With new boats, itineraries, and the Grand Egyptian Museum now open, Egypt offers exciting travel opportunities. The most popular Nile route is between Luxor and Aswan, featuring major sites like Karnak, Queen Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple, and the Valley of the Kings. Travelers also have the option to sail from Cairo to Upper Egypt, stopping at lesser-known spots like Abydos and Dendera.
Flights to Cairo International Airport connect to Luxor and Aswan, making travel convenient. The pyramids are best viewed if Cairo is part of the itinerary. To reduce the risk of stomach issues while traveling, hygiene practices such as hand sanitizing are advised.
