Planning an Egypt trip is hard without doing your homework and reading about this large country. We are here to help you plan a perfect trip to the land of the oldest civilization, and we have simplified the process into a few steps, so after reading this post, it should be easy to travel Egypt the way you want.


Egypt’s Must-see Attractions

This is the conclusion: The Tourist cities of Egypt are, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria, Hurghada, and Sharm El-Shaikh. You should visit the below must-see iconic attractions of Egypt:


1- Get to know the Egyptian Tourist Cities and places of interest.

The very first step when planning Egypt Trip is that you need to know what cities you should visit in Egypt, as this large country is not just about the capital city, there is much to see in other large cities. The cities and spots you should consider while planning your Egypt Trip:

  • Cairo
  • Luxor
  • Aswan

  • The Western desert oases such as Bahariya oasis, El-Fayoum oasis, Siwa oasis, El-Farafra oasis, Dakhla & Kharga oasis (for desert, camping, & hiking lovers)
  • The Red sea cities such as Sharm El-Shaikh & Hurghada

2- Knowing the must-see attractions of each city in Egypt.

In every Egyptian city, there are many places to see and things to do which can take ages if you want to experience them all, that is why it is always a good idea to know and do the must-sees only at least in your first trip to Egypt, and when you come back which is sure, you can see and do more of what this great country has to offer. Below is a list of the must-sees of every tourist city in Egypt:

3- Choose What suits your preferences

In one single trip, you can not take in all the above-listed attractions. However, it is important to know what’s in there so you can decide what to pick according to your preferences. Typically, Egypt travelers do the classical path from Cairo, along the Nile River all the way up to Abu Simbel in the south and then fly back to Cairo either to leave the country from Cairo airport or tag a day or two in Alexandria before departure. And also, some travelers love to spend a couple of days by the Red Sea shores and beaches, and some other travelers prefer to book the entire trip by the Red Sea and travel overland from there to all the surrounding attractions and cities.

Adventure buffs most likely will choose to spend more time exploring the desert sightseeing and enjoying water activities by the Red Sea shores and beaches.


4- Know The Best Order of Domestic Travel

After deciding on which attractions/things to do you are interested in, the next step is to know how to start and where to go first.

Discover Egypt Famed Pyramids first in Cairo

On your first day of tours in Egypt, you should go to the Cairo Pyramids first, followed by the Saqqara Pyramids and the Memphis Museum.

Board Nile Cruise to Explore the sites of Luxor and Aswan

Typically, after Cairo, people take the sleeper train or fly to Aswan to start a Nile cruise experience to explore Luxor and Aswan attractions like Karnak temple, Luxor temple, Kings Valley, Hatshepsut’s temple, & Memnon colossi. In Aswan, explore Philae, the Temple of Love, the Unfinished Obelisk, the High Dam, and Abu Simbel temples. After 3 or 4 nights on the cruise, fly back from Luxor to Cairo.

More of Cairo sightseeing

Visit the Egyptian Antiquities Museum, Islamic and Coptic Cairo, and the tourist bazaar at Khan El-Khalili.

Tag a day in Alexandria to see what the city has to offer.

All the must-sees of Alexandria we mentioned earlier in the post can be seen in one single day.


5- How much does a trip to Egypt cost?

The average cost of the tour package is from $100 to $200 per day per person, depending on the number of participants, accommodation category level, service, transportation, etc.
