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 Valley of the Kings, home to numerous pharaohs' tombs, and the breathtaking Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple complexes. Don't forget the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples, relocated to save them from flooding.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Egypt?
A Nile cruise is a classic Egyptian experience, offering a relaxing way to see the sights. Exploring ancient sites like Saqqara and Memphis provides a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian civilisation. A camel ride through the desert is a memorable adventure, and exploring the vibrant souks (markets) in Cairo or Luxor offers a taste of local life. Consider a hot air balloon ride over Luxor for stunning views at sunrise.
The best time to visit is during the cooler months, from October to April. The weather is pleasant, with warm days and cool nights, ideal for sightseeing. The summer months (May to September) can be extremely hot, especially in Upper Egypt.
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 either Upper or Lower Egypt. For a historical focus, explore the Nile Valley, visiting Luxor, Aswan, and perhaps Abu Simbel. For a blend of history and city life, spend a few days in Cairo, exploring the pyramids and museums, then head south to Luxor for the temples.
Which parts of Egypt are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Cairo is perfect for a weekend trip. You can see the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and explore the Islamic Cairo area with its mosques and bustling markets. Alternatively, a weekend in Alexandria offers a different experience, with its Mediterranean beaches and historical sites like the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
Renting a car isn't generally recommended for independent exploration outside of major cities. The roads can be challenging, and traffic in cities is heavy. Organised tours or taxis are a better option for most travellers. However, if you're comfortable driving in challenging conditions and have a driver, it might be suitable for longer journeys between cities.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Egypt?
Credit card acceptance is improving, but it's still not as widespread as in many other countries. Larger hotels and restaurants usually accept credit cards, but smaller establishments and local markets often prefer cash. It's advisable to carry Egyptian pounds for smaller purchases and daily expenses.
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 Borg El Arab Airport (HBE) in Alexandria and Aswan International Airport (ASW).
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Egypt?
Modest dress, especially when visiting religious sites, is appreciated. Avoid public displays of affection. It's polite to remove your shoes before entering some homes and mosques. Asking permission before taking photographs of people is respectful. Bargaining is expected in markets, but do so politely.
What local specialties should you try in Egypt?
Koshari, a delicious 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 soup, and various grilled meats like kofta (meatballs).
Where are the best shopping spots in Egypt?
The Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo is a famous place to find spices, perfumes, souvenirs, and traditional crafts. Luxor and Aswan also have vibrant souks offering similar goods. For more modern shopping, Cairo's City Stars mall is a good option.
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 celebrations. Coptic Christmas is also widely observed. The Camel Festival in Aswan is a unique cultural event.
What’s the best place in Egypt for mild and comfortable weather?
During the cooler months (October to April), the coastal areas like Alexandria offer mild and comfortable weather. However, even in these areas, summer temperatures can be quite high.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Egypt?
Overpacking, not exchanging enough currency, neglecting to dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and not adequately protecting themselves from the sun are common mistakes. Failing to negotiate prices in markets and not booking tours or accommodation in advance can also lead to problems.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Egypt?
The Monastery of Saint Catherine in Sinai is a stunning, historically significant site. The White Desert National Park offers surreal landscapes. The less-visited ancient sites of Dendera and Abydos offer a quieter alternative to the more popular attractions. Explore the Siwa Oasis for a unique desert experience.
