Plan your visit
The practical things travellers ask us most. Your trip designer covers the rest before you fly.
What to wear
Churches, monasteries and mosques ask for covered shoulders and knees. A light scarf does both jobs and helps in the sun.
When to go
October to April is the comfortable season. In summer, Luxor and Aswan are very hot, so we start early and rest at midday.
Arriving
We meet you as you land, or at the Taba border for Sinai trips, and walk you through visa and customs.
Pace
Early starts are flagged ahead of time. Tell us where you’d rather slow down and we’ll rebalance the days.

Change the dates, add a day in Sinai, swap the cruise for a dahabiya. We’ll send back a revised day-by-day plan.
