Planning a trip to Egypt? Here you'll find our day-by-day itinerary (Cairo and Giza, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Nile cruise, Red Sea), plus the essential practical info to organise your journey.
The climate is hot and dry. Summer (June-September) is scorching, especially in the south (Luxor and Aswan exceed 40-45 degrees): poorly suited to sightseeing. The ideal period is October to April, with warm days and cool evenings. The Red Sea is enjoyable year-round. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and something warm for winter desert evenings.
