Egypt.

Why Egypt is worth the trip

Egypt is built around Giza, Luxor and the Grand Egyptian Museum — the densest concentration of antiquity on earth. The country runs on Arabic, English, prices in EGP, and centres on Cairo with major hubs at Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada. Flights route through CAI.

Where to stay and what it costs

Across Egypt, a night runs roughly US$20–200 at market rates, from simple self-catering apartments at the lower end to lodges and beachfront villas at the top. Those are guide figures for the country, not Cabana quotes.

Cabana does not yet have live listings in Egypt. The platform is open to hosts here and listing is free with zero commission, so if you have a property, vehicle or tour in Egypt you can be the first on it. Meanwhile the guidance below is genuine and independent of what Cabana has in stock.

The main demand centres are Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada.

When to go

The window most travellers want is Oct–Apr (cooler). Rates and availability tighten inside it, so booking direct matters more — you are competing for the same rooms without a platform markup on top.

What to actually see

• Pyramids of Giza
• Grand Egyptian Museum
• Valley of the Kings, Luxor
• Abu Simbel
• Nile cruise Luxor–Aswan
• Red Sea diving, Dahab

Paying for things on the ground

Cash EGP; cards in hotels; InstaPay locally. Cabana settles bookings through the rails people actually use — M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money and cards — rather than forcing every transaction through a card processor priced for another continent.

Entry requirements

Visa on arrival or e-visa. Check the current position with the Egypt immigration authority before you travel; entry rules change more often than guidebooks do.
