There are ample bank machines available, and they accept credit or debit cards to withdraw cash. We recommend not using credit or debit cards in the bazaars.

WEATHER

The climates vary from region to region. Cairo and its surroundings are considered semi-arid, while the south is a desert climate. 

Spring is brief in Egypt, and summer arrives quickly between March and May. Temperatures can change swiftly between 68° and 95° F (20° and 35° C) over a full day.

From the end of September to the end of November, temperatures vary between 77° and 95° F (25° to 35° C) from the north to the south of the country, with the sun still shining brightly.

In the winter months—from December to the end of February— we recommend a warm coat for Cairo, although Luxor and Aswan usually remain balmy.
