There aren’t many tourists visiting Egypt on our egypt tour packages, fewer still backpacking, but those that do need good information and We know we’ve found that hard to find.

 

Climate

Egypt has an arid climate, therefore it is always hot and dry. The coldest months, which are also the most popular, are December through March with our egypt tour packages, although really any month in the spring or fall would be suitable. When you visit Egypt in September on your egypt tour packages, the heat was occasionally oppressive in Luxor, but we didn't consider it to be a major issue in Cairo. In comparison to neighboring Middle Eastern nations like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Egypt is not as warm.

 

Safety

Over the years, Egypt has faced with certain safety challenges, but things appear to be getting better. Even yet, we would advise avoiding crowds and exercising situational awareness on our egypt tour packages because terrorist incidents have happened close to some of Egypt's most well-known tourist destinations.

Uber & Taxis

On our egypt tours from india, Uber is really affordable in Cairo and you can use it to get anywhere. An ordinary cab ride from Cairo Airport to downtown Cairo, for instance, shouldn't cost more than 50–60 LE, but a trip to the Pyramids from Cairo Airport should cost 100–110 LE on our egypt tour packages from Chennai, Kerala, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad.
