A trip to Egypt is a journey through living history and timeless landscapes. From the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids and the treasures of Cairo to the temples of Luxor and the serene beauty of Aswan, every stop tells a story thousands of years old.
Yet beyond these icons lies another side of Egypt: the surreal White Desert, mystical Siwa Oasis, and laid-back Dahab on the Red Sea.
With Rough Guides’ tailor-made travel in Egypt, exploring this remarkable country becomes effortless, crafted entirely around your interests by trusted local experts.
A typical Egypt itinerary might begin in Cairo, where ancient wonders meet modern city life. Travelers often visit the Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum before heading south to Luxor for its monumental temples and tombs. Aswan offers a slower pace on the Nile, perfect for sailing on a felucca or visiting Philae Temple.
For something more remote, explore Siwa Oasis, the otherworldly White Desert, or the coral reefs of Dahab. Every journey can balance ancient heritage with adventure and local life.
