Need to Know
The tour program usually includes Cairo, the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, Luxor, and Nile River boat trips; be sure to check the detailed itinerary and included activities in advance: The content of tour companies' programs can vary regarding the sites to be visited day by day, the duration of boat tours, extra tours, and free time. To avoid surprise expenses or unexpected changes in the program, it is important to carefully review the detailed written tour program and the list of included/excluded services before making a reservation. Research visa requirements, passport validity period, and possible vaccination recommendations before the tour: Some country nationals may need a visa to enter Egypt or may obtain a visa on arrival/online; as these conditions are frequently updated, it is essential to check official sources for the most current information. Also, your passport may be required to be valid for a certain period beyond the travel end date, and it is beneficial to obtain prior information about recommended vaccinations or diseases to be aware of. Due to the hot climate, lightweight and comfortable clothing, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended; have clothing that covers the shoulders and knees for religious sites: Particularly during daytime in Egypt, temperatures can be high, so using breathable fabrics and sun protection products is essential for comfort and health. Since there may be a dress code requiring shoulder and knee coverage for entry into mosques and other sacred sites, carrying a suitable shawl, long pants, or skirt is important for respect and adherence to the rules. Learn in detail what is included in the tour fee (flight tickets, accommodation, breakfast, dinner, museum entrance fees, extra tours, guiding services, tips, etc.): Each tour package may have different contents; some may only cover accommodation and breakfast, while others may include dinners, museum/archaeological site entrance fees, and guiding services. To avoid unexpected expenses later, it is crucial to clarify in advance which items are considered your responsibility, especially regarding domestic flights, the Nile trip, extra tours, mandatory tips, and personal expenses. Egyptian Pound (EGP) is in use, and the acceptance of credit cards can vary by region; it is advisable to carry a certain amount of cash and small bills: While credit card usage is common in large cities and tourist areas, cash is mostly preferred for small shops, local markets, and tip payments. Having smaller denomination bills can provide practicality by preventing issues with change during bargaining, public transport payments, and small purchases. It is important to show respect for local culture and religious values, to ask for permission before taking photos, and to avoid photographing official buildings and military areas: In Egypt, particularly in religious sites, obtaining prior permission when photographing people or moments of worship is both courteous and safe. Additionally, photographing may be prohibited or restricted in official institutions, military areas, checkpoints, and some bridges, so it is important to heed warning signs and your guide's instructions before using your device in these locations.
