Egypt has all types of accommodation on offer, from deluxe hotels to youth hostels, at prices to suit all pockets. The main cities have quality hotels moderately priced, which must be booked well in advance, especially during the winter months.
Smaller hotels are very good value.
Travel through the desert wilderness is available through local tour operators. It should be borne in mind that desert travel is extremely hazardous without an experienced guide, ample supplies of water, and a vehicle in good mechanical condition. There are only a few official campsites in the country. Tourists are advised to contact the local Tourist Offices on arrival for further details.
