Yes, Egypt is generally a safe destination for tourists, including solo and female travelers. Millions of visitors explore Egypt each year without incident — especially in well-traveled areas like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea.

At Kemet Experience, your safety is our top priority. We work only with trusted local guides, drivers, and partners to ensure a smooth, secure journey. You’ll also have access to our 24/7 local support team throughout your stay.

As with any destination, we recommend:
• Staying aware of your surroundings
• Respecting local customs
• Following travel advisories from your country

With thoughtful planning and local insight, Egypt offers a welcoming and unforgettable travel experience.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date.

Citizens of Australia, Canada, EU countries, Japan, the UK, USA, and others can obtain a 30-day tourist visa upon arrival. This takes just a few minutes at the bank kiosk before passport control.

You may also apply for an E-Visa in advance via the official Egyptian E-Visa Portal — we recommend this for faster airport entry.

Egypt is generally safe, but basic precautions will ensure a healthy trip:

• Tap Water: Avoid drinking tap water. Stick to bottled or filtered water.
• Food: Eat well-cooked food; avoid street food if you have a sensitive stomach.
• Sun Exposure: Protect yourself with sunscreen, hats, and hydration.
• Medication: Bring your prescriptions — pharmacies are common in cities.

Travel insurance with medical coverage is recommended. If you’re touring with Kemet Experience, our team can connect you to local clinics and assist in any emergency.

Yes. Many Egyptians — especially in cities and tourist areas — speak or understand English.

Yes — when visiting mosques in Egypt, modest dress is essential.

• Women: Cover hair with a scarf, wear long sleeves, and avoid tight or revealing clothing. Long skirts or loose pants are best.
