As of July 6, 2024, PCR testing requirements are no longer required!! All that is currently required of travelers is an Egypt e-Visa; the COVID-19 criteria for entry into Egypt, together with the additional rules and restrictions for visitors, have been deleted. In addition, passing a negative PCR test or filling out a passenger location form is no longer required in order to enter Egypt.
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.
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.
If you arrive at the Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada, Taba, or Marsa Alam airports without a PCR test, you can get one upon arrival for $30 USD. You will be isolated at your hotel until you receive the results. If your test is positive, you must remain in your room while the Ministry of Health coordinates your care.
Kindly Notice: A negative PCR certificate expires as soon as the traveler uses it to get outside Egypt and you won’t be able to use it again to get back to Egypt.
Feel free to contact us for any inquiries and our team will be more than happy to assist you in the best way to guarantee that everything is clear for you before your arrival in Egypt.

I had the opportunity to do a layover tour with Egypt Fun Tours this Friday, and it was amazing. I had a 10-hour layover tour in Cairo, and I was met by Mohamed on time at the airport. He picked me up in a clean, new, safe, and comfortable van.
Egypt Fun Tours was contracted by our travel agency, Lenka Travelers, to arrange and guide us through parts of Egypt and Jordon. They did a fabulous job. The hotels, restaurants, places we visited, and transportation were the best. Our guide in Egypt, Mohammad, was very knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and
First things first…I was in Cairo about a week before the protests of 2011 started. As far as the tour was concerned, I was very pleased. I was met at the airport by a knowledgeable guide (Sara) who spoke great English and a driver. They took me to Giza first,
I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism of this tour company. I emailed to inquire about the Cairo layover tour about 30 hours before my flight was scheduled to leave from New York. I was pleasantly surprised to get a quick response confirming the tour and assuring that a guide
We had the time of our lives on a trip to Egypt and the Bahariya/White Desert with Egypt Fun Tours, too. I would highly recommend this company. They are very familiar with organizing this trip, and this means they are well-connected in the desert area. This was invaluable to us
