Egypt

Egypt Tour Packages from UAE

Egypt is the kind of destination you can visit more than once and have a completely different experience each time. One trip might be filled with ancient temples and the Pyramids of Giza, another with Red Sea beaches and diving, while a third is all about Mediterranean cafés and historic streets in Alexandria. Our Egypt tour packages are designed around the holiday you have in mind, whether you're traveling for culture, relaxation, or a little of both.Whether it's a short Cairo history trip or a longer Egypt tourism route between the pyramids and the coast, every detail is arranged before you travel.

Our Egypt Packages

An Egypt package can mean pyramid tours and iconic Nile views in Cairo, reef diving and beach resorts in Sharm El Sheikh, or a slower walk through Alexandria's Greco-Roman ruins, and we build each trip around whichever one you're actually after. Families, couples, and groups all get a route matched to their pace, not a fixed loop through the same three stops.

Why Makani

Why Book Your Egypt Holiday with Makani

Unlicensed guides and pushy vendors around the pyramids are one of the most common complaints from first-time visitors to Egypt, usually the result of booking through a large, generic platform with no one on the ground. Makani has an actual branch office in Egypt, in Madinaty, not just a booking partnership, so someone local is handling your trip before you even land.

A Real Office in Egypt, Not Just a Listing

While most travel platforms book Egypt from a call center abroad, Makani runs an operating branch in Madinaty, giving you a local point of contact throughout your trip.

FAQ

UAE citizens (Emirati passport holders) generally enter Egypt visa-free for tourist visits, with sources citing stays of up to 90 days, though it's worth confirming the exact allowance closer to your travel date since rules can shift. UAE residents holding other nationalities typically qualify for either an e-Visa in advance or a visa on arrival at Cairo, Sharm El Sheikh, or Alexandria airport. One exception: travelers arriving directly into Sharm El Sheikh and staying only within Sinai resorts may get a free 15-day entry stamp, but this does not cover trips to Cairo or Alexandria.
October to April offers the most comfortable weather for exploring Cairo and Alexandria, avoiding the intense summer heat around the pyramids. Sharm El Sheikh stays warm enough for diving and beach days nearly year-round, making it a solid winter escape even when Cairo cools down.
The official currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). Cards are accepted in Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh's hotels and larger shops, but cash is essential at markets like Khan El Khalili and for smaller vendors. Banks and exchange offices generally offer better rates than hotels or airports.
Arabic is the official language, which makes communication straightforward for UAE travelers. English is also widely spoken in hotels, resorts, and tourist areas across all three cities.
Yes, Egypt's major tourist areas are considered safe, with a visible Tourist Police presence at major sites like the pyramids and Egyptian Museum. Standard precautions apply around persistent vendors and unofficial guides near the pyramids, and using a licensed guide avoids most of that hassle entirely.
The Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and Qaitbey Citadel in Alexandria, and the Red Sea reefs of Sharm El Sheikh rank among Egypt's most visited sites.
Cairo has a hot desert climate with mild winters, typically ranging from 15°C in January to 35°C in summer. Alexandria's Mediterranean coast stays cooler and more humid year-round, while Sharm El Sheikh's desert climate keeps it warm and dry even in winter, rarely dropping below 20°C.
