Egypt safari tours and packages

Egypt safari tours and packages. Egypt, home of pharaohs, pyramids, and other old wonders, invites travelers from all over the world to witness its timeless tour packages. There are many things that tourists can do on an Egypt safari tour, but going on safari near the famous Egyptian pyramids stands out as a trip through history and grandeur. Egypt is across the Euphrates River from northeast Africa to the Middle East. Its history goes back to the time of the pharaohs. Along the fertile Nile River Valley are structures that are thousands of years old. These include the Great Sphinx and the Pyramids at Giza, as well as the Karnak Temple and tombs in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.

In Cairo, the city, you can see Ottoman landmarks like the Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian Museum, which is full of old things. Cairo is the culture center of Egypt. It is a cosmopolitan capital city where old churches, mosques, museums, and high-end hotels and restaurants can be found side by side.

Bringing Egypt's Beauty to Light

While on an Egypt safari tour you will be able to see the golden sun rising over the desert sky, the shape of the ancient pyramids, which are shrouded in mystery. You will start you Egypt safari tour with awe and respect as you walk through the sands of time to learn about Egypt's long and interesting history.


The Great Pyramids of Giza

You will never allow to finish your Egypt safari tour without seeing the Pyramids of Giza, which are works of art that will never go out of style. The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the mysterious Sphinx, and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure all stand tall in the desert. They are examples of how skilled ancient engineers were and how beautiful their culture was. Going into the maze-like rooms and climbing to the top give you a glimpse of how clever and impressive the ancient Egyptians were.


Lesser-Known Egyptian Pyramids

Giza is amazing because of how big it is, but there are other Egyptian pyramids that are still to be found. From the deserts of Saqqara to the peaceful plains of Dahshur, each pyramid tells a different story of pharaonic glory and historical mystery. When you visit these less well-known sites on your Egypt safari tour, you'll find a tapestry of history, with each stone speaking volumes about Egypt's lasting impact.


Egyptian safari adventures in the Desert

An Egyptian safari will take you to the country’s deserts, which are full of life and excitement, even beyond the ancient sites. You will go on a desert tour and ride camel caravans across the shifting sands. Experienced Bedouin nomads will lead you and tell you stories about life in the desert. The vast Sahara opens up in front of you, showing hidden oasis, nomadic settlements, and ethereal landscapes that make us feel like we're in another time and space.


Cultural encounters and delicious foods during your Egyptian safari

As you travel deeper during your Egyptian safari tour, you go deeper into Egypt's central region, and encounter lively souks that are always busy with people buying and selling goods. These are where skilled artists make intricate treasures and the smell of spices fills the air, tempting our senses. Traditional Egyptian food, like fragrant kebabs and sweet baklava, is a tantalizing way to learn about the country's rich culinary history.


Need a passport, visa, or permission to enter Egypt

To engage in an Egypt safari tour you must have a passport that is good for at least 6 months from the date of the visa.

For 25 USD, citizens can get a 30-day vacation visa that can be renewed once and is good for one entry into Egypt at any airport. There is also a visa that lets you enter multiple times for 60 USD.


Egypt's health care system

Egypt's health care system is very diverse, with a lot of different state and private providers and people who pay for care. Egypt's health care is currently run, paid for, and given by groups in all three economic sectors: public, semi-public, and private. But this doesn't cover people from other countries, so make sure you have travel and medical insurance before you go to Egypt.


Shots against malaria and yellow fever

Tourists who don't have proof that they've been vaccinated will be held in a quarantine area for up to 6 days. This country requires people to get vaccinated against Yellow Fever because the main mosquito that spreads the disease, Aedes aegypti, is prevalent here. Egypt got rid of malaria, and the last case of it being spread locally was in 1998.


Money used in Egypt

In Egypt, the Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the legal currency. One Euro is equal to about 8.5 EGP, and one US dollar is equal to about 5.8 EGP. You can swap foreign currency, traveler's checks, and Euro checks at all major banks and at the airport when you arrive. Hotels, bars, shops, and other places will take major credit cards.


The official language of Egypt

Arab is the official language of Egypt, and most Egyptians speak one of several informal forms of that language. The spoken language is very different from the written language, just like in other Arab countries.


When is the best time to go on a safari in Egypt?

Between October and April is the best time to visit Egypt because the weather is cooler but still nice and warm all over the country. This makes it easier and more fun to walk around Cairo's busy streets, see the Egyptian Pyramids in the desert, and look into old Pharaonic tombs.


Things to wear for your safari in Egypt

Don't wear shorts, clothes that are too tight, or clothes that show too much skin (especially cleavage). T-shirts with short sleeves are fine. Plus-size pants are also fine, and a lot of Egyptian women wear them.


Things you should bring with you on your safari in Egypt

Egypt is very hot, so be careful about what you bring with you when you go there.

• Wear shorts or short dresses that cover the knee, if possible.

• Two or three T-shirts.

• At least one dress, shirt, or other top that looks nice.

• One set of long pants.

• A veil or blanket (only for women; you can get one at most gift shops)

• Pool or swimming suit.


How to rent a car and drive during your safari in Egypt

The big companies don't let people take their cars outside of Egypt. Travelers on an Egyptian safari may have to drive in a security convoy that goes several times a day in some places outside of Cairo and the main cities. Dav Safaris recommends that you should not drive yourself in Egypt.


Places to stay in Egypt

Cairo is near the Nile River and has been inhabited for a very long time. Around the year 400, the Romans built a fortress town on the banks of the river Babylon. The area was taken over by Muslims in 641, and the center was moved from Alexandria to Cairo, which was a new city that was on the rise. There are many places to stay, but if you're going somewhere outside of Cairo, you need to make a reservation ahead of time.


Egypt's country food

Egyptian food includes molokhiya, which is chopped and cooked bush okra with garlic and coriander sauce, feteer meshaltet, which is a mixture of lentils, rice, pasta, and other things, and full medames, which is mashed fava beans.


How to Leave a Tippee in Egypt

Anyone on an Egyptian safari is likely to hear the word "baksheesh," which can mean either a tip or a bribe. Tipping is a normal part of life there. Anyone who has helped you will probably ask for a tip. This includes usual people like waiters and drivers as well as less common people like security guards at some tourist spots. Restaurant staff should get 10% of the bill as a tip (as long as there isn't already a service charge added; this goes to the restaurant, not the waiter). Hotel housekeepers should get about USD $5 per day, taxi drivers should get about USD $5, and cruise staff should get $20 per day to be split among the crew. When you hand over your baksheesh, fold the bills in your hands and shake hands with the person.


Egypt's safety

If you compare Egypt to many Western countries, the amount of violence and nonviolent crime is very low. Tis implies that an Egypt safari tour is relatively safer here. You can walk around safely day or night. Small crimes have become more common since 2011, but tourists still don't get involved with them very often and can easily avoid them.
