Is Egypt safe to travel to right now?

Millions of tourists visit Egypt every year and are generally safe, particularly in major tourist areas like Cairo, Luxor, and the Red Sea resorts.

What should I know before going to Egypt?

Before traveling to Egypt, remember you cannot drink the tap water and should stick to bottled water. Driving can be chaotic, so be prepared.

Don't forget a hat, sunscreen, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Which month is the best for an Egypt trip?

The best time to visit Egypt for pleasant temperatures is during the cooler months of October to April.
