Egypt

Luxor Temple in Luxor, Egypt

The time to go is now. Egyptian tourism suffered during the Arab Spring and regime change. In 2010, 14.7 million people visited Egypt. In 2013, that number dropped to 9.5 million.

Along with regime change came a more stable government committed to travel and tourism. The deals are there now, as Egyptian tourism helps to rebuild the economy. It’s all about timing, and 2015 is the right time—no crowds, great service, and people who are actually happy to see you. Prices are also better compared to four years ago, and are down nearly 50 percent.

If you’re looking to visit the Sphinx and the Pyramids without the crowds and at great prices, 2015 is your year. The same goes with a cruise down the Nile.
