You’re already thinking of packing your bags and heading to Egypt — a country rich in splendor and culture. But with such a different cultural landscape, many questions may arise.

You’ll also learn that administrative procedures are simple, and all you need is a valid visa to begin your journey to the pyramids.

All this and more is covered in our Egypt Travel Guide — your essential companion for a smooth, enjoyable trip.

Q 1: Is Egypt safe to visit, especially after the political events that took place after the Egyptian Revolution?

Tourists have been visiting Egypt for centuries, and Egyptians have a well-earned reputation for their warmth and kindness toward visitors. Egyptian cities are generally considered very safe, especially in areas frequented by tourists.

Since the Egyptian Revolution in 2011, there have been intermittent episodes of unrest, but these have typically occurred in limited areas within Cairo and a few other cities. Most tourist sites are far removed from such areas and have not been affected.

There is no negative sentiment toward foreign visitors among Egyptians. While the country continues to navigate political transitions, these have not significantly impacted the experience of tourists.

In fact, most of our clients consistently express how safe and welcome they felt during their trip to Egypt.

Q 2: Is Egypt considered a safe destination in comparison to other countries in the world?

Egypt generally has a very low crime rate. Travelers will be safe in Egypt if they take sensible precautions that would apply to any tourist destination around the world.

Q 3: Is there any special advice for women travelers while visiting Egypt?

There are many tourist areas in Egypt where no special dress concerns are necessary. However, in less touristic or more traditional places, modest dress is recommended out of respect for local culture.

Women are advised to avoid tight or revealing clothing, to keep shoulders and knees covered, and to avoid low-cut necklines. Men should also avoid wearing overly revealing clothing — for example, wearing shorts is not very common among Egyptians.

Dressing modestly is not just practical; it’s a simple way to show cultural respect and avoid unwanted attention.

Additionally, the Cairo metro has women-only cars, which can be more comfortable, especially during rush hours when trains are crowded.

Q 1: How can I obtain my visa to visit Egypt?

All visitors to Egypt must have a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival. In addition, all foreign citizens must obtain a visa to enter Egypt.

You can apply for a tourist visa at any Egyptian embassy or consulate worldwide.

Visa on arrival:
Citizens of the following countries can purchase a 1-month tourist visa upon arrival in Egypt, without applying in advance:

Australia
Canada
Croatia
European Union
Georgia
Japan
New Zealand
Norway
North Macedonia
Republic of Korea
Russian Federation
Serbia
Ukraine
United Kingdom
United States

This process only takes a few minutes at a bank window before customs in the airport.

Egypt offers three main types of entry visas:

Entry Visa: Valid for one month; granted to any non-Egyptian entering the country without a prior visa.
Transit Visa: For travelers passing through Egypt for a short period.
Tourist Visa: Valid up to 3 months, single or multiple entries; most travelers obtain this in advance through an Egyptian embassy or consulate.

Q 2: How do I apply for a visa to enter Egypt if I live away from the country of my nationality?

If the traveler has a residence permit to live in another country, they can apply for a visa from the Egyptian embassy or consulate in that country or buy a visa upon arrival in the Cairo, Hurghada, or Luxor Airports. If they do not hold a residency permit, they must obtain their visa from the Egyptian embassy/consulate in the country that issued their passport.

Q 3: If I have already obtained a visa to enter Sinai, will I be able to visit other destinations in Egypt?

The visa for Sinai allows tourists to travel anywhere in the Sinai Peninsula; however, if they want to visit another part of Egypt, like Cairo, Hurghada, Luxor, or Aswan, they will need to obtain a new visa using the methods described in question 1

Q 4: Can I extend the period of my tourist visa beyond its expiration?

It is possible to extend a tourist, but this requires obtaining an extension from the Mogamma building in the Tahrir Complex in Cairo or other governmental offices in another city. There is a two-week grace period after your visa expires during which you may purchase an extension without being subject to a fine.

Q 5: Can I combine my visit to Egypt with another country?

Tourists visiting Egypt sometimes visit other countries in the Middle East or North Africa in the same trip. C La Vie Egypt offers tourism services in Jordan, Turkey and Dubai, which you can research on our website.

Q 6: Are there direct flights from USA to Egypt?

Yes, EgyptAir, the Egyptian official airline, organizes direct flights from the United States to Cairo in particular. There is a flight from New York, the JFK Airport, direct to Cairo five times a week. The journey takes approximately 12 hours. Egypt Air also flies from Los Angles directly to Cairo. This journey takes approximately 17 hours; however, most tourists coming from the United States stop either in Europe (usually London or Paris) or in North Africa (usually Morocco).

Q 7: If I am arriving in the Cairo Airport coming from USA, which terminal will I be landing at?

Your arrival terminal depends on the airline that you are using. Western European and American airlines mostly use terminal number 3, which is also called the New Terminal in Egypt. On the other hand, Egypt Air, Arab, African, and Eastern European airlines usually land in terminal number 1.

Q 8: Can I travel to Egypt by sea?

Although Egypt has many ports on both the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, the number of travelers arriving by boat or ferry has decreased significantly due to the popularity of affordable air travel and package holidays.

The only current exception is the ferry crossing from Aqaba (Jordan) to Nuweiba (Sinai). Ferry services that once connected Greece or Cyprus to Egypt's Mediterranean ports are no longer operating.

Several cruise lines still operate in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, stopping at various ports in Egypt and Jordan.

C La Vie Egypt offers short private tours specially designed for cruise passengers who prefer not to join the cruise company’s excursions. Upon arrival, port authorities will grant a visa, and the tour can begin directly from the port.

For more details, please visit the Shore Excursions section of our website if you are planning a cruise that includes Egypt.

Q 1: Can I bring a personal supply of cigarettes and alcohol with me when I am visiting Egypt?

It is always recommended for travelers who wish to have their own supply of cigarettes and alcohol with them in Egypt to purchase them upon arrival.

The allowance for cigarettes or alcohol brought to Egypt from another other country is 1 liter of alcohol and 200 cigarettes.

Q 1: Do Egyptians speak languages other than Arabic?

English is studied in school all over Egypt. This is why most Egyptians, who live in the cities, speak or understand at least some English words or phrases. Fewer Egyptians can speak French, Italian, Spanish, and German; however, professionals, who work in the tourism sector, are accustomed to visitors who cannot speak Arabic and they will speak enough English and other languages to fulfill the needs of most travelers.

Q 2: Do I have to learn Arabic in order to enjoy my visit to Egypt?

Many travelers enjoy their stay in Egypt without learning a single word of Arabic; however, it is always good to learn a few Arabic words to expressing greetings or thanks. If you are planning to visit some places other than popular tourist destinations, it is advisable to learn some Arabic phrases. Generally, Egyptians are friendly and are happy to help anyone, especially foreigners and tourists, even if there is a language barrier.

Q 1: What are the opening hours for monuments in Egypt?

Most of the monuments, historical sites, and museums in Egypt open from 9 AM until 5 PM. Open-air historical sites, like the Pyramids of Giza for example, are open from 8 AM until sunset.

During Ramadan, the holy month of the Islamic calendar, opening hours may change significantly with shops closed during the middle of the day and staying open much later.

Q 1: Is it allowed for non-Muslims to enter historical mosques in Egypt?

Non-Muslims are generally welcome to visit mosques in Egypt; however, it is always advisable to seek permission before entering mosques outside Cairo and Alexandria where people are less accustomed to tourists. Tourists and foreigners are welcome in almost all mosques in Egypt, except mosques where the relatives of the prophet Mohamed were buried like the Mosque of El Hussein and the Mosque of Sayeda Zeinab. Tourists are more than welcome to visit most mosques at anytime expect when they are being used for prayer, on Friday and during the five prayers of the day.

Q 2: Is there any special dress code to be followed during visiting a mosque in Egypt?

There aren’t really special clothes to be put on while visiting a mosque in Egypt; however, modest dress would be highly recommended and in some mosques, women will be asked to cover their hair and perhaps their arms and legs. Both women and men will be asked to remove their shoes before entering a mosque.

Q 3: What are the most important historical mosques in Cairo?

Cairo, nicknamed as the ‘City of a Thousand Minarets’, features a large number of remarkable and historical mosques.

In Egypt, churches are treated the same as mosques. Most churches and monasteries welcome tourists and foreigners, except during Lent. Modest dress is also advisable while visiting Christian monuments in Egypt.

Q 5: What are the most notable Christian monuments in Egypt?

Christianity arrived in Egypt as early as the 1st century AD and as the birthplace of Christian monasticism, Egypt hosts many interesting churches and monasteries. These include the Monastery of Saint Catharine in Sinai, the Monastery of Deir Abu Makkar and the Monastery of the Syrians in Wadi El Natrun, and the Monasteries of Saint Anthony and Saint Paul near the Red Sea to the North East of Hurghada. There are many historical churches in Egypt as well, especially in Cairo and Alexandria, like the Church of Saint Barbara and the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo.

Q 1: Can I take pictures while visiting the monuments in Egypt?

Photography is allowed in most of the historical sites and museums in Egypt, but some of them have extra charges for taking in a camera. However, in some museums, like the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, and some historical sites, like the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, photography is prohibited and visitors are asked to leave their cameras at the reception before entering.

Q 2: Can I take photographs of the people, streets, etc. in Egypt?

Egyptians are well known all over the world for their tolerance and hospitality; however, it is always polite to ask permission before taking a photograph of people, especially women, and stores or products.

Q 2: What different types of hotels are there in hotels in Egypt?

Accommodations for travelers in Egypt fall across a broad range—everything from world class luxury to simple hostel accommodations are available. The nicest hotels compare well with luxury hotels anywhere, coming from international hotel chains like Movenpick, Hilton, Four Seasons, and Sofitel. A step down from these is a variety of local hotels that ranges from luxurious to simple. Egyptian hotels have their own rating system that loosely classifies them on a 5-star scale; however, this scale is different from international standards used elsewhere.

Q 1: Are there any health issues that I should worry about in Egypt?

Generally speaking, tourists face few unique health problems in Egypt, but occasionally travelers experience some gastric disturbance resulting from drinking tap water or eating from a local restaurant not recommended by their tour guides or the receptionist in hotel. Some travelers might suffer sunburn or heatstroke from the heat and sun during the summer if they are not careful; however, taking the proper precautions and drinking bottled water can eliminate any health risks.

Q 2: Are there certain vaccinations to be taken before traveling to Egypt?

There are no obligatory vaccinations that should be taken before being granted with the visa of Egypt. However, it would be recommended for the senior people and for young children to take vaccinations against Hepatitis C, Typhoid, and an oral dosage of Tetanus.

Q 1: What is the official currency in Egypt?

The official currency of Egypt is the Egyptian pound, or “Geneh” in Arabic, and commonly abbreviated as LE. One Egyptian pound is 100 piastres, or "irsh" in Arabic. There are banknotes of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 LE and there are coins of 25 piastres, 50 piastres, and 1 pound. It can sometimes be difficult to find change for large bills so it is always advisable to have change on hand for taxis and tips.

Q 2: Will I be able to exchange dollars, Euros, or other currencies in Egypt?

There are a large number of banks and exchange offices that can change cash and travelers’ checks in Egypt. Moreover, many touristic shops, restaurants, and bars will actually accept dollars or Euros at rates that are relatively close to the official ones. Makes sure you know the current exchange rate of dollars or Euros to Egyptian pounds.

Q 3: How common is the use of credit cards in Egypt?

Credit cards are widely used in Egypt in hotels, many shops, restaurants, and cafes. Most stores in markets like Khan El Khalili and the Luxor touristic market accept credit cards. The most common types of credit cards used in Egypt are Visa, Master Card, and American Express.

Q 1: Is it a common practice to give tips in Egypt?

Due to the low salaries of many professionals in Egypt, many people depend on tips, or baksheesh as it is called in Egypt, as a major part of their income. Therefore, tipping is considered customary in Egypt.

Q 2: How much should I tip?

The amount of tipping (baksheesh) in Egypt depends on the situation:

In restaurants: It's customary to tip 5% to 10% directly to the waiter, even if a service charge is already included in the bill — because the service tax typically does not go to the staff.
For small favors: Such as carrying luggage or parking a car, a tip of just a few Egyptian pounds (no more than five) is appropriate.
Public bathrooms: It's common to see someone tending to the restroom; giving them 1 Egyptian pound is suitable.

Tipping tour guides and drivers is completely optional, but highly appreciated when you've received excellent service. Feel free to tip according to the value of your experience.

Q 1: Will it be easy for me to find transportation from the Cairo Airport to other destinations in the city?

There are several transportation options available from Cairo International Airport:

Taxi: The most common and fastest method. Upon exiting the airport, you'll find many taxi drivers offering rides. It's best to avoid the old black taxis as they do not use meters and may overcharge. The newer white taxis use meters, but you might still need to negotiate. For a trip to Central Cairo, expect to pay more than 60 EGP.
Limousine Service: Offered directly by Cairo Airport. It’s more expensive than taxis, but still affordable compared to transportation costs in North America or Europe.
Airport Shuttle Bus: A recommended and convenient option. You can reserve in advance by calling 19970 if you are already in Egypt.
Private Car Hire: Available at the Arrival Hall desk. It may involve a short wait and costs more than a taxi, but offers privacy and avoids fare negotiation. You'll enjoy a comfortable, private van.

Q 2: Are there any trains that go from Cairo to major cities in Egypt?

The trains in Egypt fall generally into two categories; the air-conditioned trains that include the luxury wagons and local trains that stop in each village or town every 15 to 20 minutes. The local trains are crowded and do not provide much in the way of comfort. The A/C trains usually offer first and second-class cars. Both offer good options for travelers, but for a modest extra charge, the first class cars offer larger, more comfortable seats. There are around 15 A/C trains from Cairo to Alexandria everyday and five from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan, which also stop in the major cities of the Nile Valley on the way. There are also two overnight sleeper trains from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan, which will provide you with a private cabin and a hot dinner. Demand for trains in Egypt can be very high. It is recommended that you book your tickets several days in advance.

Q 3: Is it a good idea to take the train from Cairo to distant destinations in Egypt like Aswan?

Generally speaking, the standard of railway service in Egypt is quite good. The Egyptian railway network connects major regions such as the Nile Valley, the Delta, and the Suez Canal. In the summer, there are also trains running to the resort areas along the Mediterranean coast.

Due to the relatively high cost of domestic flights in Egypt, they may not be ideal for budget-conscious travelers. While trains take longer, they provide a more affordable option and a scenic journey through the Nile Valley.

Sleeper trains from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan are specially designed for tourists. They depart Cairo at 9:00 PM, arriving in Luxor at approximately 4:00 AM and Aswan around 7:00 AM. These trains are comfortable, offering private cabins and hot meals onboard.

Bus travel is also available to most destinations across Egypt. Buses depart from Turgoman Bus Station, located near the main train station in Downtown Cairo. They offer another affordable and widely used travel option.

Q 4: Can I travel by train from Cairo to Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh?

No, the railway service in Egypt does not pass the Suez Canal to reach any cities in Sinai and it doesn’t go further south than the Ismailia along the Red Sea coast. Other than airplanes, tourists can take the buses from Cairo to reach cities like Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada. It is also possible to hire a taxi to take you to these places, but this can be expensive without traveling companions to divide the cost.

Q 5: Is it a good idea for tourists to ride in the public buses of cities like Cairo and Alexandria

The buses in cities like Cairo and Alexandria literally cover the whole city. These buses are cheap (fare is less than 1 Egyptian pound), it can be difficult to know where each bus route will take you and the buses are sometimes extremely crowded. Therefore, it is recommended to use other transportation means, like taxis or the metro when in Cairo.

Q 6: Is it advisable to ride in the underground metro in Cairo?

The Cairo Metro is one of the best and fastest ways to travel within the capital, especially given how crowded the streets are with traffic and pedestrians throughout the day. Although it can get quite packed during rush hours, the metro remains a very efficient way to move around Central Cairo.

The metro currently has three lines:

Line 1: From Helwan in the south to Al Marg in the northeast.
Line 2: From Shubra in the north to Giza in the west.
Line 3: Still under development, but eventually expected to reach Cairo International Airport. Only a few stations are currently operating.

The metro fare is just 1 Egyptian pound for traveling between any two stations on any of the three lines.

Each train includes two carriages reserved for women throughout the day — a helpful option especially during crowded times.

Q 1: What are the sights and activities that are not be missed while visiting Egypt?

Egypt, with its rich and distinctive history, offers countless attractions and unforgettable experiences. A single trip is never enough to explore everything, but here are some highlights and must-do activities that travelers should not miss:

Visiting the Pyramids of Giza
Exploring the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities
Visiting the Saladin Citadel and Mohammed Ali Mosque
