Practical advice about your trip to Egypt:
The visa counter is open 24/7 and is located just before immigration control. There, you can have your passport stamped.
Cairo Airport is situated 22km northeast of downtown.
The American dollar is between 50 and 51 Egyptian pounds at the moment.
I don’t advise you to exchange too much money for Egyptian pounds, as you might lose out if you later want to trade it back to your original currency. Anyway, banks and exchange offices are available.
The entry tickets for the sites and the museums must be paid by card, either on-site or through the following website:
A discount is available for children (under 12 years old) and students, as long as they show their international student card.
Decent clothing is appreciated when visiting mosques and churches.
Tap water is NOT safe to drink.
Enjoy your trip to Egypt.
