How Safe is Egypt?

Enjoy your luxury Egypt vacation packages to the fullest without any hesitation, it's safe in Egypt. The country is closely guarded by the police and the military. You can walk the streets in the middle of the night without fear. Sometimes, as in every country around the world there are thefts, that's why it is good to keep valuables, money and passports in your hotel safe. Egypt is very well protected against possible terrorist attacks.

Egypt is the 16th safest country in the world ahead of the USA and UK - you can read the article here.

You can feel safe and confident with Inside Egypt, because we pay special attention to Egyptian legal and moral standards, safety rules and health prophylaxis.

We are very well versed in the cultural specifics of the Arab world. Tourists are usually not aware of the details or they succumb to oriental myths that have nothing to do with reality (e.g. pseudo-knowledge about bargaining in bazaars, recognizing the true intentions of Egyptians).

In hotels in Cairo or on a ship during a cruise on the Nile, the rules of Islam are not mandatory due to the commercial nature of these places. But it is different when we go outside the hotel, leave the ship, or when we find ourselves in small towns and villages.

We are a travel company that will take care of your safety at every stage of your luxury Egypt vacation. Your safety and well-being are our number one priority. Read more about safety in Egypt here

Useful Tips for a Vacation in Egypt - What should you know before trip to Egypt?

Egypt attracts visitors with it's good weather all year round and it's beautiful monuments. It's no wonder that more and more travelers choose this destination as their holiday destination. However, your first trip to Egypt may raise doubts in formal matters. We'll explain how to get a visa to Egypt, what currency to take with you and what to remember when visiting this beautiful country.

Do you need a visa to enter Egypt?
Most visitors to Egypt need to obtain a visa to enter the country. A visa is only not required for a stay in the Sinai Peninsula.

Travel document
When going to Egypt, you must have a passport with you that's valid for a minimum of six months from the date of entry into Egypt. If your passport is valid for less than six months, you will also not be able to enter Egypt. So please check the expiry date of your passports carefully before traveling.

How to get a visa to Egypt?
A visa to Egypt can be obtained online before departure by completing the application on the website or purchasing it at the airport in Egypt. At the airport, you can buy the visa at the bank cubicles and it costs $ 25. This visa is valid for 30 days from the date of arrival. Visa sales desks are open 24 hours a day, so regardless of the time of arrival, you will be able to buy a visa on the spot. Just remember to have cash with you because card payments are very rarely accepted.

What does passport control look like at the airport?
After purchasing your Egyptian visa, go to passport control. There, the border guard will check if you have purchased a visa, and then stamp your passport with the date of entry to Egypt. Soon after, there is another control where an official checks if we have a visa and an entry stamp to Egypt.

After these two checks, you can collect your luggage from the belt. Your luggage is scanned to check whether you are carrying any prohibited substances or products on the way out of the airport.

What cannot be brought into Egypt?
It is strictly forbidden to bring drones of any size into Egypt.
Additionally, certain medicines are forbidden from entering Egypt. Strong painkillers such as Tramadol and drugs containing morphine are mainly forbidden. If customs officials at the airport have any doubts about a drug, it will be confiscated for examination. There is no official list of banned drugs, but if you want to be sure that you can take a drug with you, please contact the Egyptian embassy in the country where you live.

What can't be taken out of Egypt?
Restrictions also apply to tourists leaving Egypt. Attempts to take away items of historic value, i.e. historical artifacts and fragments of a coral reef or shells, are punishable.

Money
The currency of Egypt is the Egyptian Pound. Usually the name is shortened to LE, from French livre égyptienne. The Egyptian Pound is divided into 100 piastres.

Cash or card?
Egypt is a country where cash payments are still very popular, especially in small shops and bazaars. So you should always try to have a supply of cash with you. You can pay by card in hotels, large supermarkets and restaurants.

What currency to take to Egypt?
Of course, it is best to pay with Egyptian pounds on the spot. If you bring US dollars with you, you can exchange them when needed.

Just in case, it is always worth having an ATM card with you and withdrawing Egyptian pounds from the nearest ATM.

When to go to Egypt?
The dates from November to February is our best recommendation for a luxury Egypt vacation. With the lower daytime temperatures during this period, you can easily explore. However, it is worth remembering that this is the tourist season in Egypt itself, so attractions will be crowded. At the start of January and February, there are also winter holidays in Egyptian schools, which is why many families come to Luxor or Aswan for holidays. On the one hand, daytime temperatures are not higher than 30ºC in the very south of the country, so you can visit comfortably. On the other hand, during this time, Egypt is visited by a lot of tourists.

What's the weather like in Egypt?
One of the reasons why tourists choose luxury Egypt vacations for their holidays is the good weather all year round. Remember, however, that Egypt is a large country and the temperatures vary greatly depending on the region. The easiest way to discuss the weather for us is taking into account the part of the country.

North Egypt (Cairo, Alexandria)
During the winter season (November to February) the temperatures are between 6-25ºC. Of course, it is coldest in the evenings, at night and in the morning, so if you are going to the north of the country at this time, take warm clothes. You will really need long pants and a sweatshirt, and even a jacket for cold evenings. In December and January you should also be prepared for rainy days. From May to October the temperature remains above 20ºC, and from June to August it even reaches over 40ºC during the day.

South Egypt (Luxor, Aswan)
It is much warmer in the south of the country than in the north. This means that in winter there is little chance of rain, and in summer it feels like an oven. From December to February, temperatures range from 8 to 30ºC. The nights are quite cold, so it's worth having something warmer for evening walks, but it's really hot during the day. From May to November, temperatures stay above 30ºC and even reach 50ºC in the warmest months, i.e. June and July.

Non-working days
In Egypt, Friday and Saturday are non-working days. However, shops, restaurants and tourist attractions are open 7 days a week. The exception is closure due to public holidays. Then you won't be able to visit the museums or most of the temples.

Vaccinations
No compulsory vaccinations are required for Egypt. However, it is worth bearing in mind the different bacterial flora of this country, which causes the so-called "Pharaoh's revenge" or travelers' diarrhea.  When on your luxury Egypt vacation, be careful with the food you eat, do not drink tap water and take care of hygiene.

Insurance
As with any trip abroad, remember to have concise travel insurance. Public health care in Egypt is not the best, but private is quite expensive. If you plan to visit Egypt, make sure that your insurance covers the types of activities that you will complete on your vacation.

Things To See on Your Trip to Egypt - What sites are worth seeing on Egypt vacation ? 

Egypt is a country of indescribable diversity, and it gives you the opportunity to experience an extraordinary adventure. The land of the pharaohs has many attractions to offer, including admiring the magnificent pyramids, enjoying camel safaris with Bedouin guides and a relaxing cruise along the Nile. Unforgettable memories to take away are guaranteed. Check out below the sights that we think are worth seeing during your luxury Egypt vacation!

Pyramids in Giza
Located on the outskirts of Cairo, the Giza Pyramids are a landmark of ancient Egypt that must be seen with your own eyes to be believed. The biggest pyramid on the complex is the Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops. It is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world that has survived to this day and it is a truly unforgettable sight. The size of this monumental structure means that tourists facing this amazing building most often feel humble thinking about the ancient builders. With our luxury Egypt vacations, you can visit this pyramid in an intimate private atmosphere, without the crowds.

Saqqara
True lovers of antiquity must visit Saqqaa, which, according to many tourists, is more interesting than the famous monuments in Giza. Recognized as the oldest stone structure in the world, the unique step pyramid of Djoser is part of the funeral complex of King Djoser, ruler of the 3rd Dynasty. It is a unique, six-level pyramid, designed by the architect Imhotep.

Nile Valley
One of the best, most comfortable, and also one of the most enjoyable ways to explore with luxury Egypt vacation is to take a cruise along the Nile. Sailing along the lush shores of the Nile Valley surrounded by golden sand dunes. Then visiting ancient Egyptian buildings and monuments such as Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel are undoubtedly on the wish list of any tourist visiting Egypt.

Karnak Temple Complex
The temple complex in Karnak consists of three main temples, several smaller inner temples and a number of outer temples. They are all testimony of the work of many generations of ancient builders over the course of 1500 years. Approx. 30 different pharaohs contributed to the creation and expansion of this complex, which gained greatness, complexity and variety to be seen nowhere else. The Temple of Amun,which is the main structure of the complex, is the largest place of worship ever built.

Oasis of Siwa
All experts on the subject unanimously agree that the Siwa Oasis is by far the most interesting oasis in Egypt. It's a green island full of mineral springs, salt lakes and endless olive and palm groves. Shali, the oasis' main town, invites you to visit the strange ruins of the Shali Fortress that dominate the city center. It is worth following the sandy paths towards the Temple of the Oracle, to which Alexander the Great himself came to seek advice.

The White Desert
The White Desert has a well-deserved reputation as Egypt's most famous desert destination for luxury Egypt vacations - and for good reason. Cretaceous rocks have eroded here and become monolithic sculptures - venoms - with unusual forms resembling camels, leopards, lions, ostriches and hawks. The number of otherworldly and beautifully carved rock formations shaped as giant mushrooms or stacked pebbles is unmatched in any other desert in the world. The easiest way to get to the White Desert is from Oasis Baharija or Farafra.

Temple of Deir el Bahari
Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple is located at the foot of a mighty cliff on the west bank of the Nile. The temple is also known as Deir el Bahri and it was dedicated to Amon-Ra, god of the sun. The creator of the unique building was an architect named Senemut, who designed the temple in a classic way. The terrace with columns, several of which are almost 28 meters high, is a sight to admire.

Philae Island
The ancient island of Philae was the sacred center of worship of the goddess Isis, and the site of the magnificent temple complex that's now known as the Temple of Philae. For millennia, Philae Island attracted pilgrims from all over the world known at the time. The island was completely flooded after the construction of the Aswan Dam. The flooding of the island spurred the UNESCO initiative to preserve the magnificent Temple of Philae. The temple complex was dismantled, and moved to the island of Agilkia, which then took the name of Philae.

These are just some of the places that you need to visit during your all-inclusive trip to Egypt. Browse our site for a more extensive list of places to visit for your luxury Egypt vacations
