Anreise
Cairo International (CAI) handles most intercontinental flights; other gateways include Hurghada (HRG) and Sharm el‑Sheikh (SSH). Land borders at Rafah (Gaza) and Taba (Israel).
Unterwegs im Land
Domestic flights are cheap and fast; trains link major cities, buses are common, and rental cars are possible but traffic can be chaotic. Within cities use taxis, rideshares or metro in Cairo.
Geld
Currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP). Cards work in hotels and larger shops, but carry cash for markets. Tipping 10 % is customary. Budget travelers can manage with about 30‑50 USD per day, mid‑range 70‑120 USD.
Sprache
Egyptian Arabic is spoken everywhere; Modern Standard Arabic appears in signs. English is common in tourist areas. Useful words: "shukran" (thank you), "min faddak" (please).
Sicherheit
Watch for pickpockets in crowded spots, avoid isolated desert areas after dark, and stay updated on travel advisories for the Sinai region. Standard precautions apply.
Sitten und Bräuche
Dress modestly, especially at mosques (shoulders and knees covered). Remove shoes before entering religious sites and avoid public displays of affection.
