Before you travel

Visas, eSIMs & currency

A few practical notes to help you get set up before you land in Cairo.

Visa requirements

Visa on arrival

The standard single-entry tourist visa is available on arrival at Cairo International Airport — USD 30 if paid in cash, or USD 36 through the newly launched digital QR-code system.

Not sure if visa on arrival applies to you? Check the official Egyptian government portal to confirm your nationality's eligibility.

Tip: if you bring a €/$50 or €/$100 bill, you'll often be offered the change in Egyptian pounds — an easy way to get local currency at a good rate. Useful for tips along your stay!

Stay connected

Get an eSIM before you land

We highly recommend an eSIM or a data roaming package with your provider to stay connected during your time in Egypt.

Tip: Egyptian carriers only offer physical SIMs to tourists, so it's best to install your eSIM before you arrive — make sure your phone supports eSIM and it's activated ahead of time.

Check compatibility

Confirm your phone supports eSIM before you travel.

Where to stay

Stay & neighbourhoods

A couple of areas we love, and hotels near the celebration.

Zamalek

Leafy island district, walkable and full of cafés — central and easy to get around. We'll also have a shuttle to the wedding departing from here on the day. We recommend Zamalek for ease of transport on the day of.

Maadi

A green, relaxed quarter of tree-lined streets and easy-going cafés, calmer and away from the centre.
