HeritageHistoryNile CruiseDesert

Egypt is the original bucket-list journey — the Pyramids of Giza, pharaonic tombs in the Valley of the Kings, and a Nile cruise gliding past five thousand years of history. Cairo's chaos, Luxor's temples and the Red Sea's reefs make it one of the world's great cultural adventures.

Best time to visit Egypt

October to April is the best time to visit Egypt, with comfortable temperatures for the pyramids, temples and Nile cruise. Summer (June–August) is intensely hot in Luxor and Aswan, though the Red Sea resorts stay pleasant and cheaper.

Top things to do in Egypt

  • Stand before the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx
  • Cruise the Nile between Luxor and Aswan
  • Explore the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple
  • See the treasures at the Grand Egyptian Museum
  • Visit the temples of Abu Simbel
  • Wander Cairo's Khan el-Khalili bazaar
  • Snorkel or dive the Red Sea reefs at Hurghada

The Nile cruise

A 3–4 night cruise between Luxor and Aswan is the classic way to see Egypt's greatest temples — you unpack once and the sights come to you. We pick well-run boats and pair the cruise with Cairo and the pyramids.

How much time?

A week covers Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and a cruise comfortably. Add the Red Sea for beach time or Abu Simbel for the most dramatic temples of all — we tailor the length to your interests.

Insider tip: Do the temples early morning or late afternoon — you'll dodge both the midday heat and the tour-bus crowds at Karnak and the Valley of the Kings.
