Things to Look Out For
Upper Egypt in summer is no joke
Luxor and Aswan in June through August hit the mid-40s. Heat that genuinely shortens what you can do, with the temples best seen at first light before it becomes unsafe to stand in the open. October to April is the season; Cairo and the Mediterranean coast are more forgiving year-round, but the Nile and the Valley of the Kings demand the cooler months.
Carry small notes for baksheesh
Baksheesh, the small tip for a small service. Oils everything in Egypt: the man who shows you the unmarked tomb, the guard who lets you photograph, the porter. Keep a stack of small notes separate from your wallet. It is not begging; it is the system, and a few pounds smooths the whole day.
A licensed Egyptologist changes everything
The sites are vast and unlabelled, and a trained Egyptologist guide turns a confusing pile of stone into a readable story. Which pharaoh, which dynasty, what the hieroglyphs above your head actually say. Insist on a licensed one, not a hotel fixer; the difference at Karnak or the Valley of the Kings is the difference between seeing and understanding.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
Egypt is a cool-season country. October to April is the window. Warm days, cool nights, and the Upper Egypt temples bearable to walk. The peak runs December to February, comfortable but busiest. May is the shoulder before the heat. June to September is fierce, especially in Luxor and Aswan where the mid-40s make midday sightseeing genuinely risky; Cairo and the Mediterranean coast hold a little cooler. Plan the Nile and Thebes for the winter half of the year.
