Safety & Travel Advice

For ensuring a lovely risk-free trip, it's essential to stay updated on the most recent travel recommendations on safety in Egypt.

Natural Emergencies

Although they are not common in Egypt, natural disasters such as earthquakes and sandstorms can occur. To get emergency alerts while visiting Egypt, register your trip with the embassy.

Crime and Safety in Egypt

Petty crime, with a particular emphasis on defrauding tourists, can happen in popular tourist destinations. For example, you can be very sure that someone is trying to con you out of money if they tell you that there is a shortcut or that the entry you're going to is closed. These situations can be avoided by downloading offline maps, so you always know where you're going and are alert.

Although this shouldn't stop you from travelling to this enigmatic country, Egypt is vulnerable to terrorism, so be on the lookout for threats and heed local authorities advise.

Traffic & Getting Around

Road conditions can be dangerous, and traffic can be heavy in Egypt, especially in Cairo. When on vacation in Egypt, it's more cost-effective to take a taxi, hire a driver, or go on a planned trip than to drive yourself.

Travel Insurance

For your vacation in Egypt, we strongly advise obtaining travel insurance. You can engage in a variety of outdoor activities, with complete peace of mind when you have insurance. Additionally, it will protect you in the event that your flights are cancelled, or your luggage is misplaced. You will be covered if you fall unwell when in Egypt or require any medical attention.
