Yes. Egypt is generally safe for U.S. travelers, especially when touring with licensed guides and reputable companies like Your Egypt Tours. We handle all logistics to ensure a smooth and secure experience. The Egyptian government has significantly invested in tourist safety with enhanced security at airports, hotels, and tourist sites.
The current regional tensions do not affect tourist areas, which remain calm and welcoming. Like in any country, travelers should stay informed, follow local guidelines, and avoid restricted zones (e.g., borders with Libya or remote desert areas without a guide).
Egyptians are known for their hospitality, and tourism is a major part of the economy—so visitors are genuinely welcomed.
The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April, when the weather is cooler and ideal for sightseeing.
October–November: Perfect for Nile cruises and desert tours; warm days and cool evenings.
December–February: Peak season. Great for visiting pyramids and temples, but can get crowded.
March–April: Excellent weather continues, and it’s less crowded.
Summer (May–September) can be extremely hot, especially in Upper Egypt (Luxor, Aswan), but coastal cities like Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh are still pleasant due to sea breezes.
Yes. U.S. citizens can easily obtain a tourist visa online (e-visa) before arrival or purchase one upon arrival at Egyptian airports.
e-Visa: Available online for citizens of over 70 countries via the official Egypt e-Visa Portal. It’s valid for 30 days.
Visa on Arrival: Available for certain nationalities at major airports (Cairo, Hurghada, Luxor) for $25 USD (single entry).
Embassy Visa: Required for some countries not eligible for e-Visa or VOA.
Always check your nationality’s requirements before traveling.
Egypt is a conservative Muslim country, and modest dress is appreciated, especially in public and religious places.
For women: Loose clothing that covers shoulders and knees is recommended. A scarf for mosque visits is useful.
For men: Avoid sleeveless shirts and short shorts in cities.
At beach resorts (like Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada), Western-style clothing and swimsuits are fine.
Comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, a hat, and breathable fabrics are essential for exploring.
It is not recommended to drink tap water in Egypt. While it’s treated and safe for locals, it may upset the stomachs of visitors unaccustomed to it.
Drink bottled water, which is widely available and affordable.
Avoid ice in drinks unless you are certain it’s from purified water.
Use bottled water even for brushing teeth if you have a sensitive stomach.
Egypt’s official currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP or LE).
Cash is king in many places, especially small shops, markets, and remote areas.
Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are accepted in hotels, upscale restaurants, and major shops, especially in cities.
ATMs are widely available. It's best to withdraw Egyptian Pounds locally.
Tip: Avoid changing too much money at the airport for poor rates; use banks or official exchange offices.
While it’s possible to visit sites independently, a licensed Egyptologist guide is highly recommended for:
Deep historical context that brings ancient monuments to life
Easy navigation of large sites like the Pyramids, Karnak, and Valley of the Kings
Handling logistics and avoiding tourist traps
Enhancing safety and overall experience
Most luxury and private tours (like with Your Egypt Tours) include expert guides for all major destinations.
Here’s a practical packing list for Egypt:
Lightweight, breathable clothing (linen or cotton)

A small daypack for excursions
Hand sanitizer, tissues, medications (including for digestion)
Swimwear if heading to the Red Sea

Luxor & Karnak Temples and Valley of the Kings (Luxor)
Abu Simbel Temples (Aswan)

Egyptian cuisine is flavorful, hearty, and vegetarian-friendly. Must-try dishes include:
Koshari – a local favorite of lentils, rice, pasta, and tomato sauce
Ful medames – mashed fava beans with olive oil and spices
Taameya (Egyptian falafel), grilled meats, and fresh pita
Molokhia, stuffed vine leaves, and shawarma are also popular
Street food can be delicious and safe if you choose busy, clean stalls with high turnover. For sensitive stomachs, it’s best to stick with restaurants or ask your guide for trusted local eateries.
Absolutely! We tailor every itinerary to suit your travel dates, interests, and preferences—whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family.
