The clothing standard in Egypt for ladies is viewed as a traditionalist by western gauges and it is aware to comply with this code. For men it isn't generally an issue - typical pants and shirt or T-shirt are fine - however, in Cairo, it would not be satisfactory to wear short shorts or tank tops/sleeveless tops.

National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is found in Fustat, the primary Cairo after the Arab Islamic conquest, so it had been a logical choice for the museum site, because the area is found at the crossroads of Egyptian history, and it includes many Coptic churches and monasteries, the Coptic Museum, the Ibn Ezra Temple, and therefore the first mosque in Egypt, the Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque. The Citadel of Saladin also can be seen from the museum's outdoor spaces, designed to stress the unique location overlooking Lake Ain El-Sira, the last natural lake in Cairo.

Christmas comes in December, which is considered one of the mildest seasons in Egypt. However, there is no objection to bringing a jacket or shawl, due to the possibility of being cold at night. Check out our Egypt Christmas tours for this year and select yours.

The rules change and differ from one temple or museum to another. There are temples in which photography is allowed, but without flash, and there are temples and museums that prevent photography at all. It would be better to ask your guide during your tour packages in Egypt so as not to harm its ancient Egyptian monuments.

Cairo is the main destination in Egypt that is full of unique tourist attractions, and it also has transportation to all governorates of Egypt. If you want to travel somewhere near Cairo, then the day tours in Alexandria and Fayoum should be your destination. Whereas if you are considering Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, or Sharm El Sheikh excursions, it will take time. You can travel by train or flight to save time.

Each of them has a different beautiful experience, the Egypt Nile Cruises in Cairo is limited to having dinner, and sailing for about two hours while performing Egyptian traditional and folkloric performances such as Tanoura and belly dance shows. While on Luxor and Aswan day tours the Nile cruise is like your hotel, you sleep and wake up to a breathtaking view of the Nile and sunrise to get ready for your stopover for the temples in Aswan or Luxor.

There are many activities that you can enjoy during Easter, such as visiting the most important landmarks in Cairo and Alexandria, such as the Great Giza Pyramids, and experiencing distinctive Egypt Nile Cruise Tours. If you are a fan of history, I advise you to go to the Valley of the Kings and Queens, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple.
