FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What to See In Egypt?

When people think about Egypt tourist attractions, monuments such as the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Abu Simbel rock temples are often the first things that come to mind. In reality, however, there are so many other amazing attractions as well, some manmade and some created by Mother Nature. Places like the White Desert are enough to leave any traveler speechless. Nowhere else on earth will you find a comparable desert landscape.

Nile River cruises are also one of Egypt’s main tourist attractions. There is nothing quite like sailing along the Nile, moving from one ancient site to the next. Many tourists are aware of the Giza pyramids and perhaps the Step Pyramid of Djozer, but there are also others located in an ancient necropolis about 40 kilometers from Cairo. These are collectively called the Dashur Pyramids, all of which are far older than those at Giza.

What to Pack for Egypt?

If you are looking for  some advice about what to pack for Egypt, our recommendation would be that you should try to avoid packing any stuff which you most likely not need or use. For example, there is no need for you to pack in a lot of warm clothing. One pair of long pants and perhaps a lightweight jacket that you can wear in the evenings should be adequate. If you happen to book one of our Egypt – Jordan tours or any tour that includes overnighting in the desert, then a somewhat thicker jacket would be recommended.

Other essential items would include things like sunscreen lotion; a wide-brimmed hat; a pair of sunglasses; some lightweight cotton tops, and a comfortable pair of shoes. Don’t forget to also pack in some swim suitable swimwear.

Is It Safe To Visit Egypt?
