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.
