Landmarks
Whether you seek ancient wonders, modern attractions, or relaxing beaches, Egypt has something for everyone. Here are some of the best places to visit, along with the best times to go and where to stay.

The Pyramids: No trip to Egypt would be complete without seeing the majestic pyramids of Giza, the last remaining wonder of the ancient world. These colossal structures were built over 4,000 years ago as tombs for the pharaohs and their consorts. You can marvel at the engineering and craftsmanship of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and oldest of the three, or explore the nearby Sphinx, the mysterious half-human, half-lion statue. You can also visit other pyramids in the area, such as the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, or the Bent and Red Pyramids at Dahshur.

Nile Cruises: One of the best ways to experience the beauty and culture of Egypt is to take a cruise along the Nile, the longest river in the world. You can enjoy the scenic views of the lush riverbanks, the desert landscapes, and the ancient monuments as you sail from Luxor to Aswan, or vice versa. You can also stop at various ports of call to visit the impressive temples, tombs, and museums along the way, such as the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Kom Ombo, Philae, and Abu Simbel.

Sharm El Sheik: If you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, Sharm El Sheik is the place to go. This resort town on the Red Sea coast offers white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world. You can explore the stunning coral reefs, the colorful marine life, and the shipwrecks that lie beneath the surface. You can also enjoy the lively nightlife, the shopping, and the dining options at the marina, or visit the old town of El Dahar for a taste of traditional Egypt.

Nabq Bay: Nabq Bay is a tranquil and peaceful area in Sharm El Sheik, with a protected status as a natural reserve. Here, you can mingle with dozens of species of flora and fauna amid the mangroves, or dive into the sparkling water to explore the nearby coral reef. You can also enjoy the private hotel beaches, the water parks, the spas, and the restaurants that cater to your every need. Nabq Bay is a perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy the nature and the luxury of Sharm El Sheik.

Hurghada: Hurghada is another popular resort town on the Red Sea coast, with a vibrant and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Hurghada offers a variety of activities and attractions for all ages and interests, from water sports and desert safaris to golf and aquariums. You can also visit the Giftun Islands, a paradise for snorkelers and sunbathers, or the Eastern Arabian Desert, where you can experience the Bedouin culture and the camel rides. Hurghada is a great place to have fun and adventure in Egypt.

When to go
The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when temperatures are cooler, but still pleasantly warm across the country. This makes exploring the busy streets of Cairo, visiting the Pyramids in the desert, and exploring ancient Pharaonic tombs more comfortable and enjoyable. You can also avoid the crowds and the high prices that come with the peak seasons of winter and summer2. If you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, the Red Sea resorts are still sunny and warm, but not too hot, during these months. You can also enjoy diving and snorkeling in the clear water, as the sea conditions are usually calm and the visibility is good.
