December is one of the most comfortable times to visit Egypt, with generally sunny, pleasant days and cool mornings and evenings. Because our journey covers several regions—from Cairo and the Nile Valley to the Red Sea and Sinai—temperatures can vary considerably.

🧥 Jacket or sweater – Very important for early mornings, evenings, the Nile cruise, desert areas, and Sinai. Layering is recommended.
👟 Comfortable walking shoes – Essential for the Pyramids, temples, archaeological sites, uneven stone surfaces, sand, and long sightseeing days.
🧢 Sun protection – Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Even in December, Egypt's sun can be strong.

Transportation & Travel Days:
Some days may involve extended periods of travel by motorcoach, boat, or domestic flight. Depending on the itinerary, certain travel days can be long and may include early departures.
