Located in North-East Africa, bordering Sudan, Libya and Israel, Egypt is a destination that will take you on a journey through time, between history and modernity. With its varied landscapes, ranging from the emblematic pyramids of Giza, to the fascinating temples of Luxor and Aswan, passing by the enchanting beaches of Hurghada and the oasis of Siwa, this country has been able to amaze us. Here, we respect traditions and marvel at the heritage left by the pharaohs. The warm and welcoming inhabitants, the breathtaking panoramas, the delicious local flavors and the authenticity of this country with a thousand and one facets, made us live unforgettable moments. Regarding security, and I will develop this point in a paragraph a little below, prepare to be pleasantly surprised. This 2-week road trip in Egypt marked our hearts and minds.

Road trip in Egypt: with a child?
Travelling in Egypt can seem daunting, so with a child… we've been asked many times about social networks. Know that Egyptians love children and that our little Mattéo, 3 years old, passed from arm to arm and obtained many gifts during our stay. He marveled at the Pyramids, invented stories with the hieroglyphs in the temples and had no difficulty eating the specialties since it is always possible to choose spicy or not. It is true that we had to redouble our imagination during the many hours of driving and waiting in airports. Like during our trips of 10 days to Oman or a week in Jordan, we paid particular attention to his hydration.
Road trip in Egypt: safety?
Before detailing the itinerary of our road trip in Egypt, I thought it was important to reassure you. We ourselves, when we were preparing our trip, many people told us “but aren’t you afraid? ". Quite honestly, we did not feel insecure! Also, we thought that the difficulty of some sellers was going to spoil our experience. Indeed, around the Pyramids of Giza and at the exit of the temples, many people try to sell you anything and everything. Although they can sometimes be painful and destabilizing, they generally only ask you for a dollar or two... Take a step back from the situation, be assertive, also try humor and generally they don't insist more 2 minutes. Remember that being aggressive doesn't help, and if all your efforts don't work, shelling out $1 or $2 to get your peace of mind isn't going to blow your budget. Also, to take full advantage of all that Egypt has to offer, we advise you to take a look at the political situation when planning your trip.
Itinerary of our 15-day road trip in Egypt:
Road trip in Egypt – Day 1 & 2: Cairo
Arrived in Cairo, we pay in CB at one of the exchange offices of the airport our Visa ($25), we fill in the form made available in the arrival hall and pass the checks without great difficulty . To reach the city center, we advise you to order an UBER via the application, it will save you from having to haggle with a taxi that is too greedy... We reach our hotel in 40 minutes (about 3€) and sleep a few hours before to discover Cairo.
The capital of Egypt, Cairo has more than 20 million inhabitants. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a rich history dating back over 4500 years. The city is famous for its Giza pyramids, which attract millions of tourists every year, but it is also home to many other historical and cultural treasures, such as the Egyptian Museum and the ancient citadels and mosques. Although the city may seem chaotic and intimidating to travelers, it offers a unique and fascinating travel experience for those willing to venture there. Spending a few days in Cairo is, in our opinion, a must during a trip to Egypt.
The first day, we tasted the famous koshari of Abou Tarek restaurant, visited on egyptian museum before climbing to the top of the Cairo Tower then opting for a walk along the Nile.
At the end of the day, we were immersed in an electrical equipment souk, not far from the Kekhia mosque and the Opera. We stayed 2 hours exchanging a few smiles with the locals, taking pictures, eating fruit and pastries. A moment that we really enjoyed! For dinner, we opted for a Lebanese meal at Taboula Lebanese.
Don't miss the opportunity to book an unforgettable Nile cruise complete with a tasty dinner and a captivating show to cap off your day in style.
For our second day in Cairo, we take the time to have breakfast with our cousins, Jérôme and Froilan, who have arrived from Montreal, then leave by Uber for the morning in the Coptic district. We visit the Hanging Church, the churches of Saint George and Saint-Serge as well as the Roman fort.
For a trip closer to the locals, I push us for a few cents in the metro to return to downtown Cairo. So be careful if you try the experiment, wagons are reserved for women… I only saw her once I got off at Sadat station, El Tahrir Square. The Egyptians didn't tell me anything, so I imagine that women are tolerated in the men's wagons, but the reverse is not possible.
At the end of the day, we reach the Pyramids of Giza by Uber for 3€.

Road trip in Egypt – Day 3: The pyramids of Giza
We are dedicating our 3rd day to visiting the pyramids.
Located about 20km southwest of downtown Cairo, the Giza Plateau is easily accessible by taxi/uber. Dating back over 4,500 years, the Pyramids of Giza are one of the most famous and iconic wonders of the world. By exploring the site, you will discover the 3 main pyramids: Mykerinos, Khephren and Kheops. The latter is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing.
We have lunch at 8 a.m. on the rooftop of our hotel with an incredible view of the pyramids. It is at 8:30 am that we leave with Mohamed, our guide for the day. He advises us to visit Saqqara first for 2 reasons: the pyramid of Saqqara is less impressive than that of Kheops and all tourists start with Giza.
So we start with the necropolis of Saqqara (about 4€ per person). This archaeological site is located about 15km from Giza. It is one of the oldest and most important sites in ancient Egypt. Dating back over 4,000 years, it is best known for its famous step pyramid, which was built for Pharaoh Djoser. We also visited the tombs and funerary temples of the nobles of the pharaonic era.
We make a stop in Memphis and quickly visit this open-air museum before taking the road to reach the Giza plateau (8€ per person).
We arrive around 12 p.m. in front of the entrance, there is almost no queue. We stop in front of the Great Pyramid of Giza, we even climb it with Matteo before security tells us that it is only tolerated for tourists who visit the interior. Then we go for lunch at 9 Pyramids Lounge. The dishes here are quite expensive but are very good... And let's face it, eating in this setting is priceless!
We spend the rest of the afternoon at the foot of the Cheops pyramid and around the Sphinx.
You may succumb to the offer of touts who offer camel rides between the pyramids, but as during our visit to Petra in Jordan, we do not recommend this activity because we found that the animals were not in great shape.
At the end of the day, we go to the rooftop of the hotel Pyramids View Inn to watch the sunset over the pyramids, then we have dinner at the restaurant Abou Shakra before taking the road to the airport to reach Aswan.
In the evening, you can attend a sound and light show narrated by the Sphinx but according to reviews on the internet, there is nothing exceptional.
Where to sleep in Giza?
For travelers looking for a warm and friendly atmosphere, the Great Pyramid Inn is the perfect place. This hotel offers spacious rooms and a panoramic terrace where you can enjoy a free breakfast while admiring the pyramids. Finally, for lovers of authenticity, I suggest Pyramids Loft Homestay. This accommodation welcomes you in a family setting and offers a spectacular view of the pyramids from its shared terrace.
Road trip in Egypt – Day 4: Abu Simbel – Aswan
Arrived at night in Aswan, we boarded a mini-bus at 4am to reach the site of Abu Simbel. Standing on the shores of Lake Nasser, on the border of Sudan to the south of Egypt, the temples of Ramses II and Hathor are very impressive. Carved directly into the rock over 3000 years ago, they were moved block by block in the 1960s.
33 meters high and decorated with sculptures, the large temple is truly impressive. He honored Ramses II as much as the gods Re-Horakhty, Ptah and Amun. Inside, we find eight Osiriac statues of Ramses II.
The small temple of Hathor, also decorated with sculptures but of a more modest size, is dedicated to the wife of Re-Horakhty, goddess of love and joy.
Although Abu Simbel is quite far from the rest of the Egyptian tourist sites, the visit is definitely worth the detour. Mattéo did not see anything of the excursion, when he woke up we were on the way back at 1 hour from Aswan, and fortunately because we must admit that 7 hours of driving was really long.
Back in Aswan around 1 p.m., we decide to do the souk and have lunch in the restaurant Chief Khalil. Composed of seafood and fish, we loved the dishes.
We buy some fruit at the souk before finding a taxi that will take us to the Nubian village Gharb Soheil. Obviously, we are really not very good at negotiating and we pay 20€ for a taxi that will take us there and back. Finally, for 4 adults it's not very serious either... Know before you go there, that the real Nubian village is on Elephantine Island. The village of Gharn Soheil is very touristy and not authentic, but we loved having hibiscus tea along the Nile and the colors of the village facades. Many sellers will ask you to enter their shop, but we did not find them oppressive.
The taxi then drops us off at Sofitel Old Catarct Hotel & Spa to enjoy the sunset over the Nile and enjoy a dinner in a magnificent setting.
Where to sleep in Aswan?
If you are looking for where to stay in Aswan, you can rely on this interactive map to easily and quickly find the accommodation that best suits your needs. It also allows you to filter results based on your criteria, such as accommodation type, prices, and customer reviews. Whether you are looking for a bed and breakfast or a hotel, you will easily find the perfect accommodation for your stay.
Road trip in Egypt – Day 5: Aswan
Located north of the first cataract, it once marked the border between the lands of Egypt and those of the Nubians. The city has a rich history due to its strategic position. It was both a garrison town and an important place for trade. Today it is often reduced to a starting point for excursions, but the city of Aswan is a hidden gem and has charmed us. Here, we take the time and enjoy the magic of the Nile.
Ferries connect Elephantine Island to downtown Aswan for less than £5. We decide to spend the morning on the island and visit the Nubian museum and the ruins of Abu. Along the way, while we were a little lost on the island and looking for the temple of Khnum, we met Camille du blog l'Oiseau Rose and his family. The Elephantine Island offers an authentic experience and allows you to appreciate the natural beauty of Aswan in peace.
From Elephantine Island, we reach Kitchener Island by boat for 120£E, or 4 euros round trip. And for £200 in total, he took us straight back to the dock in central Aswan, close to our cruise ship.
This island is also called the island of flowers because it is entirely made up of a botanical garden that we had the pleasure of visiting (about 2€).
We board our cruise ship around noon. On board, very few young people and even fewer children. Mattéo was the only one, so he was the real mascot. After lunch, we meet Wof, our guide for this afternoon and the next 3 days. The boat remains at the quay today so we leave to discover the surroundings of Aswan.
We start with the Aswan High Dam. It is one of the most important achievements of the 20th century, mainly for its utility. If it completely changed the map of the valley of the longest river in Africa, it also made it possible to provide nearly 50% of Egypt's electricity production and to increase the area of arable land by 30%. from the country. It is a remarkable site which is particularly well monitored for the simple and good reason that in the event of its destruction, the whole of Egypt would be submerged.
Then we end the day at Philae. Admission costs around €8 and includes a round trip by boat to Aguilkia Island, which is not his home island. Indeed, because of the rising waters caused by the construction of the high dam, UNESCO has completely moved this temple in order to safeguard this place steeped in history.
The Temple of Isis is the last classical Egyptian temple to be built and it is also the only pagan temple that remained active in early Christianity. Isis is one of the most important figures of ancient Egypt since she is considered the protector of the pharaohs.
The advantage of having visited this place at the end of the day is that we can enjoy the monuments without tourists. We are the last to leave and the light on Philae at sunset is beautiful.
Road trip in Egypt – Day 6/7: Cruise on the Nile
The Nile cruise is a one-of-a-kind experience. It allowed us to discover Egypt in a different way and to rest. Along the water, we were able to admire the spectacular landscapes of the valley and the life on the banks of the Nile. These are also my favorite moments: sitting by the pool on the roof of the boat, I never got tired of the landscape. The cruise also offers a variety of activities and excursions.
Although it is an unforgettable experience, I have noted some advantages and disadvantages that can help you make your choice.
For the positives I would say first of all:
Comfort: its level can vary from one cruise to another, which is why it is important to choose your boat carefully.
Rest: when we sail, we are forced to rest.
Travel: much less restrictive to get from point A to point B on a cruise ship than in a bus, plane or taxi. And even more with a child!
The landscape: it passes before our eyes as if by magic.
The catering: very varied.
About the negatives:
Mass tourism: all the cruises make the same route, at the same times, which is why during the visits we felt suffocated.
Pollution: the back of the boats and the smoke they give off are black.
Air conditioning: we weren't very hot on board the boat, luckily we could put on the heating in our rooms.
The sixth day is devoted to sailing and visiting Kom Ombo.
Located 45km north of Aswan and built in the 2nd century BC, the temple of Kom Ombo is unique for its double consecration to the gods Haroeris (falcon) and Sobek (crocodile). We disembark at night and there are a lot of tourists, which makes the visit quite unpleasant.
We were happy to have a guide during this visit because he really explained a lot of things to us, in particular that the Egyptians of the time had natural and effective pregnancy tests. It was enough for the woman to urinate on wheat or spelled, if the wheat grew it was a boy, if the spelled sprouted it was a girl.
Finish the temple visit with the Crocodile Museum. There are many mummified caimen inside.
For our seventh day, we woke up at 4:30 a.m. to visit the temple of Edfu.
Usually, we wake up at this time to be alone and enjoy the place without tourists. But here, it's a dozen cruise ships that dock at the same time! After having no choice but to ride in a horse-drawn carriage, we find ourselves suffocated in the Temple of Horus. It's too much... It's 5:30 a.m., we've lost our guide, there are far too many people and Mattéo in my arms asks me what's going on... There's a better way to start a day, I must admit! We quickly leave the temple and enjoy the outside air.
We sail for a few hours to reach Luxor. It is 3:30 p.m., no excursion is planned for this evening. So we decide to take a taxi and go to the temple of Luxor. The brightness at the end of the day makes the place magical. This temple is dedicated to the god Amon-Re. We visit it to admire its majestic statues, its massive columns and its avenue of the Sphinxes.
Road trip in Egypt – Day 8/9: Luxor
If some say that it is the largest open-air museum in the world, know that it takes no less than 2 days in Luxor to visit as many monuments as possible. Located 700km from Cairo, it is an essential stopover during a stay in Egypt. Luxor is built on the remains of the ancient ancient city of Thebes which was the capital of the country 4000 years ago. The ruins of Thebes have been declared a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO. The name Luxor comes from the Arabic "al kousour" which means "the castles" in connection with the many ruins present in this region.
Plan to get up very early one morning to be able to take a hot air balloon ride. Matteo, 3 years old, couldn't make it so we extended our night while Nico and his cousins flew away for 30 minutes of pure fun.
In two days in Luxor, we had time to visit:
Karnak: This is the most visited site in Egypt after the Giza pyramids. We can only visit the city of Amon-Ré, which is the largest of the temple enclosures. We loved the magnificent columns, the large statues and the obelisk. By the way, the second obelisk is in Paris, Place de la Concorde.
The Colossi of Memnon: These two gigantic statues of Amenhotep III were built 3400 years ago. They show a pharaoh looking at the sun with his hands on his knees. They are located between Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, stopping there is mandatory.
The Valley of the Kings: Located on the west bank of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings takes shape like a desert and rocky alley at the foot of the mountains. It is here that the tombs of the pharaohs from Tutmosis I to Ramses XI were placed. The entrance price varies depending on the tombs you decide to visit. We visited 5 tombs: Ramses IX, Ramses I, Ramses III, Tutankhamun and Ramses VI.
The Temple of Hatshepsut: With its three levels and its very straight lines, the architecture of this temple is truly unique. In addition, the limestone cliffs behind make the whole very majestic. Apparently Hatshepsut was a woman.
Medinet Habu: In Egyptian mythology, this is where Amun first appeared. Less known, the temple of Medinet Habou is definitely worth a visit. I actually think that's my favorite. The reliefs are incredibly well preserved and colorful.

Road trip in Egypt – Day 10/11: Hurghada
Located on the east coast of Egypt by the Red Sea, Hurghada is a seaside town. Known for its white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, which attract travelers from all over the world to practice activities such as snorkeling and scuba diving. But Hurghada offers much more than water activities, you can also explore the desert by quad, jeep or even on camels and also discover the city center and the local market. Most of the tourists we met here came to spend the week in one of the most beautiful all-inclusive hotels on the coast to relax and enjoy the sun. If you opt for this option, I advise you to book a day trip to visit Luxor temples.
During our 2 days in Hurghada, we stayed at the Arabia Azur Resort. This complex has spacious and comfortable rooms with sea views, two heated outdoor swimming pools, a gym, a spa, numerous restaurants serving local and international cuisine. We loved this resort.
The first day we went to sea with Hurghada dream. The boat was not private but big enough to accommodate everyone, we all had a small place on the boat where we could lie down and sunbathe. The guides spoke French and were very friendly. On the program: towed buoy, snorkeling, lunch and 2 hours of rest on the island of Paradise Island. We were the only ones on the boat who chose this island, the others landed on Orange Island.
The latter seems larger and by far we preferred the Paradise Island facilities. The water is crystal clear and despite mass tourism, it is still possible to find small secluded spots.
The next morning, we took advantage of the hotel before the sky clouded over and prompted us to visit downtown Hurghada. We visit the mosque and eat at the marina before turning back to the hotel because the sandstorm was getting thicker.
In the evening, we fly to Cairo.
Road trip in Egypt – Day 12/13/14: Siwa
The end of our stay in Egypt is approaching and we have chosen to make a last 3-day excursion to Siwa. Located about twenty kilometers from Libya, 800 km from Cairo, this isolated oasis is surrounded by the Sahara. If it is one of the most preserved destinations in Egypt, it is surely because it is not easy to access. Indeed, it took us no less than 9 hours to reach Siwa from Cairo by private car. Our driver Mohamed was very endearing, spoke good English and paid a lot of attention to Mattéo. He knew the road like the back of his hand and it was better because we went from 110km/h to 10km/h because of the deformations of the roadway. On the way, we left Cairo at 4am and slept a good part of the way.
When we arrive at 2 p.m. in Siwa, we have lunch at Abdu Restaurant before enjoying our hotel on Ghaliet Ecolodge Resort. The place is beautiful and warm.
At the end of the day, Mohamed takes us to the island of Fatnas. While sipping our lemon-minth, the colors of the sunset over Lake Birket and the white mountains of Jebal Beida are magnificent. We take advantage of this timeless moment before going to dinner.
Our second day will be loaded with experience. We start with the visit of the mountain of the dead. This limestone cliff is riddled with tombs dating back to the 13th dynasty. We visited 2 tombs but above all we stayed a long time to admire the view.
We continue the visit to the fortress of Shali. In the heart of Siwa, in height, this fortress was built in kershef (mixture of clay, salt and stone) in the 13th century to protect the Berbers. The ruins are degraded after each precipitation but recently they have been renovated following the techniques of ancestral constructions.
Mohamed then takes us to visit the Temple of the Oracle of Amun. Here we find both Egyptian and Greek style. At the time of Alexander the Great, the oracle of Siwa had been revered for 3 centuries by the Greeks.
We continue with the salt lakes. After having floated in the Dead Sea in Jordan, it is in Egypt that we renew the experience. Light blue in color, they contain a high level of salt which allows them to float automatically when bathing.
After a high-salt swim, it is important to rinse well. We will directly bathe in the baths of Cleopatra. This natural pool is a transparent and pure hot spring. It seems that bathing here is a source of medicinal virtues.
Then in the early afternoon, Mohamed leaves us in the hands of a second Mohamed whom he nicknames “majnoun”, the madman. After some administrative formalities, we pass the gates of the desert. The dunes of the Sahara can reach 250 meters, it is a real playground for "Majnoun". Our hearts jump, we cling to each other and Mattéo laughs out loud. This jeep ride is awesome and I wish it lasted over and over again!
We stop at the water sources of Bir Wahneed and then we ask our driver to make us do vouchers in the dunes.
A little later, he stops us and offers us to slide on the dunes. An experience already tested in the desert of Merzouga in Morocco which we couldn't wait to do again. We each take a board and off we go… Mohamed pushes us, we go down at full speed! A real moment of pleasure for all.
Then we return to our camp for the night. Very few tourists in the camp, I admit that when night fell I started to panic because Mohamed had told us, just before leaving us, that the Egyptian government had closed all the camps except the one where we were. But why ? It seems that it is for security because the Libyan border is really not far but we were not sure… The dinner was delicious and even if I did not sleep much that night, I keep very good memories of this day in Siwa.
The next morning, we have a quick lunch and Majnoun takes us back to the city center.
It's the end of our excursion, we now have to drive 9 hours to return to Cairo.
Road trip in Egypt – Day 15: Cairo
We spend our last day in Cairo and more specifically in the Islamic Cairo district. Known for its traditional Islamic architecture, we loved discovering its mosques, madrasas and historic buildings. It is one of the oldest and most charming districts of the capital.
Our tour begins with the Al-Azhar Mosque. The first to be built in the Fatimid city of Cairo, it is the oldest and largest Islamic university. It attracts Muslim students from all over the world. We take off our shoes, I put on a skirt longer than my dress and cover my hair to be able to enter the mosque. As always, the magic happens. We feel lucky to be able to admire the architecture and the courtyard surrounded by several minarets is magnificent.
We continue the visit of Islamic Cairo by heading to the Khan Al Khalili souk. And what an experience! At 9 a.m., there was hardly anyone and we were easily moving through the small alleys. We bought some souvenirs in the shops, then around 10am the alleys filled up. It became impracticable with the stroller but leaving Matteo inside was to ensure him a small living space. And then, the merchants go well with their trailer... So I didn't disassemble myself and I did like them, that is to say move forward at all costs. The minutes were long and it was tiring trying to get out of all this pretty mess. When we arrived on the main avenue, it was like a breath of fresh air (in a city 4 times more polluted than Paris!).
We continue with the visit of the monuments of the Sharia al-Muizz artery: the madrasa mausoleum of As Salih Ayyub, An Nasir Mohammed and Barqouq.
We then stop at Al-Azhar Park, far from the horns, it is a real little haven of peace in the middle of Cairo. Mattéo takes advantage of the games for children while we rest our legs on one of the many benches. We quickly eat hawawshi (pita stuffed with minced meat).
We spend a good part of the afternoon at the Citadel of Cairo. Also called Citadel of Saladin, it is an emblematic monument declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Built in 1976, Sultan Saladin wanted the fort to protect the city from Crusaders. Perched on the hills of Mokattam, it offers a magnificent view of Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza on a clear day.
At the end of the day, we visit the Sultan Hassan Mosque and the Al-Rifai Mosque before having dinner at Ginkgo.
Our 15-day trip to Egypt was incredibly rewarding. We were fascinated by the history of the pharaohs, amazed by the beauty of the temples and the grandeur of the pyramids. The Nile cruise allowed us to discover very touristy but impressive historical sites, while Hurghada offered us rest and swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea. We loved visiting the oasis of Siwa and its desert. Conquered by the local cuisine, we are already looking for Egyptian restaurants at Marseille. Once again, the kindness of the locals made our trip very rich and very emotional. Also, we are lucky to have been able to experience such wonderful moments in the company of Jérôme and Froilan, Nicolas' cousins who live in Montreal. A journey of escape, designed with love, for our greatest pleasure!
