Travel tips for visitors from the USA

Small things that make the trip smoother.
  • Arrive a day early. Jet lag after an overnight flight is real, so keep your first day light.
  • Fly nonstop if you can. EgyptAir’s US routes land in Cairo, where your trip starts.
  • Tip in Egyptian pounds or small dollar bills. Our tipping guide gives the usual amounts.
  • Pack for sun and modesty. Light layers, covered shoulders for mosques and a good hat.
  • Drink bottled water. Your guide always has cold water in the car.
  • Get travel insurance. Make sure it covers medical care abroad.

Frequently asked questions

What travellers from the USA ask us most.

Do Americans need a visa for Egypt?

Yes. US citizens can get an e-Visa online before travelling or a visa on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh airports. A single-entry tourist visa is valid for 30 days and costs about US$25 to 30.

How long is the flight from the USA to Egypt?

EgyptAir flies nonstop to Cairo from New York JFK, Newark, Washington Dulles, Chicago and Los Angeles. From the East Coast the flight takes about 11 hours. With one stop in Europe or the Gulf, allow 14 to 18 hours.

Do your packages include flights from the USA?

No. Our Egypt tour packages cover everything in Egypt, including internal flights or trains where listed. You book your international flight, and we can suggest the best route and arrival time.

How many days do I need in Egypt?

For a first trip, 7 to 10 days is ideal: Cairo and Giza, then Luxor and Aswan by Nile cruise. With 12 to 14 days you can add the Red Sea or Jordan.

Is Egypt safe for American travellers?

The main tourist areas of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea are well protected, and thousands of Americans visit every year. Check the US State Department advisory before you travel, and avoid North Sinai. A private guide and driver add another layer of support.

What is the best time for Americans to visit Egypt?

October to April has the best weather. Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring break are the busiest weeks, so book those 3 to 6 months ahead.
