Egypt

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Egypt's awe-inspiring monuments, left by the pharaohs, Greeks and Romans as well as by early Christians and Muslims, attract thousands of visitors every year. Yet the pyramids, temples, tombs, monasteries and mosques are just part of Egypt's fascination.

In the gargantuan city of Cairo the sound of the muezzin summoning the faithful to prayer competes with pop music and the screech of car horns. And everywhere there are people: swathed in long flowing robes or western-style clothes, hanging from buses, weaving through an obstacle course of animals and traffic.

Suggested Itineraries: Egypt

The best time to visit Egypt depends on where you want to go. For visiting Upper Egypt, winter is easily the most comfortable time. June to August is unbearable in Upper Egypt, with daytime temperatures soaring up to 104°F (40°C). The happiest compromise for an all-Egypt trip is to visit in spring (March to May) or autumn (October - November).
