Egypt questions
Is 4 days enough for Cairo?
Four days covers the main sites if you move efficiently between Giza and central Cairo. Book the Sound and Light Show tickets online the day before to secure evening slots.
Do I need to book the Egyptian Museum ahead?
Yes, buy timed entry tickets online to avoid long lines at the Egyptian Museum. Allow two hours for the main collections and note that photography permits cost extra at the ticket desk.
How do I get from the Pyramids to Khan el-Khalili?
Take an Uber or registered taxi for the 45-minute ride during daytime hours. Avoid public buses as they do not run direct routes between Giza and the bazaar area.
Do I need tickets for the Citadel of Saladin?
Purchase Citadel entry tickets on site or through the official tourism site in advance. Combine the visit with nearby Al-Azhar Mosque on the same morning to reduce travel time across the city.
Is 3 days enough for Luxor?
Three days covers the main east and west bank sites without rushing. Hire a driver for west bank days to move between locations efficiently.
Do I need to book Valley of the Kings tickets in advance?
Buy tickets online before arrival to choose specific tombs and avoid morning lines. Each ticket allows entry to three tombs with a 300 EGP additional fee for Tutankhamun.
