Q: Do I need a visa?

A: Most nationalities (including US, EU, & Singapore) can obtain a visa on arrival for 30 days. The visa costs $25 USD (EUR or GBP) and is paid in cash.

Q: Getting around Cairo, should I rent a car?

A: Cairo is definitely a driving city, but we do not recommend renting a car as driving in Cairo is not for the faint of heart.

Uber is everywhere, and very cheap! Aamen took a 40 min uber ride to the airport for $4 in November.

We’ll arrange transport to/from the airport, on our tour days and to/from the wedding.

Q: What should I wear in Cairo?

A: Cairo is a major international city so these days, anything goes especially if you’re a tourist. There’s no expected dress code but a few things to keep in mind;

Touristy areas: Anything goes.

The only time it gets specific is if you are entering a mosque. In a mosque, women should cover their heads and dress conservatively. Men are required to cover “navel to knees.” Check the home page for our wedding dress code.

Non-touristy areas:

Women: Covering knees, chest & shoulders. Carrying a shawl can come in handy, covering shoulders or heads where needed or keeping warm when indoors.

Q: Do I need vaccinations:

A: Egypt doesn’t require vaccines on entry unless you’ve recently been in an area of high risk of yellow fever.
