For anyone interested in visiting Egypt, know
that the best time to come is from October to
May. Though this is when most travelers arrive,
the temperatures are much more palpable for those
unaccustomed to the heat. Within these 8 months,
there are 2 periods known as High Season (the
Christmas / New Year period and the Easter
Period) when hotels and cruises hike their
prices, though you will find that special events
like Gala Dinners are also available for
customers.

The other 4 months, May to October, are the
Egyptian summer, and the temperatures can often
be sweltering, especially in Upper Egypt (Luxor
and the southern parts of the country). However,
this is when you can see Egypt in virtual peace
and quiet without the hassle of school children,
or from the crowds of tourists. Just imagine the
peace and quiet at the various sites, allowing
you to take photographs without strangers
obscuring the view!

Some Cairo will fill up with many Arab
visitors in the summer, who are taking advantage
of the slightly cooler conditions here compared
to their own countries, and early reservations
are very rarely required in fact, many discounts
are often on offer, to entice those who are
willing to brave the heat.

The Egyptian springtime is another good time to
visit. The weather is fairly moderate at this
time of year, but you are advised to try to avoid
the The Khamsin wind season that runs between
March and April. It does only last for a few
days, which can easily be coped with. The Khamsin
wind is a warm wind that blows in from the
desert, carrying sand and dust it really is
quite an adventure, for those who wish to
discover it. hotels

Many travelers avoid traveling to Egypt during
Ramadan, mainly because they feel that alcohol
and food are not available, but this is not
always true. Though Egypt is primarily a Muslim
country, the people recognize that the majority
of their visitors do not follow Islam and so,
whilst alcohol is not freely available during the
day, most of the restaurants and cafes are still
open. To be honest, the only thing that is really
different during the Holy month is that the sites
close two hours earlier than normal, which is
done to allow the people that work there enough
time to get home in time for the sun to set

when they can break their fast. It can also be
noticed that the local people are generally slow
during the daytime, but this changes after sunset
when they become very active after their fast is
broken. Ramadan is a month-long festival in
Egypt all through the night, coffee shops remain
open and are often overfilled with people who
stay up until the early morning hours. This is
one time of year when Cairo, as well as the rest
of the Muslim world, never sleeps the time when
all of the people go out to have some fun.

The end of Ramadan is called Eid Al Fitr, or
the Festival of Breaking the Fast, and is a day
which cannot be missed. It is a holiday, though
touristic sites still remain open, and it is a
very festive and joyous one. In the morning
Muslims will wear their best clothes and perfumes
to attend a special congregation at their local
Mosque (masjid). After the completion of these
special prayers, as well as a special sermon,
they will rise, hug each other, and exclaim Eid
Mubarak which means holiday blessings it is a
phrase will be heard many times during this day

This is a day when families will travel miles to
visit one another and have special meals
together, and some of these meals have treats
which are not savored at any other time of the
year. The houses and streets are lit with a huge
variety of lamps, lights, and other types of
ornamentation, with the children being given
sweets, money, or gifts as a reward. If you ever
get invited to one of these special parties, it
is an experience you will never forget.

When traveling through Egypt, you should avoid
certain areas, particularly sites located in the
center of the Nile Valley! About 20 years ago,
there were rising tensions at these sites
Islamic fundamentalists had targeted tourists in
order to destroy the tourist industry and the
economy. This was part of a larger plan to bring
down the government, seize power themselves, and
install the political ideas of their own vision,
a vision which no more resembles the rules of the
Quran than the Inquisition resembled the
Christianity of Christ.
