Please note

    Passport and Visa

    - A valid passport with at least 6 months validity from the date of entry is required.

    - An Egyptian visa is required for travel to Cairo (beyond the Sinai free-visa zone). Your guide assists with visa arrangements at the border.

    - Some nationalities cannot obtain a visa at the border and must arrange it in advance at an Egyptian embassy. Check your eligibility before booking.

    - All visa and border fees must be paid in cash. USD is the most widely accepted currency at the border.


    Border Crossing Fees (Not Included)

    - Israel exit fee at Taba: approximately NIS 109 per person (updated annually on January 1).

    - The Egyptian border exit fee and visa are $140 per person.

    - Bring $150-$200 USD in cash per person for all border-related fees.


    What to Bring

    - Valid passport (original, not a copy).

    - Cash in USD for border fees, tips, souvenirs, and drinks.

    - Comfortable walking shoes (sand and uneven ground at the Pyramids).

    - Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.

    - A light jacket or sweater for the air-conditioned coach and cooler desert nights.

    - Phone or camera for photos. Note: professional cameras with large zoom lenses may be questioned at the border. Smartphones and compact cameras are fine.

    - A small daypack for personal items.


    Dress Code

    - Casual and comfortable clothing is fine. Egypt does not have strict dress requirements for tourist sites.

    - For women visiting mosques (if included as an optional stop), shoulders and knees should be covered.

    - Avoid very short shorts or revealing tops out of respect for local customs.


    Physical Requirements

    - Moderate walking is required at the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. Terrain at Giza is sandy and uneven.

    - Long coach ride (6-7 hours each way). Make sure you're comfortable with extended travel.

    - Not wheelchair accessible due to terrain conditions at the Pyramids.


    Important Notes

    - Minimum 2 participants required. If not met, you'll be offered an alternative date or a full refund.

    - All times are approximate. Border crossing wait times can vary.

    - Return drops you at Taba Border Crossing, not your Eilat hotel. Taxis to Eilat cost approximately $10.

    - Travel insurance covering Egypt is strongly recommended but not included.

    - Tipping is customary in Egypt. Budget approximately $5-$10 for your guide and $2-$5 for your driver.
