Egypt Travel Guide

This Egypt travel guide covers the six places most journeys are built around, with what each one actually holds and how much time it deserves. Begin with the Cairo Egypt travel guide for the Giza plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then move south to Luxor's royal tombs and temple complexes and Aswan, where the Nile narrows between granite islands.

On the coast, Alexandria keeps its Greco-Roman layers and Hurghada opens onto the Red Sea reefs, while Siwa lies far west in the Western Desert, Berber-speaking and still largely its own world. Together they work as an ancient Egypt travel guide and a practical travel guide in Egypt: temples and tombs on one side, seasons, transport and realistic pacing on the other.
