Best Time to Visit Egypt
Egypt is famous for its vast deserts and sandy dunes, which means a hot climate will be a constant companion as you spend 1 week in Egypt.
But, to make your 7 day tour of Egypt more comfortable, prefer planning a 7 Day Egypt itinerary in the cooler winter months between October to February when the temperature is around 26°/ 18°.
Note that this is a peak tourist season so you will have to start earlier for planning a trip to Egypt.
Prefer to explore without standing in queues? Visit in the shoulder months of March, April and September which signal the end of the tourist season. If you choose this season for your Egypt 7 day itinerary, you will be greeted by weather which is still not too hot ; the temperature in March & April is around 24 -28° C / 14°-18° C so you won’t melt in the sun.
September is a little hotter for spending a week in Egypt with temperatures around 33°/ 21°, but at least you will beat the crowds while you are at it.
Visiting Egypt as a solo traveller & safety tips
Egypt is a wonderland of ancient monuments and civilizations and can be definitely visited by solo travellers. But it is necessary for you to take some precautions.
There are scams galore in Egyptian cities and if you hear something too good to be true, steer clear.
Taxi drivers will deliberately overcharge you, so make sure you are aware of the estimated tariffs of where you want to visit or take a ride-hailing app such as Uber or Careem.
Or better yet, join a tour group so that all facilities are arranged.
Egypt is a traditional Muslim country and so, it is advisable to dress modestly and ensure that you cover your shoulders and legs.
Shorts are a big no-no! And even though it is not mandatory, it is advisable for women to wear scarves, at least while visiting mosques.
It’s also the sad truth of our times that women solo travellers will have to take extra precautions. Avoid walking alone at night or making eye contact and talking to strangers.
Lastly, since you are a guest in Egypt, it’s important to show respect for the local culture and customs. Learn a few basic Arabic phrases, such as “hello” and “thank you,” and be polite and courteous to locals.
Approximate cost for a one week trip to Egypt
The cost of a one-week trip to Egypt can vary depending on several factors, such as your travel style, accommodation preferences, and activities.
Excluding your flight tickets, visa fees, travel insurance etc. one-week trip to Egypt can cost anywhere from $800 to $2,000 per person, depending on your travel style and preferences.
On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,200 for a round-trip flight ticket, adding up to a total of $3,000 per person for a one-week trip to Egypt.
If you are traveling on a budget and prefer to spend lesser time in Egypt, then refer to this 5 days in Egypt guide.
Internet safety while travelling to Egypt
Access to the internet can prove to be a major headache while exploring Egypt, as the country suffers from harsh censorship and unpredictable internet shutdowns.
Egypt is also prone to numerous internet scams and hacking attacks.
I never once used a public wifi and made sure I was always connected to a vpn when I visited.
However, you can mitigate the impacts of these measures during your one week in Egypt by using VPNs. VPN will also allow you to access websites that you need to, from your country of residence if not accessible in Egypt. If you’re looking for one, SurfShark is a reliable one. Click here for more info.
Many tourists come to Egypt without expecting much and return with so much to remember that spending 7 days in Egypt may feel inadequate.
But, follow this well-planned 7 days Egypt itinerary and make the best of your time in this country of ancient wonders.
