Egypt is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your preferences and activities. Generally, the winter months (October to April) are cooler and more comfortable for sightseeing, while the summer months (May to September) are hotter and more suitable for beach activities. However, the winter months are also more crowded and expensive, while the summer months are less busy and cheaper.

What are the visa requirements for Egypt?

Most visitors need a visa to enter Egypt, which can be obtained online, on arrival, or from an Egyptian embassy or consulate. The visa fee is $25 USD for a single-entry visa or $60 USD for a multiple-entry visa, valid for 90 days. You will need a passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of entry, and a blank page for the visa stamp. Some nationalities are exempt from the visa requirement or eligible for a free visa. For more information, please check the official website of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

What are the health and safety precautions for Egypt?

Egypt is generally a safe and friendly country, but you should exercise common sense and caution when traveling.

The currency of Egypt is the Egyptian pound (EGP), which is divided into 100 piastres. You can exchange your money at banks, hotels, or authorized exchange bureaus, or withdraw cash from ATMs. Credit cards are widely accepted in major cities and tourist areas, but you may need cash for smaller shops and rural areas. Tipping is customary and expected in Egypt, and it is known as baksheesh. You should tip your guide, driver, hotel staff, restaurant staff, and anyone who provides you a service. The amount of tip depends on the quality of service and your satisfaction, but a general rule is to tip 10% of the bill or more.

What are the packing essentials for Egypt?

You should pack light and comfortable clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, as well as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack a scarf or a shawl to cover your head when visiting mosques or religious sites. You should also pack a swimsuit, a towel, and flip-flops for the beach or the pool. You should also pack some warm clothing for the cooler nights and the air-conditioned places.
