The Nile

The river that fed a civilization still sets the rhythm of daily life, best seen from the water at dusk.

The Red Sea

Some of the clearest water and richest coral reefs in the world, from easy snorkelling to world-class diving.

Desert and Bedouin culture

Granite mountains, colored canyons and evenings of tea and music in a Bedouin tent.

When to go

October to April

Mild days and the most comfortable time for sightseeing. Nights on Mount Sinai can drop near freezing in mid-winter.

May to September

Hot, with Cairo reaching 40°C. Great for the Red Sea; we start sightseeing early to avoid the midday heat.

Ramadan and holidays

Opening hours can change. We plan around them so nothing is missed.

Why travel with Grace Time Travel

Before you go

Do I need a visa for Egypt?

Most travellers do. Many nationalities can get an e-visa online or a visa on arrival at Cairo airport. Rules change, so we confirm what applies to your passport when you book.

What should I wear?

Light, breathable clothes and comfortable walking shoes. Cover shoulders and knees for churches, mosques and monasteries, and bring a warm layer for desert nights and Mount Sinai.

Can I drink the tap water?

We recommend bottled or filtered water, and avoiding ice from unknown sources.

Is tipping expected?

Yes, tipping guides, drivers and restaurant staff is customary in Egypt. We give you a simple guide before you travel.

How fit do I need to be to climb Mount Sinai?

The climb takes about three hours each way on a steady path, with steep steps near the top. Camels can carry you part of the way.
