Egypt travel guide

Egypt spans northeast Africa and the Sinai Peninsula. A stay in Cairo and time elsewhere in the country need separate decisions about location and transport.

Choosing your base in Egypt

Build your accommodation plan around the visits you have chosen. In a large urban area, check the route to the places on your itinerary before paying for a location described broadly as central.

Before choosing a room

If a room advertises a landmark or river view, confirm that the view belongs to that room category.

Compare the exact room category, including bed layout, cancellation terms and the full stay total. Hotel photographs may show several categories. If a detail matters to you, look for it in the room description or ask the property.

Where guest evidence is available, use it to investigate specific questions about the stay. Read the supporting comments and their dates. A neighbourhood description cannot establish how quiet an individual room will be.

Our stay advice is editorial guidance. Room facilities, transport services and hotel offers can change. Confirm the details for your trip before booking.
