Staying healthy in Egypt: Here’s what you need to know

Egypt boasts a high standard of medical facilities and healthcare services. Here's what travelers should know.

Make sure to stay updated on routine vaccines

  • Travelers aged 9 months or older coming from countries with a yellow fever risk must show proof of vaccination upon arrival.

  • Common recommendations include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and typhoid.

Try and get a policy that covers:

  • Trip cancellation, delay, and interruption benefits.

  • Medical expenses and medical evacuation benefits.

  • Lost baggage coverage.

Things to be aware of when visiting Egypt

1. Heat exposure: Egypt can be extremely hot and dry. It's essential to stay hydrated, use sun protection, and wear appropriate clothing.

2. Food and water: It's advisable to drink bottled or purified water and be cautious with street food, opting for well-cooked meals from reputable sources.

3. Animals: There is a risk of rabies from dogs and other animal bites. Avoid contact with stray animals and consider a rabies vaccine if traveling to remote areas.
