Reasons to visit

Egypt, the home of one of the greatest wonders of the world – the Pyramids! That’s how we associate the Arab Republic of Egypt. This country is also known for the River Nile, the longest flowing river in the world, and the Sahara Dessert. It also links the Middle East to the African countries. Egypt is also part of one of the oldest, principal civilizations, and has been a center of knowledge and urbanization since the days of the past, and dates back to at least 8000BC. 

Egypt has a diverse topography with sealine, mountain ranges, desert, river, and a narrow fertile valley. Since its an ancient city, Egypt also has enormous tourist spots to explore from the Pharaohs, tombs, dazzling temples, stone relics,  museums, raging nightlife, and beaches.  

Egypt is a good and safe place to travel and tour, as long as you stay within the designated tourist spots and don’t embark on unknown locations and towards country borders. Apart from that, as a tourist location, Egypt has a lot to offer in terms of activities, sightseeing opportunities, and enjoying the rich local culture. 

As the major topography of the country includes Deserts, the climate here is averagely warm. The best time to travel to Egypt is in the months of October to February, when the temperatures are between 11 to 25 Degree C. This is an Arabic-speaking, Islam-following state, therefore you should avoid visiting the country during Ramadan as they only work 6 hours a day.
