13 Necessary Things to Know Before Going to Egypt

If you’re going to Egypt for the first time, here are the 13 necessary things you need to know to save yourself time and mental energy.

This is a blog post about the most important things you need to know before going to Egypt. Every time you visit a new country, it can feel like a mystery; sometimes it can be tricky to find out about all those small nuanced things before you arrive. I’ve included in this blog post everything that I wish I had known before I went to Egypt in January 2024, so you can avoid the same mistakes that I did. I’ve included information about Egypt’s black market, finding decent accommodation, using tap water, etc. to show you how to plan a trip to Egypt.

Egypt is a land of contrasts. It’s possible to love it and hate it in equal parts. I hope this blog post will prepare you enough that your trip will fall closer to the side of ‘love’ along the experience scale. So, I offer you my advice on traveling to Egypt.

Know Before Going to Egypt: You Need an Entry Visa

Most foreign visitors need a visa when visiting Egypt. Click here to see a list of the Middle Eastern (and a couple of Asian) countries that don’t need a visa to visit Egypt. Scroll to the very bottom of the page to see a list of the countries that DO need a visa to enter Egypt. Hint: it’s almost all countries, including Argentina, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.

It should be noted that Canadians cannot enter Egypt with an E-visa, nor with a visa on arrival; they should arrange their visa in advance. If you’re Canadian, this is definitely something you should know before going to Egypt.

Egypt E-visa

It is possible to arrange an e-visa in advance before arriving in Egypt. You should do this a day or two before your flight. In my personal opinion, it is easier and less of a hassle to just get the visa on arrival. It leaves less room for error or issue.

Visa on Arrival in Egypt

The cost of the Egypt visa on arrival is $25 and must be paid in cash. You cannot pay the visa on arrival to Egypt with a credit card. Try to have USD, Euro, or English Pounds with you in advance. If you don’t have cash with you, there is an ATM where you can take out money. If you’re arriving in Cairo, check out this blog post for everything you need to know about Egypt’s capital city.

You’ll purchase the visa from the Misr Bank at the Cairo airport. They will give you the visa, which is a small piece of paper. Then you’ll take that visa to the immigration desk where they will stick the visa to your passport and stamp it.

Sinai visa

The majority of foreign visitors enter Egypt via the capital of Cairo. However, some people, mostly divers, go directly to the Sinai peninsula. If you’re ONLY going to Dahab, Sharm El-Sheikh, Nuweiba, and Taba then you don’t need the full Egypt visa. You can enter the Sinai for free for 15 days. You should double-check if your citizenship is permitted to enter the Sinai visa-free.

If you do decide to stay in the Sinai longer than the free 15 days, then you can go to the Sharm El Sheikh Visa office to ask for an extension. At that point, you’ll be asked to pay the $25 visa entry which is valid for all of Egypt. To renew, bring two photocopies of the passport ID page, two copies of the visa issued on entry to Egypt, and one passport photo.

Know Before Going to Egypt: What’s up with the money?

Money is one of the things to know before going to Egypt. I wish I had known more about it before I went. I didn’t even know there was a black market before I went, but everywhere I went I was asked to exchange money.

Using cash in Egypt

Egypt is very much a cash society. You will want to have Egyptian pounds on you wherever you go. Having small bills is also a good idea for going to the bathroom in public spaces.

Beyond carrying Egyptian Pounds, you should also make sure you bring enough cash in USD. There are two main reasons for this: Money exchange and paying for trips. I’ll address the details of the Egyptian Black Market below.

If you choose to do certain tours or trips, they will often ask you to pay in USD. If you want to pay in Egyptian Pounds, they will charge you a much higher price than the official exchange rate. I paid for both the Mt Sinai hiking trip and the hot air balloon ride in Luxor with cold hard cash. Paying in USD is always an option, even if you’re told a price in Egyptian Pounds.

Using your credit card in Egypt

While Egypt is still very much a cash-based society, there are a few places where credit cards are accepted and a few where credit cards are required.

We were able to use a credit card to pay at the:

• Supermarket
• Convenience store
• Some coffee shops/restaurants

We were required to pay with a credit card at these places:

• All museums
• All tourist sites (pyramids, tombs, temples, etc.)
• Online bus purchase with GoBus (though it often didn’t work for us and we elicited the help of local friends to purchase for us- either online or in person at the bus station)
• Online airplane tickets

Black Market in Egypt

As of January 2024, these are the exchange rates:

Official rate: 1 USD = 30 EGP
Black Market rate: 1 USD = 50-65 EGP

You should know before going to Egypt about the Black Market as the idea of it can seem scary and overwhelming. I understand if you don’t want to deal with it, and prefer to simply exchange money at banks or official exchange counters. However, it is not as perilous as the word sounds.

When you walk around the street, go to restaurants, etc. people will often ask if you want to exchange money and they’ll do it right there on the spot for you. You both benefit from this exchange. I didn’t run into this as much in Cairo as I did in other cities, but if you ask around, you’ll certainly be able to find someone to do this exchange for you.

For example, when I was in Dahab, the manager at the nail salon asked if I wanted to exchange money, so I exchanged my 70 euros, at an exchange rate of 55 EGP.

Also, while in Dahab I met some people who do the black market rate at 1 USD to 50 EGP. I was able to transfer them USD using my Wise account, and then they gave me the cash in Egyptian Pounds. If you don’t already use Wise, I strongly suggest opening an account; it is the best international banking system out there.https://wise.com/invite/dic/nicholep12

Know Before Going to Egypt: What prices are like

There is a wide range of prices in Egypt, but from a Western perspective, most things are very affordable. Food in small local restaurants is of course much more affordable than at restaurants catering to Western tourists. In terms of cities, I found Cairo to be the most affordable, and Dahab to be the most expensive.

Here is a list of food prices we paid:

• Fuul breakfast in Cairo, 30 EGP per person
• Fuul breakfast in Dahab, 50 EGP per person
• Tea in Cairo, 5 EGP
• Tea in Dahab, 20 EGP
• Lunch in Luxor at a restaurant next to the Nile, 175 EGP
• Chinese food dinner in Dahab, 200 EGP

Here is a short list of activity prices we paid:

• Egyptian Museum in Cairo, 450 EGP
• Giza Pyramids, 500 EGP
• Trip to Mt Sinai, 25 USD
• Hot air balloon ride in Luxor, 55 USD
• Round Trip transportation between Luxor and Dendera, 2000 EGP

When you’re in any market in Egypt, they will always give you a high price first. It is expected to negotiate. Cut the price that they tell you in half. Then go from there until you reach a price you’re both happy with.

Know Before Going to Egypt: Tip for everything

One of the most important things to know before going to Egypt is that tips are expected for everything. Tip your tour guides. Tip the drivers. Tip (10%) at restaurants. Guys who point out good photo spots at the pyramids will ask you for a tip. Security guards at temples who point to a nice mural, or take you to a hidden room will ask you for a tip. People who offer to take your photo want a tip.

I’ll be honest, but sometimes it gets tiring trying to figure out who you are and are not supposed to tip. It also starts to feel frustrating when people ask you for a tip when they do something you never asked for or wanted.

Know Before Going to Egypt: Expect a Headache

Egypt can feel overwhelming and give you a headache, which you should prepare for mentally; it’s something important to know before going to Egypt. It would help if you were mentally ready to say “no, thank you” a million times and often to the same people repeatedly. It will test your patience.

Sometimes it’s hard to get motivated to go out into the city just knowing what is waiting for you out there. You are never anonymous (unless you look Egyptian), so you will get a ton of attention. Sometimes it’s fun, and other times it’s exhausting.

They’re pushy to get you into their shops and if you go, it’s hard to leave. There were many times I did want to buy something but I didn’t because it was all too exhausting.

The very unfortunate side effect of all of the hassling is that you start to feel like you can’t trust anyone. There are so many amazing people in Egypt who want to have genuine interactions with you. This is the best part of travel. But because there are also so many people who try to trick you and overcharge you for everything, you start to feel distrustful of people. I hate saying that because I love meeting local people, but it is the regrettable consequence of the tourism culture in Egypt.

By the time it came to leave Egypt, I felt relieved. Even getting out of the airport was a nightmare though. There were long lines and everyone cuts you. You go through multiple X-ray machines. Sometimes people working at the airport even ask you for tips. This is something you should know before going to Egypt, so you don’t get caught off guard.

Know Before Going to Egypt: Pay for the bathroom

Once again, you should expect to pay any time you use a public restroom. Using the bathroom often costs between 5-10 EGP, and many times there is no toilet paper. You should always carry your own tissues or toilet paper with you around Egypt. Also, it is unlikely you will find soap in any bathrooms, so bring hand sanitizer.

If you eat at a restaurant, you can usually use the restroom for free but the toilet paper/soap situation is the same. Every once in a while, you might find toilet paper in a bathroom, which is usually in a large metal circle on the wall at the front of the bathroom. You’ll need to grab some paper before you enter the stall.

Surprisingly, you are even expected to pay for the bathroom in sites you have already paid to enter, like the Valley of the Kings, for example. At airports, you are often expected to tip the bathroom attendants. This is something you should know before going to Egypt, and make sure to keep small bills with you for this reason.

Know Before Going to Egypt: Food & Drink

Water in Egypt

Understanding the water situation is certainly an important factor to know before going to Egypt. You cannot drink the tap water in Egypt. We found that many places we stayed in had filters on the sink, so we were still easily able to fill up our water bottles from the faucet.

In the cases where that didn’t exist, I used either my LifeStraw filtered water bottle or we purchased a large 5L water bottle from the nearest shop. From there, we filled up our individual bottles or a pitcher in the house.

While we wouldn’t use tap water for regular consumption, it was completely fine to use for brushing our teeth or boiling to make tea or coffee. I never got sick during my month in Egypt, but I’ll go TMI here and say that I had diarrhea for the last 2 weeks in Egypt. This is something you should know before going to Egypt because a lot of people believe you should use bottled water for these simple tasks, but it is just not necessary.

Food in Egypt

When it comes to Egyptian food, it is simply the best. We loved the street food from the small restaurants down alleyways just as much as the food in more upscale restaurants. What we loved most was going to have Egyptian breakfast, which is many small dishes that you eat with bread.

It often includes full (made with fava beans), baba ganoush (made with eggplant), tamaaya (like falafel), eggs, tomato/cucumber salad, and sometimes cheese. Another popular dish is koshari, pictured above. Koshari is a dish full of carbohydrates: rice, noodles, lentils, etc. covered with tomato sauce.

We never felt worried about the food and it was always delicious. Eating at the small falafel stands along the streets is an affordable way to eat throughout the day. I did see a few American fast food chains (KFC, McDonalds, Burger King) in case you ever get sick of Egyptian food. Dahab had several international options: Chinese, Thai, Greek, etc.

Know Before Going to Egypt: Should I Take a Tour?

While doing our research, this is something we wanted to know before going to Egypt. I’m not normally a traveler who takes a lot of tours. I have a hard time concentrating when being overloaded with information, while simultaneously staring at incredibly beautiful and overwhelmingly impressive structures. My focus is constantly divided.

In Egypt, there is a time and place for both doing and not doing a tour. Sometimes having a tour guide is incredibly helpful, and other times when you just want to go off on your own. Here I’ll lay out both sides of the argument:

You should take a tour in Egypt

Hiring a tour guide when the sites are a bit far outside of the city, or when you want to see several places in one day. For example, we hired a guide and a driver (details below) in Cairo to go to Saqqara, Dahshur, and Giza all in one day. This was worth it because it made for a long, but easy day. We didn’t have to worry about getting transport to each place. We just had a dedicated person waiting to take us door-to-door at every location.

In addition, the information provided to us about these historical sites was invaluable. Our guide, Abram, was incredibly knowledgeable. He helped us to better understand the history and connect the dots between each site.

Beyond the knowledge and transportation benefits, having a guide helps to ease the annoyance of touts at the site. When you go to the Great Pyramids of Giza, there are a ton of guys asking if you want a guide, ride a camel, ride a carriage, take a photo, buy a scarf, etc. When they see you with a guide, they do not persist and mostly leave you alone. This was apparent when we looked around at other groups being followed and hassled without end. Having a guide present made our time there much more enjoyable.

In Luxor, we took a tour of 5 sites: Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Temple of Hatshepsut, Temple of Habu, and Memnon. This was well worth it because they were on the West Bank and far apart. Without a tour, it would have been very difficult to see as much as we did in one day.

You should not take a tour in Egypt

Don’t take a tour if you’re not in the mood. We did tours in both Cairo and Luxor to see the main sites, and we’re really glad we did that. But by the end of our trip, we were really ‘toured out.’ Even though having a guide would have been beneficial for gathering more information, we were just not in the mood.

Therefore, we decided not to do tours to places that were easy to reach from the city. We did not do a tour of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo because there was a lot of information posted inside the museum. We did not do a tour of Karnak or the Temple of Luxor because they are basically in the center of the city and are easy to walk to.

A good rule of thumb is: If you have to drive there, you might as well pay for a driver and a guide. If you can get there easily on your own, don’t bother with a tour. But also, if you want to do a tour, or if you don’t, you don’t have to listen to me. Just do what feels right in your heart. If you don’t mind spending the money to do every tour in Egypt, go for it!

Know Before Going to Egypt: How’s the Internet?

If you’re just on holiday you might not care that much about the quality of the internet. But if you’re a digital nomad, or on a business trip, this is something you should know before going to Egypt. We found that the quality of the internet was dependent on the city we were in. For example, Cairo and Dahab had decent internet. Hurghada and Luxor had bad internet.

In Luxor, there were daily blackouts across the city. When I say daily blackouts, I mean it. Every. Single. Day. This is a city-wide issue, not just a specific hotel issue. The problem was that the blackouts were always at different times of day, so it was impossible to predict when they would happen each day, which made it difficult to get work done.

It’s also important to note that Egypt does not allow e-SIMs in the country. Therefore, we could not get data from a local phone company like Vodafone or Orange directly. We had to use Airalo, which connects to the Orange network.

This network was very bad. When we were out in the city, we very rarely had service on our phones which made it difficult to do things like consult the map (you should download the offline map), or order an Uber.

While in Egypt, I used a combination of Airalo and Google Voice to keep my US phone number.

The friend I was traveling with teaches English online. He could NOT teach in Hurghada or Luxor because the connection was so bad and so unpredictable. If you need reliable internet, I suggest purchasing a small travel modem from Vodafone for about $28. That way you always have the internet with you. Keep it in your bag when out in the city so you can connect to its hotspot when your phone doesn’t get service.

Know Before Going to Egypt: Research your Accommodation

Deciding where to stay in advance, before you’ve seen the place is a big factor that you should know before going to Egypt.

Very often, places do not appear in reality as they do online. This happened to us more than once. Oftentimes we booked places that said there were 2 beds but ended up sharing a bed because in reality, the “extra bed” was a loveseat sofa.

It was the worst in Hurghada when we thought we were booking a stay at a ‘resort,’ which turned out to be an unfinished ghost town building with no running water.

My advice on traveling to Egypt, when looking for accommodation, is to always read the reviews. If there are not at least 5 positive reviews, pass and move on. But don’t stop there. If you find a resort or hotel on Airbnb that looks promising, look it up on Google Maps and check the reviews there as well. Check Booking. Check HostelWorld. Anything. You’ll need to put a little extra time into checking that your accommodation is as good as it might appear online.

Here are a few good places to stay in Egypt

Where to stay in Cairo

Sphinx Golden Gate Pyramids View

If you’re looking to stay in Giza to wake up to a view of the pyramids, then the Sphinx Golden Gate Pyramids View Hotel is a great place to start. I don’t suggest spending all your days at a hotel near the pyramids as it is a bit far from the rest of Cairo, but it’s a great experience for a day or two. From here you can get a view of the pyramids, including the light show at night.

Apartment on a rooftop in Downtown

In downtown Cairo, you can find several great private apartments with balcony views. We stayed in a great Airbnb in the Maadi neighborhood but found ourselves wishing we had stayed a bit more central. Just remember that when you go on a balcony in Cairo to soak in the views, you’ll also be inhaling the pollution that is constantly hanging over the city.

Where to stay in Dahab

Elite Residence

We stayed for one entire week at the Elite Residence in Dahab and enjoyed it. We experienced the best internet here in all of Egypt. There is a rooftop terrace with a traditional Egyptian-style tent with tables where you can have tea, smoke shisha, or play backgammon. The owner is a great guy.

BOOK the Elite Residence HERE

Diamond Dahab House

The Diamond Dahab House is right along the main walkway that goes through Dahab. However, because it is in the north section of the beach, it is much quieter and peaceful. The rooms are clean, the service is good, and you can get great views of the sea with some of the rooms.

BOOK the Diamond Dahab House HERE

Where to stay in Luxor

Nile Panorama

We stayed for a full week at the Nile Panorama in Luxor. Despite the blackouts and bad internet (Egypt issue, not hotel issue), we enjoyed staying here. The owner, Yasser, speaks English, German, and Russian. He will help you to arrange any tours or transportation you need around Luxor without ripping you off. He’s very honest. Laundry service and an incredible breakfast served every morning on the rooftop terrace are both included in the price. Beautiful rooftop swimming pool. This hotel is on the West Bank of Luxor, so it is very relaxed over here.

BOOK the Nile Panorama Hotel HERE

Pavillon Winter Luxor

If you’re looking for a bit of luxury in the East Bank, the Pavillon Winter Luxor could be what you’re looking for. It’s in the heart of Luxor, just next to the Luxor Temple, but you can escape the city chaos when you enter in its doors. They have an inner garden and a swimming pool.

BOOK the Pavillon Winter Luxor Hotel HERE

Know Before Going to Egypt: You cannot see everything

It’s very easy to get excited by all the potential to see cool, ancient sites, but you should know before going to Egypt that you just can’t see everything. It would take a lifetime to see everything that Egypt has to offer, from incredible diving to thousand-year-old statues.

I’ve seen some people create a one-week Egypt itinerary that involves them going to seven different cities with stops in between. Sure, it might be technically possible to do this, but will you enjoy it? Egypt is a big country, so if you’re spending half of every day in transit just to get to the next spot, you might start to hate your life. Also, fast travel is much more expensive.

My suggestion is to think about the total time you have in Egypt and your main priorities within the country. Doing day trips is also a great way to maximize the sites you see without exhausting yourself. For example, there are several day trips from Luxor you can do, both to the north and the south. You can go in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and rest in the evening while you have dinner along the Nile.

Sure, I would have loved to go to Siwaa in the west, or Aswan and Abu Simbel down south, or even take a cruise along the Nile. But adding all that extra travel time is not only financially cumbersome, but also logistically overwhelming, and mentally exhausting.

Deciding where to visit in Egypt is like the quality-time-cost triangle. You can only have two.

Know Before Going to Egypt: What is transportation like?

In a country so touristy, one might think that Egypt would get the transportation situation sorted out. While it is manageable, it is not always easy. We can also divide transportation up into two categories: intercity (between cities) and intracity (within the city).

Intracity Transportation in Egypt

Taxi/Uber

All cities of course have regular taxis. Expect to negotiate a price with the driver before agreeing to get in. Uber is available in theory, but they will most likely message you to pay in cash instead of card through the app. We used Uber in Hurghada and this was our experience. We tried to use Uber in Cairo, but we were unable to because the service was so bad on our phones.

Metro

Cairo was the only city we visited in Egypt that had a metro. It was very affordable and reliable for the most part. You need to wait in line to get your ticket. If you’re interested in further details about using the metro, you can read about it here in this blog post dedicated to Cairo.

Bus

There were buses available in all the cities we visited, however we did not take them personally. If you are interested in taking the bus, I suggest asking a local about the proper bus etiquette and schedules. When we did see them, they were usually extremely full of people.

Other

Near tourist sites, you will often see several alternative modes of transportation being offered- horse & carriage, camel, etc. Negotiate the price before you get in and remember that they may try to increase the price by the time you arrive at your destination.

Intercity Transportation in Egypt

Bus

The most common bus company in Egypt for intercity transportation is called GoBus. The buses go between all major cities in Egypt. There are usually two types of buses available: SuperGo D (large yellow bus) and GoMini (Sprinter van). We experienced both of them, and I can say confidently that the GoMini vans are much better and you should choose that option when available. They are cleaner, faster, and provide slightly more legroom. In theory, you should be able to buy tickets online, but the website never worked for us. We had local friends purchase the tickets for us online, or go directly to the bus station to buy them.

Train

Several trains go around Egypt. Cairo is the main hub, with trains going to Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel. Just up and down the country, parallel to the Nile. Unfortunately, trains tend to be quite expensive in Egypt. We had wanted to take the train but took a flight instead because it was half the cost. For example, a sleeper train from Luxor to Cairo was $90, but a flight was $45.

Flights

People in Egypt often use Skyscanner to search for flights. The two most popular airlines are Egypt Air and Cairo Air. We found flights to be a very affordable way to move around in Egypt. For example, we found last-minute flights from Dahab to Hurghada for $35 each, and Luxor to Cairo for $45. I prefer land travel, but when the price difference is this drastic, it’s hard to pass up.

Private Cars

There will always be someone willing to drive you for the right price. For example, we were quoted 4500 EGP ($145) for a private driver from Cairo to Dahab. The GoBus min van cost us 350 EGP ($11) in comparison.

Know Before Going to Egypt: Is it safe to visit in 2024?

This is the most frequently asked question of the year, what everyone wants to know before going to Egypt. The answer is that Egypt is very safe to visit in 2024. The Sinai Peninsula is full of military checkpoints. Not once did I feel unsafe in Egypt. Annoyed and frustrated, sure. But threatened or unsafe? Never. I think it’s natural to assume that Egypt might be unsafe at the moment, but the people of Egypt are suffering because of this mindset. The country is so reliant on tourism, but it has massively slowed down since October. People need work and would love to welcome you to their country. Don’t cancel your Egypt trip!
