From Luxor all the way to Aswan, the banks of the dreamlike Nile host the most spectacular temples and monuments. This is where the best places to visit in Egypt cluster.

Egypt Travel Advice

All travelers entering Egypt require a tourist visa. We recommend that you apply for a visa online two weeks prior to your trip via the official website. You can also get a visa at the Cairo International Airport based on your nationality for a maximum of 30 days. It costs US$25, and you can pay it in GBP, USD, or EUR.
Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival in Egypt, and you should carry your passport or travel document with you at all times. Check with your embassy or your official government website for regulations. Bear in mind that the Egypt travel advice is for guidance only.

Bargaining is essential to the shopping culture in Egypt. If you are in a souq, make sure your voice is loud enough and your bargain is strong.
