Egypt's history and culture remain timeless, but recent events have added a new layer to daily life. Expect more security presence than before. Traveling in groups is highly recommended for safety. Early morning domestic flights from Cairo to Luxor or Aswan mean you'll be up before dawn. Some comforts like hygiene may be different, so follow the local dress code and be cautious with food—stick to cooked meals and bottled drinks. The Sahara's hot winds bring sand and dust, adding to the adventure.
