Egypt COVID-19 Entry Requirements

All passengers, including Egyptians, must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test to enter the country. The test must be issued a maximum of 72 hours before arrival.

Passengers from North America, South America, Thailand, Japan, China, Canada, Paris, Heathrow, Frankfurt, and London have a longer grace period. Their test can be taken up to 96 hours before arrival due to longer travel times. Children under six years old are exempt from this requirement.

Important Information for Travelers

You must follow all health precautions during your trip. You can get a PCR test upon arrival at Cairo International Airport. The test result must be a printed, signed, and stamped document.

Transit passengers must also have a negative PCR test, even if their final destination doesn’t require one. However, if you are only transiting through Cairo International Airport without a hotel stay, you do not need a test unless your final destination requires it.
