Egypt is magical… but there’s a lot no one tells you before you go.
From visas and safety to traffic, vendors, dress codes and the heat — here’s a guide I wish I had before visiting Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan and Hurghada.
The best time to visit? October to April for cooler weather and comfortable sightseeing.
But whatever season you choose, go with an open mind, stay firm with boundaries, and give yourself the chance to form your own opinion.
Egypt is full of history, surprises and some of the friendliest people — just go prepared and you’ll have an unforgettable trip.
