Health:

The main health issues encountered by travellers to Egypt are stomach upsets, heat exhaustion, and sun burn. We recommend that you stay well-hydrated and protect yourself from the sun, particularly in the summer months. Medical facilities in Egypt's larger cities are very good and pharmacies are everywhere to cater to your needs.

I please urge you go get comprehensive travel insurance that covers medial expenses as well as any issues with trip cancellation/interruption.

I personally use World Nomads. But there is also Safety Wing, MedJet, and others.

Safety:

Egypt is quite safe and is a top tourist destination!  However, as when traveling in any foreign country it is always advisable to be aware of your surroundings and make smart decisions. But we will be in GREAT care with Yasser. I can attest to that.

Wherever I go, I always register with the U.S. Embassy. It allows notifications of any events and allows the embassy to be aware where of you in the country! Always a good thing. Check out the STEP program. 

Currency: 

Egyptian pounds

However USD are widely accepted!

Credit cards are accepted in major areas, check with your guide to assure authenticity.

Immunizations: 

Please refer to CDC website and your doctors discretion.

Culture:

Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country. There are no women working in hotels, restaurants, cruise ships or transportation. That is the culture. That means you will interact with a lot

of men during our tour. They are friendly and like to joke and flirt with women. Please don't take offense if someone offers you five camels - or more! - to marry them.... It is a friendly joke and not at all serious. They may tell you that you are as beautiful as Cleopatra, or that they are

King Rameses and they want you to be their Queen Nefertari. Their intention is to flatter you, and have fun. Please know that bus drivers, guards and tour guides will offer you a hand or arm getting on and off buses, or climbing on the pyramids or elsewhere. This is strictly to help

you. If you are uncomfortable with it, just politely decline. That being said, if anyone does anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, (not expected!! but just in case...)like invading your personal space, touching you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, or suggesting

something inappropriate, by all means SAY NO and make your boundaries clear.

Attire: 

-Cool(lightweight) and conservative

-Women will need to have heads(scarves), arms, and legs covered for entrance into    mosques/religious areas

-Sturdy walking shoes

-Be sure to check the weather ahead of time! Egypt is in the same hemisphere as us, so similar seasons but different climate.

-Regular bathing suits are OK for resorts and other hotel pool areas!

- Sunglasses and sun hat

Water:

Don't drink the tap water in Egypt. Bottled water is available everywhere; make sure the caps are unbroken.

● Use bottled water to brush your teeth.

● Don't open your mouth in the shower.

● Don't get ice in your drinks!!! Ice in many places is made from tap water and should be avoided. 

Adaptors/Plugs

Egypt has a voltage supply of 220V, and the plugs are the 2-round pin type that are common throughout Europe (except the UK).

Passport/Visa

You will need a valid passport to travel to Egypt, and the expiration date must be at least SIX MONTHS after the date of your departure from Egypt, April 28, 2026.  If you are from North America or Western Europe, you will need to buy a tourist visa at Cairo airport. 

It costs $25 US and must be paid in cash. WanderLuxe Tours employs airport agents to meet you when you get off the plane and help you get your visa, go through passport control, and get your luggage.

Is photography permitted?

Photography with mobile phones is permitted almost everywhere. There is sometimes an extra charge if you want to use a real camera to take photos. Always ask permission before taking pictures of people, especially women and children. Some local people dressed in traditional clothing will pose in front of temples and pyramids and expect a small tip if you take their picture.

In the event that you need to cancel your trip, these fees will be applied:

● NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT once trip is confirmed with minimum amount of guests..

You will fly in and out of Cairo. 

Please be mindful of dates AND TIMES of arrival. If you use Delta, many times the flights will get in at midnight or 1 am. Be sure to ARRIVE Aug 31 and leave Sept 5.

For example, if your flight arrives 12:15 am Aug 31,  you would probably need an additional pre-tour night (which can be arranged just let us know).  However, if your flight arrives Sept 1  12:15 am, this is OK, but just will leave you tired for the next day's tour that starts early!

Please let us know if you would like to book a pre or post night tour, or add on an options such as Alexandria or Jordan!
