About Egypt for visitors

Egypt is a cradle of civilization—the Nile River, pyramids of Giza, ancient temples, and Cairo's sprawling chaos. Most visitors follow the Nile corridor from Cairo south, combining pharaonic monuments with coastal retreats on the Red Sea, all steeped in millennia of human history.

Cairo International Airport (CAI) is the main entry point; secondary airports serve Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh on the Red Sea coast. Immigration is generally efficient; peak hours can see queuing, but procedures are routine and staff are accustomed to high tourist volumes.
