Egypt is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is from October to April, when the weather is cooler and more pleasant.

Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at the airport, or online before arrival. The visa fee is $25 USD and it is valid for 30 days. You will need a passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of entry.

The currency of Egypt is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). You can exchange your money at the airport, banks, or hotels. You can also use ATMs and credit cards in major cities. Tipping is expected and appreciated in Egypt. You should tip your guide, driver, hotel staff, and restaurant staff according to the quality of service.
