Travel guide
How to get there
Most travellers arrive via Cairo (CAI), Hurghada (HRG) or Sharm El Sheikh (SSH). Domestic flights and sleeper trains connect the main sites.
Local transport
Private, air-conditioned vehicles with a licensed English-speaking driver are the safest and most comfortable option — we arrange them for every booking.
Safety
Egypt's main tourist areas are safe and heavily protected. Follow your guide's advice, keep valuables in the hotel safe and dress modestly at religious sites.
Money & payments
The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the local currency. Cards work in hotels and major restaurants; keep small cash for tips, taxis and site kiosks.
Dress code
Light, breathable clothing suits Egypt's climate. Cover shoulders and knees at mosques and churches; women may bring a light scarf.
Internet & SIM
Local SIM cards (Vodafone, Orange, We) are affordable and easy to buy at the airport. Wi-Fi is available in most hotels and cafés.
Tipping
Tipping ('baksheesh') is customary: ~10% at restaurants, a few EGP for bathroom attendants, and small notes for drivers, guides and hotel staff.
Electricity
230V / 50Hz — European two-pin (Type C / F). No adapter needed for most EU travellers.
Accessibility
Many temples have uneven ground and stairs; accessible transport and wheelchair-friendly hotels are available on request — just tell us in advance.
Local customs
Egyptians are famously warm and hospitable. A greeting of 'As-salaam alaikum' opens doors; asking permission before photographing people is appreciated.
