1. Is Egypt safe to visit especially after the political events that took place after the Egyptian revolution?
- In spite of the size and the population density of the cities, Egypt is generally considered one of the safest destinations
in the world for travelers. Having tourists visiting the country as early as the Middle Ages, the Egyptians are historically
known for their generosity, kindness, and warmth. Egyptians are friendly towards tourists because they know how
important tourism is for the national economy of the country.
After the presidential elections, especially with the support that the new Egyptian president, ELSISI, has showed towards
tourism, with the conditions getting more stable in the country, Egypt now is as secure as it has always been for ages.
This is why many tourists state that they feel secure in Egypt even more than their homelands.
2. Is the Egypt considered a safe destination in comparison to other countries in the world?
- Egypt is always proud for having one of the lowest crime rates in the world and travelers are always safe in Egypt if they
take sensible precautions that would apply to any destination in the whole globe.
3. Are there are any special advices for women travelers while visiting Egypt?
- Egypt is considered to be among the most liberal Islamic countries in the Middle East. The country has many touristic
locations like hotels, resorts, bars, pubs, and casinos where tourists in general and women in particular may feel free to
dress and behave the way they like.
However, on the other hand, when ladies are present in less touristic cities or places, ladies are expected to dress
modestly and wear relatively long loose clothes that cover their chests, arms, and legs below the knees
If a lady is to take transportation, like the metro, unaccompanied, it is always a good advice to ride in the ladies wagon.
If a lady faces in problem in Egypt, many citizens would surly help her. Women are respected and protected everywhere
around the country.
4. Will I be able to exchange dollars or any other currencies in Egypt?

Moreover, many touristic shops, restaurants, and bars would actually deal with dollars with rates that are relatively close
to the official ones.

Master Card, and American Express.
6. How can I obtain my visa to visit Egypt?
- Visitors to Egypt should have a passport that is valid for a period more than six months after the planned date of their
entry inside Egypt. All North Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, and many other nationalities should obtain a tourist
visa to enter Egypt. There are actually two ways to obtain the visa; the first is to apply in advance in one of Egypt’s
embassies or consulates abroad or the tourists can usually obtain the visa within a couple of minutes upon arrival in the
Cairo, Hurghada, or Luxor Airports.
7. How many entry visas does Egypt grant to the travelers?
- Egypt generally has three types of entry visas. The first one is called the Entry Visa and it is given to any non Egyptian
citizen who wishes to enter the country for reasons different than tourism.
- The second is called the Transit Visa and it is given for any non Egyptian citizen who is entering the country for a limited
period of time for transit reasons

period of time that usually does not exceed three months and it can be issued with single or multiple entries according to

obtain the visa from the country from which his passport was issued.
9. Is it allowed for non Moslems to enter historical mosques in Egypt?
- Non Moslems are generally welcomed to visit mosques in Egypt. However, it is always advisable to seek permission
before entering mosques outside Cairo and Alexandria where people are less accustomed with tourists. Tourists and
foreigners are welcomed almost in all mosques in Egypt except mosques where the relatives of the prophet Mohamed
were buried like the Mosque of El Hussein and the Mosque of Sayeda Zeinab for example. Anytime except the Friday
