Optimal duration to explore Egypt

Regardless of how long you spend in Egypt, you have the chance to experience the best of the country. A quick, four or five-day window to explore Egypt allows you to cover the mesmerizing cities of Cairo, Alexandria, and Aswan without tiring yourself out. With about a week to spare, you can cast your net further afield and add destinations like Saqqara to your Egypt itinerary. Give yourself more than a week if you want to cruise down the River Nile from Aswan to Luxor, discover the ruins of Karnak and explore the Valley of the Kings. For a well-rounded overview of the country that brings you face to face with almost all its major highlights, we recommend a ten-day trip. Get a good overview of possible durations here.

Packing essentials for a trip to Egypt

For a trip to Egypt, pack lightweight, breathable clothing to stay cool in the heat, along with a scarf or shawl for sun protection and modest dress at religious sites. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring temples and markets. Bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen to shield yourself from the sun. A light jacket or sweater is useful for cooler evenings. Don’t forget a reusable water bottle, power adapter, and a small daypack for daily excursions.
