THE NILE VALLEY

The first thing to know is that there are really 2 major tourist areas in Egypt. The first is quite obvious: it is the Nile. At the edge of it, you will find all the classic sites of the country like Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. In my head, you haven't really been to Egypt Small Group Tours if you haven't seen this trio.

THE RED SEA COAST

The second major axis is that formed by the coast of the Red Sea. Hurghada is the best-known place in this region, but I would advise you to base yourself further south where it is much less developed. Here, you will not see any trace of Antiquity and the pharaohs. Instead, you'll find some of the most impressive coral reefs and marine life in the world, so enjoy Luxury Small Group Tours in Egypt with Plan Egypt Tours.

How long to enjoy Luxury Small Group Trips to Egypt

Egypt is a big country, and you could easily spend two months there without seeing all the wonders. I was also surprised to find that the majority of European tourists only stayed there for 10 to 15 days.

The good news is that in 10 days you'll have time to see the must-see trio of Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, with the added bonus of a day trip to Abu Simbel. But expect the pace to be quite brisk.

When to enjoy Luxury Small Group Trips to Egypt

It is hot in Egypt. Really hot. I was in the south at the end of October, and the mercury was above 36-37° every day. You would honestly have to be a bit crazy to visit this country in summer, where the mercury is often above 40°.

The optimal period is from October to February. Expect dry weather, with very little rainfall, except near the Mediterranean where it sometimes rains

The Red Sea is still very comfortable in mid-November, and the water there is incredibly crystal clear. If you are a fan of diving, avoid the months of April and May. The plankton bloom greatly reduces the visibility of the sea for a few weeks.

Is it dangerous to enjoy Luxury Small Group Trips in Egypt?

The short answer is no, but there are still some challenges to point out.

1- THE POLITICAL SITUATION

2- PICKPOCKETS

You have very little chance of being robbed in Egypt, much less than in some European cities. The majority of the inhabitants are very religious, and such a gesture would not make them very respectable Muslims. Nothing to fear about it, as long as you take the usual precautions.

How to dress when you enjoy Luxury Small Group Trips Egypt

I was pleasantly surprised by the religious tolerance of the people of the country. About 90% of the population is Muslim, but the majority practice fairly moderate Islam. The rest are mainly made up of Copts, a very old branch of Christianity.

In the big cities of Egypt, we are therefore used to living and letting live. The majority of women are veiled, but some of them do not wear it, especially in Cairo.

 Is it easy to travel alone in Egypt?

The good news is that it is quite easy to travel by yourself in Egypt. The country has a solid tourist infrastructure, surely one of the most advanced in Africa.
