Egypt – Travel Guides & Itineraries

In 2024, I traveled to Egypt. I visited Cairo, the Giza pyramids, and Zigazig. I saw the incredible ancient pyramids and learned about Egypt’s history. Cairo was busy and full of life. It was a unforgettable trip full of amazing sights.

Best Time to Visit Egypt

October to April is the best time to visit Egypt, especially for sightseeing in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and desert areas.
Weather is cooler, skies are clear, and it’s perfect for visiting pyramids, cruising the Nile, or walking in ancient temples.

Avoid visiting in July and August if you’re sensitive to heat — temperatures in Upper Egypt (like Luxor) can exceed 40°C.
