EGYPT TRAVEL TIPS
For some reason I haven’t heard of many people visiting Egypt on their own, without going for beach holidays. I knew one person who did Egypt travel independently and enjoyed it but that wasn’t enough for me to be confident enough.

I put together a list of Egypt travel tips that hopefully will be useful for you when you plan your own Egypt trip.

In the seaside resorts you will be more lucky with warm (25C and above) weather, it should be good from late autumn to early spring.
Summer time is insanely hot everywhere and I’d generally avoid travelling in Egypt at t[……]
