FAQ — Tourism in Egypt

Yes. Egypt is one of Seen's three curated destinations, alongside Turkey and Thailand, and we arrange trips there for travelers from around the world. Our programs cover Cairo and Giza for the Pyramids and museums, Luxor and Aswan for the Nile temples and cruises, Alexandria on the Mediterranean, and the Red Sea resorts of Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh. Every trip is built to order and priced in US dollars.

The classics start at Giza, where the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx sit on the desert edge of Cairo, right next to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which opened fully in November 2025 and holds Tutankhamun's complete treasure. In Cairo you can also see the original Egyptian Museum and the medieval Khan el-Khalili bazaar. South along the Nile lie Karnak and the Valley of the Kings at Luxor, and the Philae temple and Abu Simbel near Aswan. On the Red Sea, Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh offer world-class diving and snorkeling. We tailor the mix to your interests.

October to April is the prime season, with comfortable temperatures for sightseeing across the whole country, and November is often the single best month. For the temples of Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel, November to February is ideal, when Upper Egypt is pleasantly warm rather than scorching. The Red Sea resorts work all year: spring and autumn balance warm water with bearable land heat, while summer is hottest inland but excellent for diving.

Most visitors need a visa, and the rules depend on your nationality. Many travelers can apply for an Egypt e-Visa online before the trip or get a visa on arrival at the main airports, and some GCC nationals have simplified entry. Because the rules vary by passport and change over time, check the requirements for your nationality and use only the official Egyptian portal, visa2egypt.gov.eg. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date. Seen is a travel agency and does not issue visas, but we are glad to advise as you plan.

Yes. We arrange private airport transfers at Cairo, Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, Luxor and Aswan, and transfers between cities and sights, so you are met on arrival and never left to find your own way. Our Egypt programs are served by Arabic-speaking guides, which makes the pharaonic sites easy to follow and the whole trip comfortable for Arab and Gulf travelers in particular.

Yes. Egypt is one of our three curated destinations with Turkey and Thailand, and many travelers combine two of them in a single trip, for example a few days at the Pyramids and on the Nile followed by Istanbul, or Egypt paired with a beach stay in Phuket. Tell us which countries and how long you have, and we build one connected program and a combined quote.

Send a WhatsApp message to +90 506 530 6881 with the destination (Egypt, or Egypt combined with Turkey or Thailand), your travel dates, the number of travelers and roughly what you would like to see.
