What is the best way to visit Egypts touristic sites on my own?
If this is your first visit, it is best to book an organized tour through a local tour operator. This way you are guided through the sites by a professional guide and transportation is included. Most tour guides are multi-lingual, and all of them English-speaking. If you know your way around and don’t need a guide, you could rent a taxi or car with driver for the day or for as many hours as you need, and go it alone. It takes a particular finesse or madness (depending on how you look at it) to drive in Egypt, especially in Cairo, so although there are rental car companies in Egypt (Hertz, Avis, Budget, Euro Dollar), we highly recommend you do not drive yourself.
