Is Egypt safe to travel to?
Egypt is generally safe for tourists to travel in, especially if you stick to the well-known tourist areas and organized excursions. As with many destinations, it’s important to stay alert, keep an eye on your belongings, and check the latest travel advisories before you leave.
What is the best time to visit Egypt?
The best time to visit Egypt is generally from October through April. The temperatures are pleasant during this time for visiting attractions such as Luxor and for taking excursions. You can also travel to Egypt in the summer, but be prepared for high temperatures, especially inland. For a beach vacation on the Red Sea, you can actually go any time of year.
What should I wear as a tourist in Egypt?
In tourist beach resorts like Hurghada, you can dress quite casually, but outside the resort, it’s a good idea to be mindful of local culture and traditions. When visiting cities, markets, and religious sites, it’s best to wear modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing is comfortable in the heat and shows respect for local customs. In a mosque, women are often expected to cover their hair as well.
What are some fun day trips from Hurghada?
From Hurghada, head out on a day trip to Luxor to discover ancient temples and Egyptian history, or escape to the turquoise waters and sandy beaches of the Giftun Islands. Read our travel tips for Luxor and get inspired for a boat trip to the Giftun Islands.
