Renowned for its ancient history, mesmerizing monuments, and the majestic Nile, Egypt is a destination that promises a blend of mystery and adventure. Whether you're uncovering the secrets of the pyramids or lounging by the Red Sea, hiring a car in Egypt ensures you can explore this magnificent country at your own pace.
Flexibility: The vast landscapes of Egypt, from its bustling cities to its tranquil oases, are best explored with the freedom a rental car provides.
Convenience: Reach out-of-the-way archaeological sites or secluded beaches without depending on sporadic public transport.
Cost-effective: Especially when traveling in a group, renting a car can often be more economical than other modes of transport.
Things to Know When Hiring a Car in Egypt:
Driving License: International visitors should carry both their home country's driving license and an International Driving Permit (IDP).
Driving Side: In Egypt, driving is on the right-hand side of the road.
Parking: Most major hotels offer parking facilities. When parking in cities, it's advisable to use secured parking lots or have a local watch your car for a small fee.
Popular Driving Routes:
Cairo to Luxor: Drive alongside the Nile, and soak in the rich history by visiting temples, tombs, and ancient ruins.
Sharm El Sheikh Coastal Drive: Experience the mesmerizing beauty of the Red Sea coastline.
Desert Highways: Discover the vast deserts, such as the Western Desert's oases like Siwa.
Type of Car To Hire:
City Exploration: Compact cars are perfect for navigating through the busy streets of cities like Cairo or Alexandria.
Desert Adventures: Consider hiring an SUV or 4x4 if you're planning to venture into desert areas or explore off-road sites.
Family Travel: For families or larger groups, minivans or sedans with ample boot space are ideal.
Weather Influence: The sweltering summer heat, especially in southern parts like Luxor or Aswan, might influence your choice of car. Opting for a car with robust air conditioning is essential.
First-time Visitors Information:
Stay Alert: Egyptian driving style can be aggressive and unpredictable, especially in crowded cities. Stay cautious and alert.
Local Customs: Friday is a holy day in Egypt; thus, traffic is lighter. But remember, some shops or attractions might close early.
Fuel: Petrol stations are plentiful in cities but can be sparse in the desert. Always fill up your tank when possible.
Embrace the wonders of Egypt with the independence and comfort of your own vehicle. Whether you are into its rich history or just absorbing its contemporary culture, a rental car ensures you experience Egypt fully.
