What travelers are saying

"Our trip to Iceland was absolutely stunning and Charlie the Traveler curated an amazing and adventurous trip for us that kept in mind all of the attractions that were on our list and many other gems this beautiful country has to offer. We hit a few roadblocks with our tours due to weather conditions and volcanic activity in the area, but Charlie The Traveler and his team were on it at every moment and were able to provide us with alternative tours that did not take away from the overall experience. His team is led by individuals that truly cares about your experience. If you need a perfect trip planned then Charlie the Traveler is the way to go. This trip has been absolutely perfect and can’t wait to come back and explore it again."

What travelers are saying

"I've just returned from my trip to China, a week ago. I've seen many-many interesting places of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. But most of all i liked my 2-days trip to Longshen villages with my guide Frank from chinahighlights. The day before our trip has started, in Guilin, Frank met me in hotel and told about our journey. Next 2 days we visited traditional ancient chinese villages (the biggest from them are Ping'an and Dazhai), walking around them, saw the rice-terraces landscape (it was really unbelievable). Also we had a hiking between villages, and stayed at night at ZhongLiu village. I haven't seen any tourists in this village, even chinese tourists. It was fantastic cause we've seen real chinese life of local people, including, for example, planting vegetables, collecting tea). Very quiet, fresh air, natural food. Yes, in this village almost no shops, no souvenirs, but you dont need them. All around you a hundred times better. I advice all, who wants to see real chinese life, visit this place, especially this village, stay at night there. Thanks very much to my guide Frank and chinahighlights for this trip!"

What travelers are saying

"I can’t say enough good about our trip to Egypt, arranged through Look at Egypt Tours. We felt 100% taken care of through our entire trip. Tarek was our tour leader, Ahmed was our guide in Cairo and Muhammed was our guide through most of Egypt, with the Nile cruise. Given the state of the world right now, I’m so glad that we were able to take this trip of a lifetime several Months before quarantine shut the world down. I look forward to the world getting healthier that we may travel again like this. Loved every minute, we highly recommend Look at Egypt tours!"

What travelers are saying

"I cannot say enough good things about Odynovo, both on the coordination end (we worked with Laura Li, who was fantastic!) to the on-site people (shout out to our airport contact in Cairo Hassan, our skilled driver Ahmed, our fun Cairo guide Mai, and our knowledgable Aswan/Luxor guide Hazem - BEST crew EVER!!!) who make your trip a seamless, safe, exciting, educational, and all-around transformative life highlight. This experience was seriously a bucket-list one for my husband and me, and I can NOT emphasize enough how important the Odynovo team was to making Egypt an infinitely easier context to navigate. If you've watched travel vloggers and social media influencers attempt to navigate Egypt on their own and complain about a negative experience, fear not - if you go with Odynovo, every. single. thing. will be taken care of. There is NOTHING to worry about, and the experience was entirely positive. The people, the food, the culture, the historical sites and stories - with Odynovo taking care of all the logistical details, these are the only things you need to focus on. I am full of gratitude for the experience I had in Egypt, and I credit Odynovo for it. I will absolutely use them in the future for other destinations, and I urge you to do the same. I know my Egypt experience would not have been nearly the same had I not gone with Odynovo. Check out our adventure here: https://youtu.be/vMlAmVk7vBY Also, a passionate recommendation from my experience: DEFINITELY make the trip to Abu Simbel!! It was a major highlight (we went in a private car that left Aswan around 9am since we'd flown in from Cairo that morning). We stopped at the High Dam first, so by the time we arrived at Abu Simbel, the tour busses were on their way back to Aswan, and we had the whole of the site almost entirely to ourselves. It was one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my life. Do it. Stay the night in Abu Simbel if you can in order to avoid the crowds. It was amazing. ✨"

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

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!
