Important information about your destination
Uses and customs
Egyptians are known for their great hospitality. It's common to be welcomed with tea or coffee, and it's polite to accept this offer. Egyptians love to chat and share stories, so don't hesitate to strike up a conversation.
Tips: "baksheesh"! A word you'll learn soon enough! While it's easy to refuse solicitors, on the other hand, it is customary to reward work and services well done. Gratuity for guides is never included. It's up to each individual to decide.
In souks and markets, haggling is a common practice. It's part of the experience and can be fun, but it's important to remain respectful and friendly during this interaction.
Egypt is predominantly Muslim. Visitors must respect places of worship, by removing their shoes before entering a mosque and avoiding taking photos where prohibited.
Time difference
The time difference between France and Egypt is generally an hour. When France is on winter time (from the end of October to the end of March), Egypt is on UTC+2, which means that there is an hour difference – so for example, if it's noon in France, it's 1pm in Egypt.
Electricity and internet access
Electricity in Egypt is mainly 220 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz. Type of plugs: The plugs used are generally type C (with two round pins) and type F (with two round pins and clips).
Adapters: If your appliances use type A or B (American) plugs, we recommend you bring an adapter with you.
Internet access in Egypt is generally good, especially in major cities and tourist areas. Here are a few points to consider:
Wi-Fi: Many hotels, restaurants and cafés offer free Wi-Fi. However, quality and speed may vary.
Mobile data: Mobile data packages are readily available and affordable. Major telecommunications companies (such as Vodafone, Orange and Etisalat) offer prepaid SIM cards for visitors.
Buying a SIM card: You can buy a SIM card at the airport or in the stores of telephone operators. Don't forget to bring your passport to register.
Packages: Tourist packages are often available, offering data at competitive prices.
Censorship: Some applications and sites may be restricted or subject to censorship, notably social networks and news sites. That said, most messaging services (such as WhatsApp and Messenger) function normally.
Public networks: Be careful when using public Wi-Fi networks. Avoid accessing sensitive information, such as bank details.
Safety
Safety in Egypt is an important topic for travelers to consider. In recent years, Egypt has taken significant steps to improve security, particularly in tourist areas.
Some regions, notably North Sinai and parts of the Nile Valley, may be riskier. We advise you to keep abreast of your government's travel advice.
Keep a photocopy of your passport and other important documents separate from the original.
Use reliable means of transport, such as registered cabs or transport apps, especially at night.
In general, with the right precautions and preparation, most travellers feel safe and enjoy their stay in Egypt.
Currency
The currency in Egypt is the Egyptian pound, abbreviated to EGP.
You'll find exchange offices in airports, hotels and major cities. It's often better to change money at a currency exchange than at a bank, to get the best rates.
US dollars and euros are sometimes accepted in tourist areas, but you should use Egyptian pounds for most transactions.
Credit cards (such as Visa and Mastercard) are accepted in many hotels, restaurants and stores, but you should carry cash for small purchases or in less touristy areas.
ATMs are widely available in major cities. Be sure to check that your card is compatible with the cash withdrawal systems in Egypt.
Climate
Egypt's climate is predominantly desert, with hot, dry summers and mild winters.
Summer (June to September): Temperatures can reach 40°C and more, especially in the south of the country (such as Luxor and Aswan). Nights can be cooler, but are often still warm. Conditions: The air is generally very dry, and sandstorms can occur.
Autumn (October to November): Temperatures start to drop, ranging from 25°C to 35°C during the day. Nights become cooler. Conditions: This is a pleasant time to visit, with less intense heat.
Winter (December to February): Daytime temperatures fluctuate between 15°C and 25°C, while nights can be cool, especially in the desert.
Spring (March to May): Temperatures rise, often reaching 30°C or more in May. This spring can be marked by sandy winds, particularly in March and April.
Specific regions – Mediterranean coast: Temperatures are more moderate, with hot summers and mild winters. Desert: Temperature variations between day and night can be significant.
Languages
Egypt's official language is Arabic, or more precisely Egyptian Arabic, which is the dialect form widely spoken in the country. Generally, travellers can get by in English in the major cities and tourist sites, but knowing a few words of Arabic can enrich your experience.
Accommodation quality
The quality of accommodation in Egypt varies considerably depending on the category of establishment, its location and its level of service.
5-star hotels in Egypt, particularly in major cities such as Cairo, Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada and Luxor, offer a consistently high level of service. These establishments are often well-maintained, equipped with modern facilities, and staffed by highly trained professionals. Guests can expect a wide range of amenities, including spas, swimming pools, gourmet restaurants and luxurious rooms.
Mid-range hotels in Egypt are generally comfortable, with basic facilities such as air conditioning, swimming pools and restaurants. However, the quality of service can be more variable than in luxury hotels. Some older hotels may have seen better days, and service standards may not match those of 5-star hotels. Nevertheless, many 3- and 4-star hotels remain a reliable choice for travellers seeking good value for money.
The quality of accommodation in Egypt can vary greatly. Luxury hotels offer a high-end experience with refined services, while more affordable options may not be as consistent in terms of comfort and cleanliness.
Food quality
The quality of food in Egypt is generally good, and Egyptian cuisine is rich, varied and tasty.
We recommend drinking bottled water to avoid digestive problems. Avoid ice in drinks if you don't know where it comes from. Wash fruits and vegetables well if you eat them raw, or choose cooked ones.
