F.A.Q
Is Egypt safe for tourists ?
Tourist areas including Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan are safe with heavy tourism police presence. Millions visit Egypt safely each year. Stay with your guide in tourist areas, follow local advice, and you'll have a wonderful experience. The White Desert safari is operated by licensed professionals.
How hot does it get in the desert?
Summer temperatures (June-September) can exceed 40°C (104°F). Winter (December-February) is mild with daytime temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F) but can drop to 5°C (41°F) at night. The desert has extreme temperature swings between day and night.
What should I wear when visiting temples and mosques?
Dress modestly out of respect. Cover shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites. Women should carry a scarf for mosques (head covering required). Light, loose cotton clothing is comfortable in the heat and culturally appropriate.
Are the Nile cruises comfortable?
Yes! Deluxe Nile cruises offer air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms, sundeck, swimming pool, restaurant, and lounge. They're small floating hotels. You'll wake up at different temples each day - it's a magical way to see Egypt.
Can I climb inside the pyramids?
The Great Pyramid's interior is open but involves climbing through narrow, steep passages. If you're claustrophobic or have mobility issues, stick to viewing from outside - still spectacular! The interior is hot and crowded but an incredible experience.
What about the desert camping?
White Desert camping is glamping-style with proper mattresses, bedding, and pillows in comfortable tents. There are clean portable toilets and washing facilities. Temperatures drop significantly at night, so warm sleeping bags are provided.
Do I need a guide or can I explore alone?
For your safety and to fully understand Egypt's rich history, guides are required at most archaeological sites. An experienced Egyptologist brings ancient stories to life. Trying to navigate independently means missing incredible historical context.
Can I take photos inside tombs and museums?
Photography is prohibited in most tombs and inside the Egyptian Museum (protecting ancient artifacts from camera flashes). You can photograph temple exteriors. Special photography permits are available for extra fees, but your memories and postcards will serve you well!
