The best places to visit in Egypt

Most visitors start on the Red Sea — Hurghada for value and variety, Sharm El Sheikh and Marsa Alam for world-class diving, and Dahab for a slower, laid-back pace. All four are ideal bases for sea trips, diving and desert safaris.

For history, the Nile Valley is unmissable: Cairo for the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor for the Valley of the Kings, and Aswan for Abu Simbel and a felucca on the Nile. Further west, Bahariya and Siwa open up the White Desert and remote oasis calm.

Travel tips

  1. Book island trips a few days ahead in high season.
  2. Most hotels are 10–40 min from the marina — pickup is included.
  3. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a light cover-up for the boat.
Best time to visit

Pleasant all year; spring and autumn give warm seas without peak-summer heat. Winter is mild and great for diving.
