Travel to Egypt, June 2024 I’ve seen some comments on travel to Egypt here, so I wanted to comment on my recent experience traveling there in June 2024. TLDR; we had a great time overall, saw amazing sites, and using a small group guided tour worked very well for us! We are a reasonably fit couple in our 50s and took this trip to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary….

Should you do Egypt yourself or with a company? Nile cruise or land tours and for how long? My Egypt trip report and how it was like: If you don’t want to go through the whole report here is the summery: -Plan Egypt pretty in advance not last min. -Navigating the county by yourself is not easy (at least for us and whoever wants to enjoy a stress free holiday). -Long day tours are not the best in the summer (which we avoided), cash is king (you can use cards at hotels and big r…

Taking a Trip to Egypt but my heat tolerance is not that good…WHAT SHOULD I DO? A few months ago I found a very nice deal to go to Cairo, Egypt for 7 days 400$ per person in an inclusive hotel. At this price, they said (they were an agency but I don’t want to promote) everything was included, I mean every trip that I am going to have outside Cairo is already paid for and also all the historical monuments that I am going to …

Israel’s Seizure of Gaza Border Zone Strains Ties With Egypt Israel defied ominous Egyptian warnings and took control of the Philadelphi Corridor, but the reaction from Egypt, which wants to maintain its security cooperation with Israel, has been muted.

Egypt Faces Hard Choices After Israeli Seizure of Gaza’s Southern Border Egypt’s government is weighing its “cornerstone” relationship with Israel against the economic damage the war in Gaza is inflicting and against the domestic outrage over the devastation there.

One week of memorable trip to Egypt I am back home after one week of solo trip to egypt. It was overwhelming and my mind is still spinning with so much history and wonders.

How much to tip in Egypt? Especially a cruise. We’re on a cruise over the Nile right now. It’s a 4 night cruise on a small sailboat. Only holds 10 guests maximum but we’re here with a total of 6 guests including us. We were told beforehand that at the end of the cruise we should tip, which is fine. We were never told how much but one of the other guests was told (by the cruise company) to t…

Two weeks in Egypt Surprisingly had a better time than expected. We went with a tour guide and had minimal pestering while with our private guided tour. We spent time in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, and Alexandria. I will say I did not expect to spend as much money as I did on this trip but I was being overcharged everywhere I went and was unable to haggle the p…

Israel Quietly Pushed for Egypt to Admit Large Numbers of Gazans The Israeli government has not publicly called for large numbers of Gazans to move to Egypt. But in private, diplomats say, it has pushed for just that — augmenting Palestinian fears of a permanent expulsion.

Would like to visit Egypt. Need some suggestions. Hello fellow travelers. I hope you guys are doing well.

I’d like to travel to Egypt with my wife in the end of January and I believe, we would be greatly helped from your experiences. We would like to visit two cities, Cairo and Luxor, and the…

are egypt night and light shows cool/worth it – or a gimmick? i’ll be visiting egypt in december – i see there is a light show at the pyramids, at karnak in luxor, and you can visit luxor at night all lit up. the last one seems genuinely cool to visit then – is it worth seeing both during the day and the evening, or is just one visit enough? and are the pyramid/karnak shows actually cool to catch, or more …

Tricky question – will an entry in my passport cause problems for me getting into Egypt? Idk if anyone can even answer this, but here goes: I’m German, going to visit Egypt for the first time in my life tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to my one week of vacation on the red sea (purely touristic). I’ve just looked into my passport and discovered the Israeli entry from 2016 I had completely forgotten about. I was there as a touris…
