The currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP). ATMs are plentiful and major cards are accepted by hotels and larger restaurants. Good for tips and markets. Small USD or EUR notes.
Local customs require proper greetings and modest dress at religious sites. You can usually take pictures of outdoor sights, but some museums or catacombs won’t allow photos inside. Follow your guide’s lead.
Private tours are well-structured and offer a high degree of safety. Stick with your group in busy areas, keep your valuables secure and use official taxis or your tour vehicle after dark.
Best time to visit: October-April for mild temperatures (15-25°C) ideal for sightseeing. Summer (June–August) is warm, but still pleasant, with Mediterranean breezes; spring and autumn are the best combination of weather and fewer crowds.
