Tour Name: 5 Days Tour of Group Witnessing Egypt’s Jewels

Experience Date: 18 July, 2024

My fiancé and I booked a private 5 day tour of Egypt with ETP starting in Cairo followed Read More by Aswan, Abu Simbel and Luxor. We just got home and continue to talk about how amazing the trip was. The communication with ETP was excellent. Very fast responses and they are very accommodating. Our tour was nonstop which was okay by us as we wanted to see all the sights in 4 days. Read Less

Tour Name: Experience Egypt Cultural Sightseeing in 10 Days

This was the trip of a lifetime that I was able to have with my eldest son - an absolutely Read More amazing experience. To be able to actually see the places and artifacts that I had read about and studied was truly phenomenal. Our hotels were great, the travel to and from sites was completely taken care of, we never felt unsafe or left to our own devices, and the itinerary was just right. But what made the experience so fab was our two guides - Mahmoud Nour in Luxor/Aswan/Abu Simbel and "Max" in Cairo/Memphis/Saqqara. They taught us history and context as it related to each site we visited and they indulged my myriad questions. They were both so incredibly knowledgeable and my questions were never ignored or unanswered. In addition, they shared their culture with us and treated us to some awesome dining experiences. We were reminded that Egypt is more than just ancient ruins. I would recommend without reservation this tour experience. And "hats off" to Mahmoud and Max!!! I left feeling like I had made some great new friends. And I can't wait to try some home-made kushari. Read Less

Tour Name: Experience Egypt in 9 Days

Egypt Tours Portal is an excellent company to use to arrange your visit to Egypt. They wor Read More k with phenomenal guides (we had Mahmoud Nour in Upper Egypt and Mohsen aka Max in Lower Egypt...I would recommend asking for these guides by name, as they were truly superb), make all the necessary arrangements in terms of drivers, covid testing, hotels, and in-country flights, and can tailor your tour to whatever it is you most want to see. The entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Both Mahmoud and Max spoke excellent English, were extremely knowledgeable, and went out of their way to ensure our experience was everything we hoped it would be. This was the second time I have used ETP, and I will continue to recommend them to anyone who expresses any interest in exploring Egypt. We especially liked that our tour group was limited to only our party, which meant we got one-on-one attention at all the sites, and allowed us to get answers to all our questions. And for those of you who are worried about safety or health in Egypt, in our experience it was extremely safe, and we never had any issues related to COVID-19. Cannot recommend Egypt Tours Portal enough. Choose them, you won't regret it. Read Less

Best Times to Visit Egypt

Egypt has only two seasons — a warm winter from October to April and a hot summer from May to September.

The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April when you can enjoy mild and pleasant temperatures ranging from 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F) in the daytime, making it ideal for exploring sightseeing spots, such as the pyramids, and engaging in outdoor sports, such as camel riding. Christmas and New Year is the peak tourist time in Egypt, and hotels and cruises are easily booked up, so we suggest planning a festive-season trip and making reservations 3-6 months in advance.

J une to August is the hottest time in Egypt, with temperatures exceeding 38°C (100°F). To avoid the scorching heat, we recommend visiting attractions either in the early morning or late afternoon.

May and September offer a more tolerable climate, with less intense heat, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Both months are an ideal time to visit Egypt if you want to avoid peak-season crowds.

Is It Safe to Travel to Egypt?

Egypt is a relatively safe country to travel to as long as you stay in the main tourism destinations, such as Cairo, Hurghada, Luxor, and Aswan.
