Shipping Information
Yes, Egypt is generally safe for tourists, and millions of visitors travel to the country each year without issue. Tourism is a top priority for the government, and security is high at all major sites (Pyramids, temples, airports). We always recommend booking with a reputable tour operator and staying within established tourist destinations like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts.
Most travelers need a visa. Citizens of many countries (including the USA, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia) can obtain a Visa on Arrival at Egyptian airports (approx. $25 USD, cash preferred) or apply for an E-Visa online through the official government portal at least 7 days before travel. Please check your specific country’s eligibility before booking.
The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April. During these months, the weather is cooler and pleasant, perfect for exploring the Pyramids and walking around Luxor and Aswan. The summer months (May to September) can be very hot, especially in the south, though this is a great time for Red Sea beach resorts or budget travelers looking for lower rates.
The official currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). While many tour operators and hotels accept US Dollars, Euros, or British Pounds, it is best to have Egyptian Pounds for small purchases, souvenirs, and tipping. ATMs are widely available in major cities and hotels.
There is no strict dress code, but modest dress is respectful and recommended.
In Cities/Sites: It is polite to cover your shoulders and knees (for both men and women). Loose, breathable fabrics like linen are best for the heat.
At Resorts (Hurghada/Sharm): Normal swimwear and shorts are perfectly acceptable.
In Mosques: Women must cover their hair, and both men and women must cover shoulders and legs.
Tipping (known as “Baksheesh”) is part of the culture in Egypt. While voluntary, it is expected for good service. A general guideline is:
Restaurants: 10% of the bill.
Drivers/Guides: A modest amount per day (e.g., $5–$10 USD equivalent depending on service quality).
Hotel Staff: Small change (EGP) for housekeeping or porters.
(Note: Customize this based on your actual packages) Generally, our tour packages include private transportation and a professional guide. Entrance tickets to historical sites are excluded (unless stated otherwise) to give you flexibility, as ticket prices can change. We can assist you in purchasing tickets at the official gate prices.
Absolutely. We specialize in tailor-made holidays. Whether you want to add an extra day in Cairo, include a hot air balloon ride in Luxor, or relax by the Red Sea, simply contact us and our experts will build an itinerary that suits your schedule and budget.
Most hotels and cafes offer free Wi-Fi, though the speed can be inconsistent. On Nile Cruises, Wi-Fi is often chargeable and may be slow while sailing. We highly recommend purchasing a local SIM card (Vodafone or Orange) upon arrival at Cairo Airport. It is affordable (around $10–$15 for generous data) and ensures you stay connected with high-speed 4G throughout your trip.
Mobile photography is free and allowed at almost all historical sites and museums. However, using a professional camera (DSLR) or a tripod often requires purchasing a special photography ticket at the entrance. Important Warning: Drones are strictly prohibited in Egypt. Do not bring a drone into the country, as it will likely be confiscated at the airport, and you may face legal issues.
