Egypt
WHEN TO TRAVEL?
The most popular time to visit Egypt is from October to May. Nights will be cool and most days warm and sunny, although in December and January daytime temperatures can be cool. In the summer months temperatures can reach over 40 degrees Celsius but planning your day effectively can mean avoiding crowds and enjoying a less crowded visit to some of the most popular sites in the world. Temperatures in the desert can vary between day and night, being very hot during the day but much cooler once the sun goes down.
With 5000 years of history, deserts, mountains and the Red Sea, Egypt has a lot to offer. Discover pharaohs' tombs and the temples of the Nile Valley, be seduced by the lure of the desert or marvel at the Red Sea’s fabulous coral reefs.

“Whether by cruise ship, dahabiya or felucca, by far the best way to enjoy the Nile is whilst sailing along it, just admiring the views.” |
“The great Pyramids are amazing. Hearing the stories behind the hieroglyphics brought Egypt and its cultures vividly to life.” |
“Jump in a 4x4 and head out to the White Desert to experience the natural monoliths and spectacular desert sunsets." |
