From the iconic pyramids of Giza to the majestic Nile River that has sustained civilizations for millennia, Egypt offers a journey through time like no other.

Explore the bustling streets of Cairo, where ancient and modern blend seamlessly, or cruise down the Nile and uncover the treasures of Luxor and Aswan. Delve into the enigmatic world of hieroglyphs, temples, and tombs, and be enchanted by the vibrant bazaars and warm hospitality. Embark on a timeless adventure in Egypt, where the past and present converge in a tapestry of fascination and intrigue.

• Discover Egypt.

A truly legendary destination, Egypt conjures images of pharaohs and kings, sphinxes and pyramids. The nation is a vast, arid desert at the top of Northern Africa, populated mostly around the life-giving Nile River that bisects it.

You’ll feel Egypt’s history in the labyrinthine street markets of Cairo and the towering minarets of its mosques. You’ll see it in Luxor’s temples and Alexandria’s waterfront fortresses. It’s further exemplified in Abu Simbel, the site of two great temples built 3,000 years ago as monuments to Pharaoh Ramses II. And of course, you see it in Giza, where ancient Egyptians built their famed pyramidal tombs to inter their monarchs for eternity.

• When is the best time to visit?

The best time to visit Egypt largely depends on the type of experience you’re seeking:

• Winter (November to February): This is the peak tourist season when the weather is relatively mild and comfortable for exploration. It’s ideal for visiting ancient sites, cruising the Nile, and enjoying outdoor activities.
• Spring (March to April) and Autumn (September to October): These shoulder seasons offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and the added beauty of blooming flowers in spring and colorful landscapes in autumn.
• Summer (June to August): If you’re interested in beach resorts along the Red Sea, summer is a popular time. However, be prepared for hotter temperatures, especially in the southern regions.

Ultimately, the best time to visit Egypt depends on your preferences. Whether you want to explore historical treasures, bask in the sun on the Red Sea coast, or immerse yourself in local culture, Egypt offers a diverse range of experiences year-round.
