Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Egypt? 

  • October to April (Peak Season): Ideal pleasant weather across Cairo, the Nile Valley, and the desert. Mild temperatures make exploring outdoor temple complexes and tombs comfortable.
  • May & September (Shoulder Season): Warmer days with fewer crowds, ideal for combining Nile historic touring with Red Sea coastal retreats.
  • June to August (Summer): High temperatures in Upper Egypt (Luxor and Aswan). Recommended for coastal Red Sea stays or early-morning private temple touring.

How many days should I plan for an Egypt vacation?

A standard highlights journey covering Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan requires 7 to 9 days. Adding Abu Simbel, a Red Sea beach extension, or Siwa Oasis extends the itinerary to 12–14 days.

What should I know about logistics and internal transit? 

International flights arrive at Cairo International Airport (CAI). Travel between Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea is handled smoothly via short domestic flights, private vehicle transfers, or luxury river vessels.

What is included in an all-inclusive luxury safari with Selara Africa?

Our comprehensive journeys cover everything from the time a guest arrives to the time they leave. Accommodations include gourmet dining, beverages, and dedicated hospitality. All in-country ground and air logistics, including airport meet-and-greets, internal flights and transfers, signature experiences and tours, are fully managed from arrival to final departure.  

How does Selara Africa assist travel advisors throughout the booking process?

We act as an extension of your office. Once a client books, we manage the entire backend: custom itinerary adjustments, preferences, internal flight scheduling, pre-departure packing and visa guidance, white-label and co-branded documentation, and real-time ground tracking until the client completes their journey.

Can Egypt be easily combined with a safari in East Africa?

Yes. Direct regional flights also connect Cairo to Nairobi (Kenya) and Entebbe (Uganda), making multi-country combinations pairing pharaonic history with an East African wildlife safari effortless.

What entry visa requirements apply to travelers visiting Egypt?

US passport holders require a tourist visa for entry to Egypt. Passports must be valid for at least 30 days beyond the intended date of departure and contain a minimum of two consecutive blank visa pages.
