Peak Season: As the heat of the summer can be unbearable, the peak season for travel to Egypt is between October and May. This time is especially appealing to many European travellers as they can jump on a short flight to Egypt and escape the winter months of their own country. Hotels will often be fully booked and prices rise during this time of year. Off Season: The least popular time to visit is during the hottest months – for good reason. However, if you plan on travelling during this time, some real bargains can be found. Avoid the southern parts, however, and stick to the coast, where breezes from the sea keep the thermometer lower. The other advantage of visiting during this time is the increased peace and quiet to be found at major tourist sites. The month of Ramadan is often less popular with Western visitors. Many restaurants will close down for the month and alcohol is much less widely available. The up-side is that this can be another perfect time to see more of the country and its people, and less of your fellow tourists. Shoulder Season: Spring time, between March and April, is one of the best times to visit. The weather is still very warm, but has not yet reached summertime peaks, and the tourists are dwindling off from peak season. The Khamsin wind blows in from the desert between this time, however. It is a spectacularly powerful wind that can reach 150kmph. It normally blows for a few days only, so you can either try to avoid it, or simply bunker down and enjoy the spectacle…

Egypt offers different means of transport for residents and visitors. Options available include car hire, taxis, buses, air-conditioned trains, wagons, and non-air-conditioned trains. Air-conditioned trains offer two classes, first and second class, which are suitable for travelling between cities like Cairo to Mersa Matrouh. First-class is the most comfortable option, as it comes with waiter service, no standing, and you sit on reclining chairs. The second option you have is sleeper wagons, which offer a comfortable two-bed cabin that you can use for trips from Cairo to Luxor. Third, you can use a bus to get around. Major routes in Cairo have air-conditioned buses, but you’ll also find non-air-conditioned buses on local routes, which are cheaper. Service taxis operate through various routes and are quicker than buses and trains. Taxi fares are fixed, and you can ascertain the amount by enquiring at your hotel or seeing what Egyptians pay. While travelling by car may offer you privacy and control, it’s not for the faint-hearted. The highways and back roads pose a challenge because of carts and pedestrians. Car hire is most suitable for visiting remote sites and travelling around Cairo, Mersa Matrouh, Aswan, Alexandria, and other major cities.

Egypt offers historical significance, as it dates to the pharaohs. Visitors explore millennia-old monuments that sit along the Nile River Valley, including the colossal pyramids of Giza.

These recognisable landmarks were built as tombs for Pharaohs. In the Egyptian Museum, visitors can explore the Pharaonic world. The museum exhibits royal mummies and pieces of ancient art.
