Everything you need to know before your trip to the land of Pharaohs.
Yes, Egypt is generally safe for tourists. The country welcomes millions of visitors annually. Major tourist cities like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Hurghada are heavily secured by Tourist Police. We always recommend booking with a reputable agency like Egypt Lover to ensure a hassle-free experience.
The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April, when temperatures are cooler and pleasant for sightseeing. The peak season is during Christmas and Easter. Summer (June to August) can be very hot, especially in the south (Luxor/Aswan), but it's perfect for Red Sea beach resorts.
Egypt is a conservative country. While there is no strict dress code for tourists in hotels or on cruise ships, it is respectful to dress modestly when walking in cities or visiting mosques (shoulders and knees covered). Beachwear is acceptable only at beach resorts.
Most nationalities require a visa. Citizens of the EU, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and many others can obtain a visa upon arrival at Egyptian airports for $25 USD (payable in cash). Alternatively, you can apply for an E-Visa online via the official government portal before traveling.
You can book directly through our website by selecting your package and filling out the inquiry form. Alternatively, contact us via WhatsApp or Email. A travel consultant will customize your itinerary and send you a secure payment link for the deposit.
We accept online payments via Credit Card (Visa/Mastercard) through a secure gateway. Deposits are typically 25-50% depending on the season. The remaining balance can be paid upon arrival in Egypt in cash (USD, Euro, GBP) or by card.
It is highly recommended to drink bottled water in Egypt. Tap water is chlorinated but may upset visitors' stomachs due to different mineral content. Bottled water is cheap and readily available everywhere.
There are no mandatory vaccinations for entering Egypt unless you are coming from a Yellow Fever infected zone. However, standard vaccinations like Hepatitis A and Tetanus are recommended. Consult your doctor before traveling.
Yes, tipping is a part of the culture. It is expected for good service from drivers, guides, hotel staff, and waiters. It is not mandatory but highly appreciated. Carrying small bills (Egyptian Pounds or $1 bills) is very helpful.
