For the first time visitors to Egypt, an escorted tour with a cruise down the Nile River is the best way. Tours are the best way to see Egypt’s highlights, including major cities and attractions. You’ll also have an experienced guide who speaks English and Arabic, who will keep you entertained and informed. Tours are extremely cost-effective since the price of transportation, hotels, scheduled air, tour directors, and meals usually are built into the price.
Plan your activities before you arrive so that you don’t miss any highlights. Schedule at least three days in Cairo, Egypt’s capital and Africa’s largest city. Start with the Egyptian Museum, which houses more than 120,000 artifacts, including mummies, ancient monuments, pottery, sarcophagi and objects that once belonged to King Tutankhamen, known as King Tut.
In Cairo, you take a taxi or bus to the great pyramid of Giza is the last remaining Seven Wonders of the Ancient Word. Then, you can walk, take a horse and a buggy ride or ride a camel. The Great Sphinx has a nightly sound and light show about 1 1/2 hours.
To see the Step Pyramid, the First Pyramid ever built, you will need to travel to Saqqara by bus or taxi.
Egyptian Cuisine is dominated by heavily spiced Lamb and chicken, often in the form of shish kabobs and served with pita bread and tahini. Many vegetarian options also are staples in everyday cuisine, including falafel, pitas with hummus or babaganoush, chopped tomato salad, chick peas or fava beans and rice. Tea is the drink of the choice for many Egyptians who avoid alcohol for religious reasons. Beer and wine are available to tourists.
Yes, a passport (expiration date is at least 6 months from the date of leaving Egypt) and a Visa are required for United States citizens.
It is a good idea to make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.
