Egypt is open for travel and tourism and has been for awhile. Covid policies and practices evolve as time goes on so monitor this topic periodically so you know the latest updates. (We will periodically send them via the TRIP PM so make sure you are getting them as they are your lifeline for trip information.)

 

Updated as of Jun 22, 2022:

1. Travel documents such as the Egypt Declaration Form are no longer needed,
2. Basically all COVID-19 requirements for Egypt entry and special restrictions and rules for tourists have been lifted, all that visitors need now is to obtain an Egypt Visa. (SINGLEDIVERS.COM WILL BE DOING THIS FOR YOU CLOSER TO THE TRIP)

In-hotel PCR testing is available for around $150 for those guests with optional land tours after their time aboard.
