Getting
Here |
| Air |
|
| Egypt
can be reached by all means of
transportation , air, sea and land. There
are direct flights from all over
Europe, New York, the Middle
East, most of Africa and some of
the Far East countries. Otherwise, connections
can be made
mainly in Europe. Besides the main
international
Airport at Cairo ( which has two terminals, one for
the local Airline and the other for almost
all other international airlines ) there are
airports receiving international
flights at Alexandria, Hurgada, Sharm El-Sheikh and
Luxor. Most tourists prefer to arrive at Cairo
airport then find there way around the
country but most charter flights from
Europe, head directly to other smaller
airports. |

| Sea |
|
| Any
port on the Mediterranean Sea
, can be a starting
point for a ship to
Alexandria or Port Said. Alexandria, is the
more
common choice. There are also ferries traveling
from Saudi Arabia and Jordan crossing the Red Sea
to Nuweiba. |

|
| Land |
|
| Land
travel to Egypt can be
achieved from all
countries in North Africa through
Libya or from
the Middle East countries through Israel. Sudan is
also a common land entry point for most of the
middle and southern African countries. |

|
| Visas |
|
| It
is much easier and cheaper to get your entry
Visas in Egypt upon your arrival than
getting them in the Egyptian consulate
in your country. A tourist visa costs
something like US$ 30 and is valid for at least
one month to three months. If you plan
to
stay more than that, you can
be given an extension to your visa at
the Mogammaa. It is the huge building in Tahrir
Square. |
