Frequently asked questions about hotels in Egypt
What are the best landmarks to visit in Egypt?
Egypt boasts incredible landmarks. The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are must-sees, of course. Then there's the breathtaking Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple complexes in Luxor, ancient wonders showcasing impressive architecture and history. The Valley of the Kings, with its pharaonic tombs, is equally captivating, as is the Abu Simbel temple complex, relocated to save it from flooding. Don't forget the stunning Philae Temple on Agilkia Island.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Egypt?
A Nile cruise is a classic Egyptian experience, offering stunning views and access to historical sites along the river. Exploring the bustling Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo for souvenir shopping is also a must. Camel riding through the desert near the Pyramids provides a unique perspective. Visiting a traditional Egyptian village offers a glimpse into local life, and experiencing a sound and light show at a historical site like Karnak Temple is truly magical.
The best time to visit is during the cooler months, from October to April. The weather is generally pleasant, with warm days and cool nights. Summer (May to September) can be extremely hot, especially in Upper Egypt.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Egypt?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Egypt?
For a week, consider splitting your time. Spend a few days in Cairo, exploring areas like Zamalek (known for its upscale atmosphere and art scene) and Islamic Cairo (with its historic mosques and bustling souks). Then, head to Luxor for a few days to explore its ancient wonders and enjoy a Nile cruise. Alternatively, you could dedicate more time to exploring the Red Sea coast, perhaps staying in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.
Which parts of Egypt are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A weekend getaway could easily be spent in Cairo, focusing on the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and exploring Islamic Cairo. Alternatively, if you prefer a beach getaway, Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea offers a quick escape with beautiful beaches and diving opportunities.
Renting a car isn't generally recommended for independent travel outside of major cities. The driving conditions can be challenging, and navigating without a local guide can be difficult. Consider using taxis, ride-sharing services, or organised tours for transportation.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Egypt?
Credit card acceptance varies. Larger hotels, restaurants, and shops in tourist areas usually accept major credit cards, but it's advisable to carry Egyptian pounds for smaller establishments and local markets. Cash is still king in many places.
What are the largest airports in Egypt?
Cairo International Airport (CAI) is the largest and busiest airport, serving as the main gateway to the country. Other significant airports include Hurghada International Airport (HRG) and Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH), primarily serving the Red Sea resorts.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Egypt?
Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Avoid public displays of affection. Always ask permission before taking someone's photograph. Bargaining is expected in markets, but do so politely. Learn a few basic Arabic phrases – it's appreciated.
What local specialties should you try in Egypt?
You must try Koshari, a national dish of rice, lentils, chickpeas, and pasta, topped with a spicy tomato sauce and garlic vinegar. Ful medames (fava beans) is another popular breakfast staple. Try also Molokhia, a leafy green vegetable stew, and various grilled meats like kofta (meatballs).
Where are the best shopping spots in Egypt?
The Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo is a renowned shopping destination, offering everything from spices and perfumes to souvenirs and traditional clothing. In Luxor, you'll find local crafts and souvenirs near the temples and along the Corniche.
What signature events or festivals take place in Egypt?
Egypt hosts many festivals throughout the year. The Islamic festivals of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are significant events, as is Sham el-Nessim, a spring festival celebrating the arrival of spring. The Luxor Hot Air Balloon Festival is a spectacular event, offering breathtaking views of the ancient city from above.
What’s the best place in Egypt for mild and comfortable weather?
During the warmer months, coastal areas like Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast often offer milder temperatures than inland areas. During the winter, many parts of Egypt enjoy pleasant weather, but the Red Sea resorts generally maintain warmer temperatures.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Egypt?
Common mistakes include not exchanging enough currency to Egyptian pounds, not being aware of local customs and dress codes, over-scheduling itineraries, and not booking tours or accommodation in advance, especially during peak season.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Egypt?
Beyond the well-known sites, consider exploring the less-visited sites like the Monastery of Saint Catherine in the Sinai Peninsula, the ancient city of Dendera with its well-preserved temple, or the Bahariya Oasis in the Western Desert, known for its black desert and hot springs.
