Going In October For Egypt Holidays

The hot days of Egypt are now gone and in October the weather won’t be as draining. Certainly will need to miss the middle of the day still as it will be too hot but the rest of the day will be fine. Egypt holidays will be great now for those who wouldn’t be able to stand the immense heat but want to see the sights and sounds that Egypt has to offer.


Example temperatures expected for Siwa will be between twenty four and twenty nine degrees, perfect for those not used or those that can’t handle extreme heat. During the night you can expect around fifteen degrees so it shouldn’t be too bad for sleeping, fairly manageable and not uncomfortable.

If Siwa is somewhere you decide to visit on a Egypt holiday then you must put the Siwa oasis on your list. It actually lies 60 feet below sea level and up until a few years ago it wasn’t accessible so you will be part of a small group to experience this amazing sight. The area is particularly famous for its olives and dates and is definitely one of the most beautiful springs in Egypt.

The top attractions in Egypt include the famous pyramids first and of course the capital Cairo, which is home to one of the largest trading markets in the world and the Pyramids of Gizo. Other places definitely worth visiting are Abu Simbel and I would suggest Karnak temples.

Abu Simbel is the cliffs that are found high about the River Nile. The famous part here is the four colossal statues which guard the entrance. Then the Karnak temples which were built over 1300 years are truly breathtaking. They are made up of three main temples as well as other smaller temples.

Finally Valley of the Kings is another place that should be researched for Egypt holidays .The valley can be found in Thebes on the west bank of the River Nile. In the Valley you will find 62 tombs. It is split into two parts, the East Valley and the West Valley. The East Valley is where you will find most of the tombs of the pharaohs of the New Kingdom.
