Where to Go in Egypt
It’s hard to envisage a holiday to Egypt without even a glimpse of The Pyramids, so the bustling City of Cairo is a popular starting point of many an Egyptian adventure, closely followed by time in Luxor, a short flight to the South. With ancient treasures shared between the Valley of the Kings and Queens alongside Hatshesput Temple on the West and Luxor and Karnak Temples on the East, the destinations is a ‘must see’.
With early starts integral to your touring, with the aim of arriving before both the heat and the coach tours, some down time on the Red Sea makes for a very popular finish. Mind you, if you’d like to incorporate relaxation into your historical exploration, you can always choose to cruise down to magical Aswan (or reverse) and spend a lazy afternoon or two on deck by the pool before a final early start to visit the unique Abu Simbel.

When to go
Given the geographic location of Egypt, timing your visit right is important. Due to the extreme heat experienced during May – September, this isn’t the best time to explore the historic sights and attractions, many of which are open air. However during the winter months you can expect blue skies and more temperate warm weather during the day, and cool breezes at night.
