How to pace an Egypt itinerary and choose activities that keep the whole family engaged. Drawing on years of designing itineraries across Egypt, our team has put together the practical detail travelers actually need before booking.

Dress codes in Egypt are more relaxed in resort areas like Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh than in Cairo or at religious sites, where modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is expected of all visitors regardless of gender.

Egypt's tourist police maintain a visible presence at major sites, train stations, and hotels, and are generally helpful with directions, minor disputes, or reporting concerns during a trip.

Staying hydrated is more important in Egypt than in most destinations, given the dry desert climate; bottled or filtered water is recommended over tap water throughout the country.

Egypt Rest Tours designs private, expert-guided itineraries built around exactly this kind of Egypt travel planning — reach out to our travel consultants to start planning your trip.
