Egypt is home to an array of delectable cuisines. We particularly recommend trying “Ful & Ta’meya” (fava beans and falafel), Mulukhiya, the traditional pasta dish “Koshary,” and the classic meat dishes Kebab & Kofta.
The best time to visit Egypt is during the winter months, from September to April, when the weather becomes pleasantly tropical with a warm atmosphere and a refreshing winter breeze.

Wear what feels right and comfortable. It’s best to choose light clothing and comfortable footwear, like closed-toe shoes, to handle Egypt’s terrain. During the summer, be sure to apply sunblock to protect yourself from the sun.
One of the top activities to enjoy is embarking on a Nile Cruise between Luxor and Aswan, or vice versa. Experience the breathtaking beauty of Egypt from a hot air balloon or plane, and indulge in the variety of delicious Egyptian cuisines and beverages. Don’t miss out on shopping in the historic streets of old Cairo. Dive into the allure of the Red Sea at enchanting resort cities like Hurghada, where diving and snorkeling adventures reveal the vibrant marine life. Additionally, a safari trip through the mesmerizing western desert under the serene Egyptian skies is an unforgettable experience.
Egypt has numerous public holidays, both religious and national, that are too many to count. Among the most significant festivals are the holy month of Ramadan, which concludes with Eid Al-Fitr, as well as Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Read more about festivals and public holidays in Egypt.
Egypt is known for being one of the more liberal Islamic countries, but it has become somewhat conservative in recent decades. Therefore, it’s advisable to avoid showing your chest, shoulders, or legs below the knees.
Arabic is the official language of Egypt. Most city-dwelling Egyptians speak or understand English to some degree. A smaller number can speak French, Italian, Spanish, and German. Professional tour guides in the tourism sector are well-prepared to assist non-Arabic-speaking visitors, and they can communicate in English and other languages to meet the needs of all our clients.
The quickest way to get around is by car, preferably a taxi. In Cairo, taking a white taxi will help you move faster, or you can opt for the metro, Egypt’s fastest mode of transportation, especially during rush hour.
The temperature in Egypt varies from 37°C to 14°C. Summers in Egypt can be quite hot, but it occasionally gets cold at night, while winters are generally cool and mild.
