Neden Mısır'ı Ziyaret Etmeli?

Ancient Archaeological Wonders

Home to the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt offers a physical connection to the past that no other country can match. From the hidden tombs in the Valley of the Kings to the massive columns of Karnak Temple, the scale of preservation is breathtaking.

World-Class Diving

The Red Sea is globally renowned for its crystal-clear visibility and diverse marine life. Whether you are snorkeling in Hurghada or diving the deep reefs of Sharm El Sheikh, you will encounter vibrant coral gardens and exotic fish just meters from the shore.

Nile River Cruises

Sailing the Nile is a quintessential Egyptian experience that allows you to see the landscape as the Pharaohs did. Traditional wooden feluccas and luxury cruisers offer a serene way to travel between the historic hubs of Luxor and Aswan.

Exceptional Travel Value

With an average daily budget of ~₺2.892 / E£3.152, Egypt is remarkably accessible for international travelers. You can enjoy high-quality accommodation, private guided tours, and elaborate multi-course meals for a fraction of the cost of other major global destinations.

Vibrant Culinary Traditions

The food scene is a flavorful blend of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences, emphasizing fresh vegetables and aromatic spices. From the hearty national dish of Koshary to sweet, honey-soaked pastries, the local flavors are as diverse as the history.

Bustling Urban Energy

Cairo's chaotic charm is an experience in itself, filled with the sounds of calls to prayer and the hum of city life. The city's museums, including the Grand Egyptian Museum (officially opened Nov 2025), house the world's most significant collection of Pharaonic artifacts.

Bölgeler

Cairo and Giza

The sprawling capital region is the gateway to Egypt, housing the Egyptian Museum and the iconic Pyramids of Giza. It is a sensory-heavy hub where Islamic architecture meets modern urban sprawl and ancient desert monuments.

The Nile Valley

Concentrated around the city of Luxor, this region is often described as the world's largest open-air museum. It is the center for archaeological exploration, featuring the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the massive Karnak complex.

Red Sea Riviera

This coastal stretch, including Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, is dedicated to relaxation and aquatic adventure. It offers luxury resorts, golden beaches, and some of the planet's best snorkeling and scuba diving spots.

Founded by Alexander the Great, this Mediterranean region offers a cooler climate and a more European atmosphere. It is famous for its historic library, Greco-Roman ruins, and upscale summer beach resorts.

Şehirler ve Destinasyonlar:

En İyi Ziyaret Zamanı

The ideal time to visit is during the winter months for sightseeing and the spring/autumn shoulder seasons for diving. Summer temperatures can be extreme, often exceeding 40°C in Upper Egypt.

Yüksek Sezon

Eki, Kas, Ara, Oca, Şub, Mar, Nis

Winter offers mild daytime temperatures of 15–25°C, perfect for exploring the pyramids and temples. However, this is the busiest time, with higher hotel prices and significant crowds at major monuments like Giza and Abu Simbel.

Ara Sezon

May, Eyl

The shoulder months are hot but manageable, with temperatures between 25–35°C. These periods offer a balance of fewer tourists and slightly lower prices, though the hot 'Khamsin' sandstorms can occur in late spring.

Düşük Sezon

Haz, Tem, Ağu

Summer is scorching, with intense heat that makes midday sightseeing difficult. While it is the cheapest time to visit and crowds are minimal, it is best suited for coastal Red Sea resorts where sea breezes provide some relief.

Ulaşım

Egypt has a diverse transport network ranging from high-speed domestic flights to historic rail lines and chaotic but effective city metros. Cairo's traffic is notorious, making the metro or ride-hailing apps the preferred urban choices.

Tren

The Egyptian National Railways (ENR) connects Cairo to Alexandria and runs south to Luxor and Aswan. Overnight sleeper trains are a popular tourist choice for the 12-hour journey to Upper Egypt, costing ~₺4.390–₺5.682 / E£4.785–E£6.192 for a private cabin.

Metro

Cairo's metro system is the fastest way to bypass surface traffic. It features separate carriages specifically for women. Fares are distance-based; as of early 2026, single rides are typically EGP 8 / 10 / 15 / 20 depending on station range.

Otobüs

Private bus companies like GoBus and Super Jet offer comfortable, air-conditioned intercity travel. Routes from Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada take 6–8 hours and typically cost ~₺517–₺1.291 / E£563–E£1.407.

Uçuş

Domestic flights via EgyptAir or Nile Air are the most efficient way to travel between Cairo and distant hubs like Luxor, Aswan, or the Red Sea resorts, with flight times usually around 1 hour.

Feribot

Nile ferries and traditional feluccas (sailboats) are essential for crossing the river in Luxor and Aswan or for scenic sunset sails. Multi-day Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan are a staple of the Egyptian tourist experience.

Yeme ve İçme

Egyptian cuisine is a hearty and flavorful mix of legumes, grains, and vegetables, often served with an abundance of fresh bread. While meat is a centerpiece of celebratory meals, many of the most famous local dishes are naturally vegetarian and utilize aromatic spices like cumin and coriander.

Mutlaka Deneyin

Koshary

The national dish of Egypt, this filling comfort food is a mix of rice, macaroni, and lentils topped with a spiced tomato sauce, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions.

Ful Medames

A staple breakfast dish consisting of slow-cooked fava beans seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, typically scooped up with fresh pita bread.

Mulukhiyah

A distinctive, savory green soup made from minced mallow leaves and flavored with garlic and coriander, usually served alongside rice and chicken.

Ta'ameya

The Egyptian version of falafel, made with crushed fava beans rather than chickpeas, resulting in a lighter, greener, and fluffier texture.

Hawawshi

A popular street food sandwich made of spiced minced meat baked inside a whole-loaf of pita bread until the outside is crispy and the inside is juicy.

Fattah

A celebratory dish often served at festivals, featuring layers of fried bread and rice topped with meat and a garlic-vinegar tomato sauce.

Om Ali

A rich, warm bread pudding made with layers of puff pastry, milk, cream, and nuts, often considered the most beloved dessert in the country.

Sahlab

A thick, creamy winter drink made from the starch of orchid tubers, topped with cinnamon, shredded coconut, and crushed nuts.

Para ve Maliyetler

Egypt offers excellent value for money, with an average daily budget of ~₺2.892 / E£3.152. While inflation has impacted local prices, the exchange rate remains favorable for international visitors.

Bahşiş

Known as 'Baksheesh,' tipping is an integral part of the culture; expect to tip ~10–15% in restaurants and ~₺52–₺103 / E£56–E£113 for small services like luggage handling or housekeeping.

Kartlar

Major hotels, upscale restaurants, and malls in cities like Cairo and Hurghada accept credit cards, but cash is mandatory for markets, taxis, and small vendors.

ATM'ler

ATMs are widely available in all urban and tourist areas. It is advisable to carry small Egyptian Pound notes (5, 10, 20 EGP) for frequent tipping and local purchases.

Kültür ve Görgü Kuralları

Egypt is a deeply hospitable but socially conservative country where tradition and religious customs play a significant role in daily life. Respecting local norms regarding dress and public behavior will help you connect more authentically with the local community.

✓

Carry small change for 'Baksheesh,' as tipping is expected for minor services like luggage handling or using public restrooms.

✓

Dress modestly by covering your shoulders and knees, especially when visiting mosques, churches, or traditional markets.

Don't drink the tap water; always use bottled water for drinking and even for brushing your teeth to avoid stomach issues.

✓

Remove your shoes before entering a mosque or someone's home to show respect for their sacred or private space.

Don't use your left hand for eating or handing objects to others, as the left hand is traditionally considered unclean.

✓

Ask for permission before taking photographs of local people, particularly women, as many find it intrusive.

Don't engage in overt public displays of affection like kissing or hugging, which are culturally discouraged in public spaces.

✓

Participate in polite bargaining at markets, as the initial price quoted is usually much higher than the intended sale price.

Güvenlik ve Sağlık

Egypt is generally safe for tourists, though a high degree of caution is advised due to the risk of terrorism. Avoid travel to the North Sinai Peninsula, the Western Desert, and areas bordering Libya and Sudan.

Musluk Suyu

Not safe to drink

Aşılar

Yellow fever certificate required if arriving from a country with yellow fever transmission risk (including certain long airport transits). CDC recommends being up to date on routine vaccines including polio booster for previously vaccinated travelers; Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended.

Yaygın Dolandırıcılıklar

⚠ Camel/horse ride 'hidden' fees where handlers demand extra payment to let the passenger dismount at the Pyramids.
⚠ The 'broken meter' taxi scam or claims that ride-hailing services like Uber are banned at the airport.
⚠ Unsolicited 'free gifts' like scarves or papyrus being placed in your hand followed by aggressive demands for payment.
⚠ Unofficial 'helpers' at airports and train stations who insist on carrying luggage for an exorbitant tip.
⚠ Middlemen at historical sites offering 'better routes' or 'VIP access' to avoid official ticket queues.

Healthcare in major cities like Cairo is of a good standard, but travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is highly recommended. Avoid ice in drinks as it is often made from tap water.

Dil

Modern Standard Arabic is the official language, but the Egyptian Arabic dialect is the spoken norm. English is widely understood in hotels, tour agencies, and major tourist hubs, though less common in rural areas.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Is Egypt safe for tourists?

Egypt is generally safe for tourists, and the government maintains a heavy security presence in major zones like Cairo, Luxor, and Red Sea resorts. However, travelers are advised to exercise a high degree of caution and avoid specific areas like the North Sinai Peninsula and border regions due to security risks. Stick to well-traveled routes and follow local advice for a smooth trip.

How expensive is a trip to Egypt?

Egypt is a very budget-friendly destination with typical mid-range daily budgets around ~₺2.892 / E£3.152 covering decent accommodation, food, and transport. Street food meals can cost as little as ₺103–₺207 / E£113–E£225, while a 3-course dinner at a mid-range restaurant is typically ₺775–₺1.291 / E£844–E£1.407. Major site tickets are priced in EGP; check current rates before visiting (e.g., Giza Plateau area entry for foreign adults is currently EGP 700, with extra fees for entering pyramids).

When is the best time to visit Egypt?

The peak travel season is between October and April when the weather is mild and pleasant for sightseeing, with daytime temperatures ranging from 18–25°C. Visiting during the summer months of June to August can be difficult because temperatures in Luxor and Aswan frequently exceed 40°C, which makes exploring outdoor archaeological sites physically exhausting and potentially dangerous.

Do I need a visa to visit Egypt?

Most international visitors require a visa to enter Egypt, which is valid for a stay of up to 30 days. You can conveniently obtain a tourist visa on arrival at major airports for approximately ₺1.291 / E£1.407, or apply for an e-visa online at least seven days before your departure. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of arrival.

Is English widely spoken in Egypt?

English is moderately spoken in Egypt, particularly within the tourism industry, hotels, and popular restaurants in cities like Cairo and Luxor. Most tour guides and shopkeepers in major souks will speak functional English, but communication may be more limited in rural areas. Learning basic Arabic greetings like 'Salam' or 'Shukran' is highly appreciated and will improve your interactions with locals.

What should I eat in Egypt?

You must try Koshary, the national dish of lentils, rice, and pasta, and Ful Medames for a traditional breakfast. For a more formal meal, try Hamam Mahshi (stuffed pigeon) or a Fattah feast. Street food lovers should look for Ta'ameya and Hawawshi, but ensure the vendor is busy and the food is fresh. For dessert, honey-rich Basbousa or creamy Om Ali are essential experiences.

How do I get around in Egypt?

In Cairo, the metro system and ride-hailing apps like Uber are the best ways to navigate the city's notorious traffic efficiently. For traveling between major cities like Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, domestic flights are the fastest option, while the rail network offers historic and scenic routes. For a traditional local experience, you can hire a felucca sailboat for short trips along the Nile River.

Is the tap water safe to drink in Egypt?

No, the tap water in Egypt is not safe for drinking and can cause significant stomach distress for travelers. You should always opt for bottled water, which is readily available and inexpensive, typically costing around ₺26–₺52 / E£28–E£56 per bottle. It is also wise to avoid ice in drinks unless you are in a high-end hotel that uses purified water, and use bottled water for brushing your teeth.

What is the tipping culture in Egypt?

Tipping, known locally as 'Baksheesh,' is deeply rooted in Egyptian culture and is expected for almost every service. In restaurants, a tip of 10–15% is standard even if a service charge is included, as that charge often goes to the establishment rather than the staff. You should also keep small coins or notes of ~₺52–₺103 / E£56–E£113 ready for hotel porters, drivers, and bathroom attendants.

What is the dress code for tourists in Egypt?

While there is no legal dress code, modesty is a sign of respect in Egyptian society. Women are advised to wear loose-fitting clothing that covers the shoulders and knees, while men should avoid wearing short shorts outside of beach resorts. When entering a mosque, women must cover their hair with a scarf and everyone must remove their shoes, as these are highly sacred spaces.
