arrival at any of Egypt’s international airports or at certain land border crossings. Lastly, you can apply for an online e-Visa prior to traveling to Egypt. Egypt’s relatively new e-Visa is very convenient and the application process is as straightforward as it could possibly be.

In order to apply for an Egypt e-Visa, you will need to set up an account on the official Egypt e-Visa Portal. Once you have set up your account, simply follow the on-screen instructions.

5-Star Nile River Cruises from London

It is often said that Nile River cruises provide the best opportunity for tourists to experience the essence of Ancient Egypt. They are a great way to see and explore several of Egypt’s most treasured ancient sites in a relatively short space of time. When you only have two or three weeks to spare, it is impossible for you to see all of the country’s ancient monuments. Nile River cruises do, however, allow you to see some of the very best ones that are located along the banks of the Nile.

Because Nile cruises are so immensely popular, you will find them featured in most of our existing Egypt tours from London. All Nile cruises that are featured on our site are 5-Star cruises that include full board. The same applies to any and all Lake Nasser cruises available on our site. All cruises also include daily onshore excursions with our professional Egyptologist guides.

High Quality Egypt Guided Tour Packages from London

All of our Egypt tours from London are professionally guided tours. Most of our tour packages include one or more sightseeing tours in and around Cairo. These are typically private guided tours. One of our Egyptologist tour guides and one of our drivers meet you at your hotel in the mornings, and then you are driven from one site to the next in one of our deluxe air-conditioned vehicles. Your designated guide then accompanies you on a tour of the various places you visit.

If you choose one of our Egypt tours from London that includes a Nile River cruise, all tours during your cruise will be small group tours that you share with some of our other clients. Groups are kept small and each group is accompanied by one of our Egyptologist guides. All of our guides speak fluent English, while a number of them also speak additional languages fluently.

Some of our Sahara Desert adventure tours are also small group tours, but this will always be made clear in our tour itineraries. Nearly all snorkeling and/or SCUBA diving tours are also small group tours. This is worth noting if you intend booking one of our Egypt tours from London that include snorkeling or SCUBA diving. All dives are done in the presence of a professional and fully certified diving guide. Private guided dives can also be arranged, but this would naturally cost more.

General Health and Safety When Visiting Egypt from London

Egypt does not really have any serious health related risks. Some travelers do however choose to get themselves vaccinated prior to visiting. If you are concerned about possible health risks, we strongly recommend that you visit your local travel clinic for professional advice. This should preferably be done at least six weeks prior to your intended date of departure from the UK.

Things like sunburn, heatstroke, dehydration and stomach bugs tend to be the most common heath related problems experienced by tourists. When you book one of our Egypt tours from London, you will be supplied with free bottled water during your tours and any road trips. Our tour packages are also structured in such a way so that most tours and excursions take place in the mornings and late afternoons. This allows us to mostly avoid being out during the hottest time of the day.

Our guides are all local people with extensive knowledge regarding their surroundings, and they will gladly offer you advice about where and what to eat. This can help you to avoid picking up a stomach bug. While we do all we can to safeguard you against these common problems, there will be times when you will be on your own. During such times, just make sure you stay well hydrated, and avoid eating food and/or snacks from places which appear to be mostly deserted.

What Is Included in Our Egypt Tours from London?

Our Egypt tours from London include just about everything you could hope for. They include admission to all the sites which are listed in our tour itineraries. They also include the cost of any and all activities mentioned in our itineraries, such as Nile cruises, SCUBA diving, 4×4 safaris, desert trekking, and etc.

All hotel accommodation is included, along with clean and modern air-conditioned transport for tours and transfers. Our tour prices also include the cost of airfare for any domestic flights listed in our itineraries. Round the clock customer assistance is available throughout your tour, along with our meet, greet and assist service at airports, railway stations, and ports. Last but not least, our Egypt tours from London include all service charges, taxes and etc.

What Is Included in Our Tours to Egypt from London?

While we strive to make our Egypt tours from London as close to “all-inclusive” as possible, there are certain things which are not included for one reason or another. None of our Egypt tours from London include the cost of international air travel unless clients specifically request that we include international air travel.

Our tours also do not include the cost of any meals which are not mentioned in our itineraries. Unless stated otherwise, our tours do not include the cost of entry visas for Egypt and/or any other country featured in our itineraries. Admission fees for certain attractions at some venues are also not included in the cost of our Egypt tours from London.

For example, if your chosen tour includes a visit to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, museum admission will be included, but a ticket for the museum’s Mummies Room is typically not included. Another example would be “Special Tombs” at the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Our tours include admission to three different at this site, but they do not include admission to certain tombs, such as the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Tourists who want to enter his tomb are required to purchase a ticket in person at the site.

Absolutely loved this tour! Big shout out to Sohaila & Anas who were both fantastic tour guides. There were a couple of things along the way that could have gone a little better, but they were insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The sites included in the tour are all breath taking and somehow get better and better. I'd highly recommend doing all of the extras, particularly Abu Simbel and the Luxor hot air balloon. Accom was also much better than I had expected and sleeper train wasn't too bad either, surprisingly.

Nile Jewel - 5* Cruise

Me and my wife enjoyed our Trip in Egypt with Timeless Tours. It was one of the best trips we have taken. Egypt is a beautiful county with a great history and monuments and wonderful people. A must visit for everyone. Timeless Trip Staff did an excellent job and our fellow trip companions were superb. We all have developed a great bond and lifelong friendship (21 of us from around the globe). Hany from Timeless Tours was my go-person before the trip. He was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Our pick-up at Cairo International Airport was smooth. Our Tour Guide Remon is a great guy- professional, knowledgeable, friendly and did everything we asked for even going beyond than duty at times. Other Timeless Tours staff members – drivers, security guards, pickup staff, etc. were all friendly and professional. Hotel Rooms were good. The Nile Jewel Cruise room was excellent. This is an extremely fast paced tour, but you get to see most of Egypt in 9 days. We also did most of the optional tour – including Trip to Abu Simbel, Air Ballon Ride in Luxor, Submarine Ride in Hurghada and a day trip to Alexandria. All was worth it. Here are my recommendations to all the fellow travelers. • Add a couple of days before or after your trip to explore Cairo. It is a wonderful vibrant City. • Do not exchange Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling to Egyptian Pounds. Take small bills. Vendors prefer to take foreign currencies and they get a higher exchange rate in the black market. • Think twice before you buy anything in the Perfume factory, or the Alabaster Factory included in the tour. Their rates were much less competitive than other places. Some of these places can be Tourist Traps. • Young woman especially who are travelling alone should be cautious and stay away from some of the gallant staff in the Nile Jewel River Cruise. • Alcohol available in Egypt is expensive and not good. So, take a bottle or two of our favorite drink (as allowed by customs and by airlines) from home. Overall, A Great Trip. Bang for the Bucks!

9 Days Nile Jewel (Cairo, Cruise, Hurghada) Superior hotels

Essential Egypt (5 Star Hotels)

I loved my trip and will do it again

Pharaohs Nile Cruise Adventure - Return Flights Included

Wonderful guide, very knowledgeable!

Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise

The overall experience was amazing! Apart from learning a lot from Egyptian history, I also managed to learn about Egyptian culture thanks to the excellent tour guide we had, Nabil Shohdy, who was also one of the highlights of the entire tour. He always answered any questions I might have, and he was willing to help and provide recommendations on practical stuff (ATMs, drinking water, mobile data, etc.). 100% recommended! I look forward to traveling back again!

Felucca Odyssey (5 & 4 Star Hotels)

The tour was 10/10 and Mo was unreal, super informative and made so many accomodations for everyone on the tour.

Goddess Hathor - 8 Days (5 stars)

Very good tour. Full on, but very good. Anas our guide went out of his way to make sure we were all happy, and even showed us some local spots to eat at when we had enough of the food on the boat.

Egypt: Boats & Bazaars

Saad was the best tour guid I’ve ever had! His enthusiasm, passion and love for his job and his country was very obvious. He went above and beyond the duties of a tour leader and went at midnight with me to the airport to help me get my late baggage. I cannot day enough great things about him!

10-Day Ancient Egypt Tour (Superior Hotels)

What an awesome tour! We visited amazing places, everything was well-organized, and our guide, Ibrahim, was top-notch. It went beyond what we expected.

Egypt Nile Jewel

I loved the tour. Our group got along wonderfully. Ramon was interesting guide and very knowledegable. My only suggestion is transparency with a lot more firmer details on schedules, pricing and options. Our option to the lighted pyramids was not made available to us. The trip to Abu Simbel, although was incredible; the time we had to get up to make that journey for the time it took to get there versus the time we spent there would have been better off doing something else or passing on it.

Egypt Adventure

Great taster of ancient egypt

Footsteps Of The Pharaohs - Included Internal Flights

This was our first time in Egypt. Due to the known reasons, many people cancelled their trips to Egypt. But we found Egypt is very safe (much safer than New York City). Police and armed guards are everywhere to ensure the safety of the tourists. There was not a single encounter with risk during the entire trip from Alexandria all the way to Abu Simbel. We truly enjoyed the civilization of ancient Egypt, thanks to the tour guides Abdu (Cairo), Saladino (river cruise), and Ahmed (Alexandria). They are well-educated experts involved in archeological discoveries in the country. We were treated so well by everyone during the entire tour. The river cruise allowed us to see how people live along the river. The highlight of the cruise was the Captains Party in the bar. Food was good, especially the Egyptian dinner. There was a large fleet of cruise ships (more than 20) moving together. My only problem was the diesel gas smell on board of the ship (M.S. La Sarah). We were a small group with 6 tourists and one guide so we could discuss the history with the guide anytime we wanted to. The tourist sites were not crowded in this peak season, which gave us plenty of opportunities to take photos and observe the beauty of Egypt. Saladino is a great person, who led us to ride on local minibus to a local seafood restaurant deep in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the fish from Lake Nasir and big shrimps from the Red Sea with the locals. We knew we have to face the venders who were aggressive, but it didn't bother us because all they want was to make some money. They are harmless. Tolip Golden Plaza Hotel in Cairo has big rooms with adequate facility. There are some restaurants nearby with descent food, except Katalia, which needs to be avoided. Overall, I rated the tour with 5-stars. One note: if you see school children approaching you for photos, go ahead let them take photos with you. These lovely kids just want to have photos with foreigners.

• €110 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Cairo-Luxor-Aswan-Abu Simbel 9 Days with tour guided - domestic Flight

Covered a lot of sites with good transportation arranged. The local tour company Egypt Direct was very responsive. We enjoyed the entire trip.

What people love about Egypt Tours

Really enjoyed being in a small group instead of a traditional large group and our guide was great. This was a fast, hit-the-high points type of tour which is what we wanted; but, didn't really get to spend too much time at any one place. Didn't care for the hotel we were based out of - the rooms didn't have opaque walls between the bedroom and bathroom, just glass that was partly translucent; and, the hotel was a long ways away from everything.

Queen Cleopatras is a great tour, highly recommended, Anas is a great guide, he explained everything about Egyptian culture and toke care about our group! I will recommend to head office to deliver schedules with the tours to be able to plan our days. Cruse was amazing, service is great and everyone is very friendly! Also there is laundry available at your room! Ruby II is a great option, the room is very nice! I won’t recommend to take the train from Cairo to Aswan, service is great but services are not good (very old and dirty), washrooms very dirty!

Mina was an incredible tour guide - so friendly and knowledgeable. He is such a kind hearted man who made our trip so special.

Experience Date: 20 April, 2024

My fiancé and I booked a private 5 day tour of Egypt with ETP starting in Cairo followed Read More by Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor. We just got home and continue to talk about how amazing the trip was. The communication with ETP was excellent. Very fast responses and they are very accommodating. Our tour was nonstop which was okay by us as we wanted to see all the sights in 4 days. Read Less

Tour Name: Experience Egypt Cultural Sightseeing in 10 Days

This was the trip of a lifetime that I was able to have with my eldest son - an absolutely Read More amazing experience. To be able to actually see the places and artifacts that I had read about and studied was truly phenomenal. Our hotels were great, the travel to and from sites was completely taken care of, we never felt unsafe or left to our own devices, and the itinerary was just right. But what made the experience so fab was our two guides - Mahmoud Nour in Luxor/Aswan/Abu Simbel and "Max" in Cairo/Memphis/Saqqara. They taught us history and context as it related to each site we visited and they indulged my myriad questions. They were both so incredibly knowledgeable and my questions were never ignored or unanswered. In addition, they shared their culture with us and treated us to some awesome dining experiences. We were reminded that Egypt is more than just ancient ruins. I would recommend without reservation this tour experience. And "hats off" to Mahmoud and Max!!! I left feeling like I had made some great new friends. And I can't wait to try some home-made kushari. Read Less

Tour Name: Experience Egypt in 9 Days

Egypt Tours Portal is an excellent company to use to arrange your visit to Egypt. They wor Read More k with phenomenal guides (we had Mahmoud Nour in Upper Egypt and Mohsen aka Max in Lower Egypt...I would recommend asking for these guides by name, as they were truly superb), make all the necessary arrangements in terms of drivers, covid testing, hotels, and in-country flights, and can tailor your tour to whatever it is you most want to see. The entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Both Mahmoud and Max spoke excellent English, were extremely knowledgeable, and went out of their way to ensure our experience was everything we hoped it would be. This was the second time I have used ETP, and I will continue to recommend them to anyone who expresses any interest in exploring Egypt. We especially liked that our tour group was limited to only our party, which meant we got one-on-one attention at all the sites, and allowed us to get answers to all our questions. And for those of you who are worried about safety or health in Egypt, in our experience it was extremely safe, and we never had any issues related to COVID-19. Cannot recommend Egypt Tours Portal enough. Choose them, you won't regret it. Read Less

Egypt Tours from UK = Memories of a Lifetime

Whether you choose one of the many Egypt tour packages we offer, or whether you decide to take advantage of our incredibly popular customized Egypt tours from UK, you can rest assured that it will be a holiday you’ll never forget. When you only have a limited amount of time to explore a country, you want to make the most of that time by visiting all the best attractions. This can be quite a challenge when you visit Egypt simply because the country is home to such a vast number of Egypt tourist attractions .

Our tours have been meticulously planned so that our customers get to experience as much of this ancient land as they can during their stay. We also believe that variety is the spice of life, and for this reason, package deals like our Nile cruise holidays  include so much more than just a cruise along the Nile River. Our Egypt desert adventure packages are no different either. Regardless of what package tour you choose, you will still get to see all the most famous attractions, and you’ll do it in style.

Our SCUBA diving holidays are also immensely popular, and it’s hardly surprising considering that they all include a Nile River cruise and visits to all the most infamous attractions.

All our Egypt tours from UK start in Cairo, and most include at least a two or three day stay in the city, during which time you’ll get taken to see attractions such as the Great Pyramids of Giza; the Sphinx and so much more. If you book one of the cruise packages, then you’ll fly to Luxor or travel there on an overnight sleeper train after your stay in Cairo, since this is where most cruises start.

Passport and Visa Requirements for UK Citizens

If you book Egypt tours from the UK and you are going to be traveling on a British passport, you can now apply online for an Egyptian e-Visa prior to traveling to Egypt . If you would like to apply for an e-Visa you will need to sign up for an account on the official Egypt e-Visa portal which you can find here .

British passport holders can also get a visa on arrival at any international airport when they arrive in Egypt, or they can apply for visas at any Egyptian Embassy or Egyptian Consulate in the United. The costs of the various Egyptian visas are as follows:

• Single entry e-Visa – A single entry e-Visa costs £25.00 and it allows you to remain in the country for up to 60 days.
• Multiple entry e-Visa – A multiple entry e-Visa costs £60.00 and allows you to remain in the country for up to 90 days.
• Visa-on-arrival – A visa-on-arrival costs £25.00 and allows you to remain in the country for up to 30 days.
• Single or multiple entry visa at an embassy or consulate – If you apply for your visa at an embassy or consular office prior to traveling to Egypt, it costs £20.00 for a single entry tourist visa and £32.00 for a multiple entry tourist visa, and allows you to remain in the country for up to 60 or 90 days depending on which visa you applied for.
• Single entry business visa – £65.00
• Multiple entry business visa – £105.00

As is the case with many countries, you will be refused entry if your passport is valid for less than six months as from the last day of your stay.

NOTE: People traveling on a British passport can visit and stay at Sinai resorts for a period of up to 15 days without the need for a visa. If you only intend staying in one or more Sinai resorts, you can obtain a free Entry Permission stamp at Sharm el Sheikh, Saint Catherine and Taba airports. However, if you want to leave the area or stay for more than 15 days, you will have to go to one of these airports to obtain a visa.

When is the Best Time for Visiting Egypt?

Because we offer so many different packages , it’s possible for you to visit Egypt any time of the year. However, the summer months are typically very hot, and many visitors, although not all, find the extreme heat uncomfortable.

If most of your trip to Egypt is going to be spent in Cairo or at the Red Sea Coast, then the weather shouldn’t be much of a problem regardless of when you visit. However, since most of our Egypt tours from UK include a ton of sightseeing, we recommend booking your holiday in the cooler months, from October to April .

Staying Safe While Traveling in Egypt

Egypt is not only a spectacular destination, but also a very safe destination. Nonetheless, there is always a certain amount of risk, regardless of where about in the world you go. A few general safety precautions can spell the difference between a great holiday and a disastrous one. We personally recommend the following to make sure you stay safe while touring Egypt:

• Keep valuables in the safes which are generally available in all major hotels
• Avoid large gatherings and avoid walking around in quite unfamiliar places after dark
• Always follow any and all safety advice offered by tour guides and/or our company representatives
• Avoid confrontation
• Avoid getting into discussions about politics and/or religion
• Follow the instructions given by your tour guide

Hence, you should be able to enjoy all the Egyptian cities and sites.

Due to the current security situation in Egypt, it is currently safe to travel. This is going to be a real pleasure! With an increase in immunization rates, Covid patients decline. At night, travelers from the UK and other destinations must avoid chatting with strangers or traveling alone on dark, empty roads and paths. No matter where you are in the World, even in Egypt, use your intuition while interacting with others.

Things you need to take to Egypt

It is essential to pack long, baggy skirts and/or pants for Egypt. A bathing suit, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses are all important to use on your tours and on the beach. Comfortable and supportive walking shoes for a delightful and comfy tour. Women should bring a scarf or shawl to cover their hair when viewing mosques when touring outside in summer.

A total of 5,570,554 vaccine doses have been provided to students, teachers, the elderly, and individuals with chronic diseases as of 1 August 2021 and results have been seen in the daily number of covid patients.

Yellow fever and traveling Egypt

Before entering Egypt, you must get a shot against Yellow Fever. By virtue of this important clause, visitors and residents are safe from harm. As soon as you arrive in Egypt, they might ask you to present confirmation of Yellow Fever and Covid-19 vaccine.

Visitors from UK or any other destination who test positive for coronavirus will face quarantine. This runs by the Egyptian government, maybe in private or Government hospitals. On the other hand, family members' access could be unadvisable. State-run facilities in Egypt may not meet UK requirements.

Traveling to the Red Sea Egypt from UK

The Red Sea, Egypt is indeed a safe place to consider visiting in your vacation. For example, for Egypt to retain its reputation as one of the most frequented locations in the Middle East and North Africa, the Egyptian government is notoriously protective of visitors. There are several checkpoints, pool guards, and each resort has extremely strong security measures in place to keep tourists safe.
