Third, when is the best time to visit Egypt? Here’s what you need
If you’re dreaming of standing in front of the Pyramids of Giza, cruising down the Nile, or wandering through the colorful markets of Cairo, you might be wondering, when’s the best time to go to Egypt?
- From October to April
- This is when the weather is actually nice. You can walk around the pyramids, explore ancient temples, and cruise the Nile, all without feeling like the sun is personally attacking you. Days are warm, nights are cool, and everything just feels right.
- December and January
They are super popular, lots of people go over the holidays, so it’s a bit busier, and prices can spike. If you want fewer crowds but the same great weather, shoot for November or February. You’ll still get all the good stuff, just with a little more breathing room.
What about summer?
Egypt’s summer is no joke. From May to September, it gets hot. especially in places like Luxor and Aswan. Sightseeing in that kind of heat isn’t for everyone.
That said, it’s the off-season, so prices drop and there are way fewer tourists. And if you're heading to the Red Sea like Sharm el-Sheik or Hurghada, it’s actually not too bad, you’ll probably be in the water most of the time anyway.
Avoid peak seasons, which are Christmas, New Year, and Easter, or book your tour at least 6 months in advance to lock in better prices, secure your preferred accommodations, and skip the last-minute stress of fully booked tours and flights.
Fourth, take time to select the right itinerary with Grand Travel
The best of them that covers all of Egypt, which is:
- The Pyramids of Giza
Explore the three main pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest one and the oldest of the three, and the only remaining wonder of the ancient world.
The Pyramid of Khafre is slightly smaller but appears taller because it sits on higher ground
The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest, but still impressive, with a rich history.
It’s honestly mind-blowing when you realize the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids without any modern engineering tools. They didn’t study architecture like we do today, it’s no wonder these massive structures are still standing thousands of years later.
If you are looking for something really magical, you should try the pyramids' sound and light show:
The pyramids sound and Light Show is an experience you won’t want to miss. Picture this: you’re sitting in front of the Sphinx as the pyramids light up, and the story of ancient Egypt unfolds with dramatic music and narration. The lights, the sounds, and the whole atmosphere really make the history come alive in a way that feels almost surreal.
The show is about 45 minutes long, and it’s like a journey through time, from the building of the pyramids to the legends surrounding them. It’s not just a history lesson, it’s a full-on visual and auditory experience.
- Crystal Mountain:
At Crystal Mountain, you’ll be amazed by the glittering natural crystals scattered across the rocks, it’s like the desert is sparkling. Visitors usually stop here during a White Desert tour to snap some stunning photos, climb the small hill for panoramic views.
- Grand museum:
When you step into the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, you will feel like you have stepped back in time
See King Tut’s treasures: his golden mask, jewelry, and so many of the things he was buried with. It’s one of the biggest highlights for most visitors.
Wander through thousands of artifacts: statues, ancient tools, coffins, and everyday objects that tell the story of life in ancient Egypt.
The atmosphere is amazing, and there’s something fascinating in every corner.
- Visit Alexandria:
would be fine, but should be a luxurious visit and include the museum of jewelry, this museum is full of glittering treasures, crowns, tiaras, diamond-studded everything, from Egypt’s royal family.
