About this topic

What you will find here

These are the guides our Egyptologists and trip consultants write between departures: Cairo and Giza, Luxor and Aswan, Alexandria, Siwa and the Red Sea. Each one walks through the sites worth your time, what there is to see inside, and how much of a day to give it.

They are written from the ground — the same people who run our tours — so you can read a guide, then open the tour that covers it and see the price, the route and what is included.

Reading about Egypt before you go

A good guide saves you the two things travellers lose most in Egypt: time and certainty. Our destination guides cover the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor’s East and West Banks, Aswan and Abu Simbel, Alexandria, the Red Sea and the oases — with the practical detail that decides an itinerary, such as how long a site takes and what it sits next to.

Every guide is written by the team that operates the tours, and each one links to the tour that includes the places it describes, so you can go from reading to a private itinerary in one step.
