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 essential, of course. Then there's the breathtaking Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple complexes, showcasing ancient Egyptian architecture and history. The Valley of the Kings, with its pharaonic tombs, is another must-see, as is the Abu Simbel temple complex, relocated to save it from flooding. Don't forget the ancient city of Alexandria, with its Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
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 a chance to visit various sites along the river. Exploring the Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo for souvenir shopping is also a must. Camel riding in the desert near Giza is a popular activity. For a more cultural experience, consider visiting a traditional Egyptian cooking class or attending a sound and light show at a historical site like the Pyramids or Karnak Temple.
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, making sightseeing less comfortable.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Egypt?
Which areas are best for spending a week in Egypt?
A week allows for a good exploration of both Upper and Lower Egypt. You could spend a few days in Cairo, exploring the pyramids, museums, and the city itself. Then, take a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, visiting sites like Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples along the way. This itinerary combines historical sightseeing with a relaxing cruise experience.
Which parts of Egypt are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a short trip, focus on either Cairo or Luxor. Cairo offers a whirlwind tour of ancient wonders and bustling city life. Alternatively, Luxor provides a more focused experience on ancient temples and the Nile. A weekend is enough to see the highlights of either location.
Renting a car isn't generally recommended, especially for first-time visitors. Traffic in cities like Cairo can be chaotic, and driving conditions in some areas can be challenging. Organised tours and taxis are often a more convenient and safer option.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Egypt?
Credit card acceptance is becoming more common, particularly in larger hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas. However, it's still advisable to carry Egyptian pounds (EGP) for smaller establishments and local markets. Cash is king in many places.
What are the largest airports in Egypt?
Cairo International Airport (CAI) is the main international airport, serving as a hub for most international flights. Other significant airports include Hurghada International Airport (HRG) and Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH), both primarily serving the Red Sea resorts.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Egypt?
Modest dress is appreciated, especially when visiting religious sites. Asking permission before taking photos of people is polite. Bargaining is expected in markets, but do so respectfully. Right-hand gestures are preferred for greetings and exchanging money.
What local specialities should you try in Egypt?
Koshari, a mix of rice, lentils, macaroni, and chickpeas topped with tomato sauce and garlic vinegar, is a national favourite. Ful medames, a fava bean stew, is a popular breakfast dish. Try also Molokhia, a green leafy vegetable stew, and various grilled meats like kofta.
Where are the best shopping spots in Egypt?
The Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo is famous for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse goods. Souvenirs, spices, perfumes, and clothing are all readily available. In Luxor and Aswan, you'll find local markets selling traditional crafts and textiles.
What signature events or festivals take place in Egypt?
The Islamic festivals of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are significant events, with celebrations across the country. Coptic Christmas is also widely celebrated among the Christian population. Smaller local festivals often occur throughout the year, particularly in rural areas.
What’s the best place in Egypt for mild and comfortable weather?
During the summer months, coastal areas such as Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast tend to experience milder temperatures than inland areas. However, even in these locations, summer can be hot and humid.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Egypt?
Common mistakes include not exchanging enough currency to Egyptian pounds, not adequately preparing for the heat, failing to negotiate prices in markets, and not booking tours or accommodation in advance, particularly during peak season.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Egypt?
The White Desert National Park offers surreal landscapes of chalk rock formations. Siwa Oasis, a remote desert oasis, provides a unique cultural experience. The Monastery of Saint Anthony and Saint Paul, located in the Eastern Desert, offers a glimpse into the early days of Christianity in Egypt.
