A trip to Egypt is a wonderful chance to relax and pick up new experiences from a host of fascinating excursions. Rainfall in the country is rare and irregular, and temperatures never drop below freezing. In the cooler season, from October to April, temperatures sit between +12°C and +16°C. Summer arrives in May, when the air temperature can reach +50°C. This is peak time for unforgettable desert safaris, not to mention the Mediterranean beaches in the north of Egypt and the Red Sea beaches in the east.

Egypt's Landmarks
Egypt is a country of contrasts, with a wealth of extraordinary landmarks on offer for visitors. An excursion to the Monastery of St. Catherine and a hike up Mount Sinai, wrapped in legend, are a real treat. Everyone is captivated by the magnificent Sphinx and the famous Pyramids, and by Egypt's ancient cities of Cairo and Luxor. Luxor's historical complex is astonishing in its grandeur, especially:
- The city's temple complex;
- Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings;
- The Colossi of Memnon, statues of enormous scale.
Or head to Hurghada instead, where the highlights include:
- The historic sites of El Dahar, and souvenir markets to suit every taste;
- The lively Sakkala district, packed with shops and entertainment;
- A favourite spot with young travellers — Mojito Beach.

Visa for Egypt
Before you travel, it's worth getting familiar with a few things about the country. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality — many visitors can get a visa stamp on arrival at Egypt's resort airports, and if your trip is purely for tourism this doesn't usually need to be arranged in advance, but check the rules for your passport before you book. At the border you'll simply need to show your passport, a return ticket and your hotel booking.
Currency in Egypt
The Egyptian pound (EGP) is used within the country, but shops readily accept dollars and euros too. Cash machines work reliably at all the resorts.
Staying Safe in Egypt
When visiting Egypt, it's worth remembering that this is a Muslim country. To avoid awkward situations, it's best to:
- Dress more modestly once you're away from your hotel grounds, to avoid unwanted attention from local men;
- Be careful when buying local souvenirs, such as shisha pipes — check the quality carefully;
- Avoid drinks with ice, since the water used to make it comes straight from the tap.
