Is Egypt safe to visit?

I've visited Egypt a couple of times and has an intense love affair with this country that has bestowed the world with a wealth of mystery and suspense.

Travelling in Egypt is an adventure on its own. I did not backpack in Egypt and possibly wouldn't advise that, in the current political situation. I however don't see any problem with booking a place on an organised tour. The tour operators are up to date with the current situation on the ground in Egypt and they will advise of any risks.

See latest News Feed from Nile International on events in Egypt.
You can also visit my detailed Egypt Travel Advice, where I have links to the United States and United Kingdom Travel alerts, as well as fantastic advice relating to travel in Egypt.

Please see below a small subset of photos of my last trip. Enjoy.

My last trip to Egypt started in Cairo and included a train trip down to southern Egypt from where we took a Nile cruiser up north again from Aswan to Luxor. We visited all the famous sites, including the pyramids up north at Giza and the Valley of the Kings in the south at Luxor.

Busabout, the best way to see Europe as an Independent Traveler.

Image Copyright Busabout I will be posting more updates and stories about the merits of using the Busabout service to see Europe. It is an absolutely great recipe to see Europe at your own pace. There is no age restriction and the service is top-notch. I've made use of this service and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a good selection of Hostels used by Busabout , but you are free to book your own accommodation. You just need to ensure that you are at the pick up points in time for the bus on the day of your departure. Busabout is owned by the same operator that owns Trafalgar Tours and Contiki Tours .
