The answer depends on what you want to see and do. For warm weather and fewer crowds, plan your trip between October and April. If you're looking for cooler temperatures and amazing sunsets, then visit during the summer months. No matter when you go, Egypt is sure to be an unforgettable experience!
Along with a tour guide, your time in Egypt will be spent exploring the best attractions. We have numerous day tours which you can book exclusively as well.
One of the main highlights of many of our Egypt tours is spending a night on the tranquil waters of the Nile River aboard a traditional felucca sailboat. It gives you a perfect opportunity to relax in-between time busy sightseeing, while you get to know your fellow travel mates better and see how the locals live along its river banks.
Most of our Egypt tours that feature a felucca cruise spend one night on board. We generally set sail from Aswan at lunchtime and spend the afternoon sailing, stopping a few times as we sail down the river, before mooring up for the night.
You then leave the boat after breakfast to continue north by road to Luxor. Some tours extend the time on board with another day and night sailing further north.

Ancient Egypt has mystified and entranced generation after generation. The Egyptians' mastery of architecture, their complex religious ideologies, and their peculiar views on death have given modern-day readers much to ponder. Few, if any, of their remaining relics have produced the awe and spectacular wonder of the Great Pyramids of Giza. These three architectural masterpieces have stood for more than 5,000 years despite looting, exploitation, and the slow erosion of time.

Officially known as the Arab Republic of Egypt, this transcontinental country covers the northeast corner of Africa and the southwest corner of Asia. It is a Mediterranean country boarded by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba to the east, the Red Sea to the east and south, Libya to the west and Sudan to the south.
Egypt has a heritage dating back to the 6-4th millennia BCE, one of the longest histories in the world. It is also considered a cradle of civilisation and it was in Ancient Egypt that writing, organised religion and urbanisation began to develop.
The country is filled with iconic landmarks including the Giza Necropolis and the Sphinx, the ruins of Memphis and the Valley of the Kings. The culture of Egypt was influenced by a variety of foreign countries and Egypt was an early and vital centre of Christianity. During the 7th century, Egypt was Islamised and today Islam is the official religion and Arabic is the official language.
Egypt is the most populous country in North Africa and the Arab world, as it has over 95 million inhabitants. It is the third-most populous country in Africa and the 15th-most populous in the world. Most of its people reside near the Nile River, where the most fertile land is.
The economy of Egypt is the largest and most diversified in the Middle East. In 2016, Egypt overtook South Africa and became the second largest economy in Africa, after Nigeria.
