Frequently Asked Questions
โ๏ธ General Egypt Travel FAQs
Yes, Egypt is considered safe for tourists, especially in major destinations like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts. With guided tours and licensed operators like Egypt Trippers, you enjoy stress-free travel with secure transfers, expert guides, and 24/7 support.
Most travelers need a visa for Egypt, which can be obtained online through the Egypt e-Visa portal or on arrival at Cairo Airport. We provide assistance to make the process easy.
The best time to visit is from October to April, when the weather is cooler for sightseeing and perfect for a Nile Cruise between Luxor and Aswan.
Most travelers choose 7 to 11 days Egypt itineraries, which cover Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and optionally Alexandria or Hurghada. Shorter 4-day Egypt tours are possible, but a week gives the best experience.
