Top travel tips when visiting Egypt

Respect Local Customs:Egypt has a rich cultural heritage, so it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites, and avoid public displays of affection.
Visa Requirements:Check visa requirements before your trip and ensure you have the necessary documentation. Many nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival, but it's best to confirm the latest information with the Egyptian embassy or consulate.
Health Precautions:Consult a healthcare professional before your trip to ensure you have the necessary vaccinations and medications. Drink bottled water, avoid raw or undercooked foods, and use sunscreen to protect against the sun.
Safety:Egypt is generally a safe destination for travelers, but it's wise to exercise common sense precautions. Be cautious of pickpockets in crowded areas, and avoid political demonstrations or gatherings.
Currency and Payments:The official currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). While credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, it's a good idea to have some cash on hand, especially when traveling to more remote regions.
Transportation:Egypt has various transportation options, including taxis, buses, and trains. It's advisable to agree on a fare with taxi drivers before starting your ride. For longer distances, consider traveling on reputable intercity buses or trains.
Bargaining Skills:Bargaining is common in local markets (souks). Polite negotiation can often lead to better prices, but remember that the goal is to find a fair compromise.
Local Guides:When visiting historical sites, consider hiring a local guide. They can provide valuable insights and historical context that will enhance your experience.
Language:Arabic is the official language, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas. Learning a few basic Arabic phrases can be a helpful way to connect with locals.
Photography:Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially locals. Photography regulations may apply at certain historical sites and museums.
Cultural Sensitivity:Learn about Egyptian customs and etiquette. For instance, it's polite to accept offerings of tea or coffee when visiting someone's home.
Tipping:Tipping is customary in Egypt, especially in the service industry. Leave a small tip for waitstaff, hotel staff, and guides if you're satisfied with the service.
Electricity:The standard voltage is 220 V, and the plugs are of the European two-pin type. Make sure to bring appropriate adapters if needed.
Internet and Communication:Most hotels and tourist areas offer Wi-Fi, and you can also purchase local SIM cards for data and calls if needed.

I am naturally a cautious guy and know how careful you have to be when booking tours online, especially ones that aren’t located in your home country.

We booked a trip from Aswan to Luxor with the driver Ahmed and the trip was great. He drove non-stop to make sure we arrived on time. It has been a very good experience.

Our guide Samah was fantastic – so knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. It was so nice to have a female guide – I would highly recommend her. The tombs and temples were amazing, with the history fully explained.

Loved this trip! The tour was well planned out from start to finish. Seeing the sunrise on the hot air balloon was breathtaking and there were so much to learn from our tour guide about the many temples in Luxor.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Some of the most common questions asked by tourists.

Is it safe to travel to Egypt?

Egypt is a safe destination, and you will have a quiet and pleasant trip to any of its extraordinary cities to do all the activities and visit all its famous sights and beaches. The tourist police, the army, and others provide total security for your visit to avoid the occurrence of any problem.

Can women travel alone? It is safe?

Women should not worry about traveling alone because it is safe, as policemen, army soldiers, and tourist police are spread all over the country to protect tourists and citizens. Therefore, you will always find them close to your location in case you need help, but you should know that problems will rarely happen, so you should not be afraid to travel to Egypt alone.

What do I need to do to obtain my tourist visa?

You must go to the Egyptian Embassy to apply for your tourist visa. In case you are from another country like Australia, Brazil, Malaysia, Western Europe, North America, or others, you are allowed to take your tourist visa upon arrival in Egypt.

Why is it more preferable to stay in a hotel near the pyramids than to stay in the center?

The first thing to do when visiting Cairo is to head to the great pyramids of Giza, especially if you are staying for a few days, and thus booking a room in a hotel near the pyramids will allow you to visit various tourist sites easily and in a short time without getting stuck in the downtown traffic jam. Hotels near the Pyramids also offer more luxurious facilities like outdoor pools, beautiful gardens to relax in, and more to ensure you get entertaining accommodation. Also, the cost of staying in a resort in the pyramids area is less than that of downtown hotels.

Is it possible to explore any of the three pyramids of Giza from the inside?

Yes, it is allowed, but there is a limited number of tickets, and you can only buy these tickets from the main entrance. You have to get there early so you can find a ticket because they sold out quickly.

Is it allowed to take photos inside the tombs?

Taking photos inside the tombs is not allowed, and at some sites like Valle del Rey, visitors are asked to put down their cameras before entering because using the camera flash can ruin artwork inside the tombs. Therefore, you must follow the rules to avoid the occurrence of any problems.

Is there certain clothing for men to enter a mosque?

Men are preferred to wear long pants and not shorts in case of entering a mosque, but they will not face any problem if they wear shorts.

Should women wear a specific outfit before entering a mosque?

It is preferred that you cover your skin and wear a headscarf as a kind of respect for the religious site, but it is not required.

Is it simple to use my credit or debit card in Egypt?

Yes, credit and debit cards are easily accepted and used throughout Egypt, including in hotels, cruise ships, shopping centers, and more. When you decide to do some shopping in the local markets, it is preferable to carry some cash because you may find that some stores do not accept cards.
