Questions travellers ask

Is travel insurance mandatory for Egypt?
It is not a legal condition of entry to Egypt, but without a policy you pay for any medical care yourself — which is where travel budgets actually collapse.
How much does travel insurance for Egypt cost?
It depends on trip length, age and the cover you pick. We do not invent prices: our partner quotes it live and you see the figure before paying.
What do I do if I fall ill in Egypt?
Call 123 ambulance · 122 police · private hospitals in Cairo bill travel insurance directly in an emergency, and call your policy's assistance line before going to a private clinic — that is how they authorise direct billing so you never front the money.
Does insurance cover the excursions I book here?
Adventure activities, water sports and high-mountain days usually need an add-on. Check the covered-activities list before you buy if you plan to do any.
Can I buy a policy after the trip has started?
Many insurers allow it, but you lose cancellation cover and a waiting period normally applies. Buying when you book the flight is always cheapest.
