What travelers are saying

"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

Cairo Tour Selection Trips

  • While Cairo is a relatively safe city, it's also a tourist hub so pickpockets will be around during busy travel times. Keep your belongings close, don't carry large sums of cash or wear expensive jewelry
  • Summer is a popular time to visit, but it gets very, very hot! Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun and sand with scarves, hats (or turbans), and lots sunscreen
  • Take advantage of your guides knowledge. One of the perks of many Egypt tours is learning about the incredible history of this ancient civilization from real archaeologists and Egyptologists. The context they provide will help bring your experience of Egypt and its many ancient sites alive!
  • One common scam in Egypt is that a local will tell you the attraction you are going to is closed because of a protest, and then invite you into their shop. Once in the shop they will pressure you to buy something. Just be aware of this ahead of time, though if you are already with a guide this should not be a problem.

Additional details

What to Wear in Cairo, Egypt

  • Bring a scarf for mosques, and be prepared to take off your shoes
  • Cover your shoulders and legs whenever you can in the main city. Men will be able to get away wearing shorts, but should still avoid tank tops. You will be able to wear less conservative clothing, along with bikinis and bathing suits if you go to very touristy areas, such as Red Sea resorts.
  • Wear lightweight, breathable materials. In particular, synthetics and linen, and cotton  will be your best friends.
  • Ditch your flip flops at home. Long walking distances and dirty streets mean that you will be more comfortable in a pair of breathable sneakers, or another comfortable closed-toe shoe.
  • Sunglasses are a great way to keep the sun out of your eyes, and if you’re a woman, avoid unwanted attention from men. Making eye contact can be seen as a sign of flirtation and encouragement, so sunglasses can prevent it from happening.

Weather and Climate in Cairo

In the summer months (from May to September), Cairo can be quite hot, with the high generally remaining in the low 90’s. For this reason, make sure to dress appropriately, bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun cap if needed. The temperature does drop a little at night, often into the high 60’s, so bring a light sweater if needed.

In the winter, temperatures are cooler, though they remain warm. The coolest months are from December to February, where temperatures range between mid-to-high 60’s. At night, this can drop to the high 40’s, so be sure to bring a light jacket in preparation.

One thing you don’t have to worry about, regardless of the season, is rain. Although it does rain slightly more in the winter, the climate in Cairo is generally very dry and averse to precipitation.

Egyptian Food and Food in Cairo

Sampling Egyptian specialties she be a major component of your trip to Cairo. Egyptian restaurants are pretty uncommon in most of the Western world, so sampling the country’s food in its capital is sure to be an adventurous experience. In particular, you should try Egypt’s street food -- the homeland of shawarma, falafel, and kebab.

Some of the most important dishes to sample include Koshary (the “poor man’s” dish that has captured Egyptian hearts, it is made with macaroni, chickpeas, garlic, and a vinegar tomato sauce), Fiteer Baladi (a buttery filo dough round that can be made with savory or sweet toppings), and everything with a side of torshy (pickled vegetables).

There is also dessert: baklava, Um Ali, rice pudding, and basbousa are all worth their hype!
