  • When to go: Christmas is a popular time to plan to visit Egypt, so be sure to book your trip well in advance. December is the busiest month, so if you can travel earlier or later in the year, you may find it easier to get around and find accommodation.
  • What to pack: Egyptians dress relatively conservatively, so it’s best to pack clothes that cover your shoulders and knees. The desert can be quite hot during the day, so light, loose clothing is ideal during your days such as Siwa and Bahariya Oases tours. And don’t forget your sunscreen!
  • Money matters: Egypt uses the Egyptian pound, which is currently worth about 24 US dollars. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s always good to have some cash on hand for smaller purchases of souvenirs and gifts.
  • Getting around: Cairo, Egypt’s capital city, is very congested and traffic can be chaotic, it will be better to organize your transportation with the traveling agency to enjoy visiting Giza Pyramids, Islamic, and Coptic Cairo, and other attractions in Cairo. If you’re not comfortable driving in these conditions, consider taking a taxi or using public transportation. Once you’re outside of Cairo, though, renting a car is a great way for comfortable movement.

Abu Simbel Sun Festival Tour

Abu Simbel Sun Festival Tour

The Abu Simbel Sun Festival is a bi-annual festival that takes place at the splendid shrine of Ramses II in the south of Egypt. On 2 days of the year, the main part of the shrine is lightened by the sun. For a brief span of time as the sun completely lines up with the generally masked interior, light is shed on the seated figurines of Ramses II (pharaoh), Ra (sun god), and Amun (king of the gods). Only the figurine of Ptah stays in the shadows. This festival has been taking place for more than 3,200 years. Domestic tourists, international travelers, and locals gather before sunrise to see the lighting as the sun rises & cuts through the shadows of the shrine’s inner compartment. To get to the heart of the temple tourists must first stroll through the remarkable entrance with its grandiose façade of colossal figurines. You will arrive at the grand hall enclosed by 2 treasury rooms & through to the Hypostyle Hall with adorned pillars & bas-reliefs embellishing the walls. A second pillared lobby guide to the sanctuary where the 4 sculptures are seated & the crowd stands two people deep from the exterior walls to let the sun get through the interior.
