The ancient culture of Egypt spread throughout the Nile river has captivated and staggered travelers for centuries. From the dusty barren desert of the Sahara to the sand-covered tombs of lost civilizations, Egypt never fails to bring out the adventurer in all of us.

Witness personally the ruins of the pinnacle of human achievements, learn the history of ancient Pharaohs and Egypt and let’s not forget about one of the wonders of the world: The Pyramids of Giza. Now, tell us why wouldn’t you want to visit Egypt?

Best Time to Visit the Land of Pharaohs

The weather in Egypt is quite pleasant between the months of October till April and is usually considered to be the best time to visit the country. But in our opinion, the over-flooding crowd and the hike in prices might ruin the experience for you. Therefore, we recommend shoulder seasons like June and September, when you can experience the best of both worlds: decent weather, fewer people, and reasonable prices.
