These optional extras can be paid in USD or local currency (EGP). Booking ahead is strongly recommended, particularly through the busy season.
Our packages are comprehensive, but it is wise to budget a little extra for:
Keeping a small amount of local currency (EGP) on hand is genuinely useful, especially for tipping and picking things up in local markets.
Tipping — known locally as “baksheesh” — is the customary way to acknowledge good service in Egypt. It is never compulsory, but it is warmly appreciated:
Gratuities are not included in the tour price, so it pays to keep small USD or EGP notes handy for the occasion.
Egypt is at its most inviting through the cooler winter months, roughly November to February, when the light is golden and temperatures are perfect for lingering at the pyramids, temples and open-air sites. High summer — June to August — is best avoided if you can help it, with the mercury regularly pushing past 40°C (104°F) across much of the country.
To enter Egypt, most travellers will need the following in order:
Passport: Valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
Visa: Depending on your nationality, this may need to be arranged in advance or issued on arrival; many passport holders also qualify for an e-visa.
Travel Insurance: Strongly recommended, covering medical emergencies and any unforeseen disruption.
Vaccinations: None are formally required for entry, but a quick check-in with your doctor for any suggested jabs is always a smart move.
Egypt is, on the whole, a safe and welcoming destination for visitors. The tourism sector is closely supported, with dedicated protection around the main archaeological sites and major cities. As with any international trip, it pays to skim your government’s current travel advisory before departure and keep a light eye on local news while you are on the ground.
Decide Your Travel Dates and Budget
Pin down when you would like to travel and roughly what you are ready to spend. That alone will start to shape your choice of flights, hotels and tours.
Choose Your Itinerary and Destinations
Egypt is packed with headline places — Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, Aswan, the Nile Cruise, Alexandria and the Red Sea resorts. Draw up a shortlist of what you want to see and how many nights you can give each stop.
Find a Reliable Tour Operator or Travel Agency
You might book through a local Egyptian operator, an international agency or an online platform that specialises in Egypt. Reviews and independent ratings are your best friend here — read them carefully before you commit.
Select a Tour Package or Customize Your Trip
Ready-made packages usually bundle flights, hotels, transport and guided sightseeing into one price. If you prefer, most operators will happily tailor an itinerary around your particular interests and budget.
Make a Reservation
Once your itinerary is settled, get in touch with the operator to confirm availability, share your traveller details and pay either the deposit or the full amount according to their policy.
Prepare Your Travel Documents
Double-check that your passport is in date, sort out an Egyptian visa if you need one, and keep printed copies of your itinerary, hotel vouchers and tour confirmations to hand.
Pack and Get Ready
Pack for the season and the sights on your list. Comfortable walking shoes, high-factor sunscreen and a travel adapter really do belong at the top of the pile.
Enjoy Your Trip!
On arrival, follow the itinerary at your own pace, stay in easy contact with your guide, and let Egypt’s history and culture do the rest.
Tipping — the local “baksheesh” — is woven into daily life in Egypt and is not built into the tour price. It is customary to look after guides, drivers and hotel staff with a small gratuity, matched to the standard of service you received. As a rough guide, around 10-15% of the bill or service cost is a fair benchmark.
