Before you go
None of these fit in a bag. Sort them first and the packing gets easy.
Download offline maps
Download the offline map before you lose signal.
Apply for your Tourist visa
Egypt requires a Tourist visa before arrival. It is an online application and cannot be sorted at the border.
Some cash in local currency
Cards fail more often than you'd think. Carry EGP for markets and taxis.
Passport valid past your dates
Egypt wants 6 months left on a passport past April. Check the expiry date now.
Vaccinations / travel clinic
CDC lists Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Rabies for Egypt. Talk to a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks out.
Copies of your documents
Photograph your passport, cards, and insurance. Email them to yourself. Ten seconds now saves a very bad afternoon.
Travel insurance
Most home health plans stop at the border. A quote takes two minutes.
eSIM
An eSIM works the moment the phone is switched on in Egypt, with no SIM counter to find.
