Tips While Planning a trip to Egypt
Egypt is the best vacation spot as the food and accommodation are affordable. If you plan it well, it will be a bang for your buck. You will get single beds for $8-10 USD and doubles for approximately $12/20. Though accommodation and food are cheap while visiting a landmark, the baksheesh (tipping) is estimated, to be higher than the entry fee, which is the only concern that we have to tackle. Local food items will cost only a few dollars and if you prefer a bus, shared taxis or minibus for transportation, then you don’t have to worry about burning your pocket.
This country has got a varying climate, hence, the best time to visit Egypt is during the autumn or spring season. During these seasons, the warm places like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, etc. won’t be very scorching and the calmer places like Sinai won’t be freezing. Tourists usually prefer winter to visit Egypt as the climate is really comfortable and the hotel prices are cheaper.
Depending upon your interests and choices to explore Egypt, the number of days can vary. If you wish to explore entire Egypt, then you may need 2-4 weeks. But if you have to visit just the main attractions or your choice of places, then you can wind up your sightseeing within a week. For that, you should have a better understanding of Egypt. The city of Cairo is known for pyramids, camel ride, mosque and historical sites. This is one place that no traveler would like to miss out.Â

As you are aware, Egypt has a huge number of tourist attractions and for that reason, if you plan to go there all by yourself, it can be very tiring and hectic. In order to avoid a last-minute tension, the best choice for worry-free sightseeing in Egypt is to choose a tour operator.

Before confirming the booking, never forget to contact the tour operator through phone or in person to clarify your doubts and queries, if any.
