Best time to visit
Egypt shines October through April, when temperatures are comfortable (Cairo sits around 20–25°C during the day). November–December is the sweet spot: not too scorching yet, and peak tourist season hasn't kicked in. Skip May–September if you can't handle extreme heat (it can exceed 40°C). Travelling during your European winter, Egypt's quieter season, often brings lower flight fares too.
What to do when you arrive
Cairo is your gateway to the essentials: the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum with Tutankhamun's tomb. Cairo International Airport (CAI) is 25 km from the centre; grab a taxi, ride-share or airport bus. The city rewards a slow pace: one day for the pyramids and Giza, another for the museum and a Nile sunset, then explore Khan el-Khalili bazaar. With extra time, take a day trip to Saqqara or Memphis.
