Frequently asked questions about hostels in Egypt

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget travellers, exploring the historical sites of Giza, including the Pyramids and the Sphinx, is a must. Entrance fees are relatively low, and you can easily spend a whole day there. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, housing an incredible collection of ancient artefacts, also offers affordable entry. Wandering through the vibrant Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo is free and offers a fantastic cultural experience. Consider taking a felucca ride on the Nile – it's a quintessential Egyptian experience and relatively inexpensive, especially if you negotiate the price beforehand. Finally, exploring Islamic Cairo, with its mosques and madrasas, is free and offers a fascinating glimpse into a different side of Egyptian history.
  • What are the best hostels in Egypt?

    Among the hostels in Egypt, Dahab Hostel, Madina Hostel and Tahrir Square Hostel are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Egypt?

    Cairo International Airport (CAI) is the main hub, handling the vast majority of international flights. However, Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) and Hurghada International Airport (HRG) also receive significant numbers of tourists, particularly those heading to the Red Sea resorts.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Egypt?

    Venus Hotel Luxor 日本人 大歓迎, Kmt Hostel and Golden Rose Hotel are the best hostels with a pool in Egypt.

  • What currency do you need for Egypt?

    The Egyptian pound (EGP) is the official currency. It's advisable to exchange some currency upon arrival, but many places, particularly in tourist areas, accept credit cards. However, having some local currency on hand is always helpful for smaller purchases and in areas with limited card acceptance.
  • What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Egypt?

    The best hostels with a jacuzzi in Egypt are Freedom Hostel, Life Pyramids Inn and Great Pyramid Inn.

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Egypt?

    Navigating roads in Egypt can be challenging for visitors. Traffic can be heavy, especially in Cairo, and driving standards may differ from what you're used to. Public transport, such as buses and the metro in Cairo, are generally affordable and efficient options for getting around. Taxis are readily available, but it's crucial to agree on a fare beforehand. Ride-hailing apps are also becoming increasingly popular in major cities.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in Egypt?

    The best hostels for families and kids in Egypt are Dahab Hostel, Madina Hostel and Meramees Hostel.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in Egypt?

    Modest dress is appreciated, especially when visiting religious sites. Women may want to cover their shoulders and knees. It's polite to remove your shoes before entering mosques or some homes. Public displays of affection are generally discouraged. Asking permission before taking photographs of people is always courteous. Learning a few basic Arabic phrases is a thoughtful gesture.
  • What are the best pet friendly hostels in Egypt?

    The best pet friendly hostels in Egypt are Dahab Hostel, Meramees Hostel and Go Inn Backpackers.

  • Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Egypt?

    Sham el-Nessim, a spring festival celebrating nature's renewal, is a significant national holiday. Mawlid, celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, is another important religious festival. Many smaller, local festivals also take place throughout the year, often linked to specific regions or religious events. These smaller festivals are a great way to experience the diverse cultural richness of the country.
  • What are the best hostels with parking in Egypt?

    Dahab Hostel, Madina Hostel and Tahrir Square Hostel are the best hostels with parking in Egypt.

  • What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Egypt?

    For medical emergencies, dial 123. For police emergencies, dial 122. It's a good idea to have the contact details of your embassy or consulate readily available.
  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Egypt?

    A week allows for a more in-depth exploration. Consider a combination of Cairo (to visit the pyramids, museums, and historical sites), Luxor (for the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple), and Aswan (to experience the Nubian culture and perhaps a Nile cruise). This itinerary balances historical sites with cultural experiences.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Egypt?

    For a shorter trip, focus on a single area. Cairo is a great option, allowing you to see the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and explore the bustling city. Alternatively, a weekend in Sharm el-Sheikh or Hurghada offers a relaxing beach getaway with opportunities for water sports.
  • Are there specific regions in Egypt known for great weather?

    The Red Sea coast, including Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, enjoys warm, sunny weather year-round, making it ideal for beach holidays. Luxor and Aswan also have pleasant weather for much of the year, although it can get very hot in summer.
