Egypt Family Tours Highlights and Tips

Highlights

  • Valley of the Kings - a burial place for pharaohs from Ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom with 63 royal tombs.
  • The Nile River - the longest river in Africa and a lifeline to Egypt, creating fertile land to harvest.
  • Abu Simbel Temples - two enormous rock temples carved into the side of the cliff in the village of Abu Simbel.
  • Egyptian Museum - a vast edifice displaying 120,000 Egyptian antiquities and a Tutankhamen exhibit.
  • Cairo - the capital of Egypt with one of the largest metropolitan areas in Africa.

Tips

  • Remove your shoes before entering a mosque and cover your head and shoulders.
  • Prepare to haggle as bargaining is expected by vendors and is part of the local shopping experience.
  • Eat only with your right hand as the left hand is used for ablutions in the Egyptian culture.
  • During the festival of Ramadan, the fasting month, do not eat or drink in public.
  • Do not touch someone from the opposite sex when you are in a public place.
  • Learn a few Arabic words so you can speak to the locals when exploring the country.
  • Keep small change with you (LE5 and LE10 notes) to tip people and to buy small items.
  • Do not drink the tap water as it is highly chlorinated and can give you an upset stomach.
