The medical certificate must be issued and stamped by an accredited laboratory, and indicate the type of sample taken for the swab, and must be written in either Arabic or English.Passengers traveling from some airports must have their PCR test conducted no more than 96 hours prior to flight departure (check with your airline).While it says “Passengers coming to Egypt will be also followed up for 14 days by The Quarantine Authorities and Ministry of Health Offices.”, I have confirmed with Djed Egypt Travel that no quarantine is required as long as you can present a negative test. Only paper copies of test results will be accepted. Passengers travelling from Japan, China, Thailand, North America, South America, Canada, London Heathrow, Paris, and Frankfurt will be allowed to provide the test certificate performed at a maximum of 96 hours prior to flight departure, now that they've acknowledged that there are long transit periods to get to Egypt. Entry with COVID TestĪs of September 1, 2020, all international arrivals 2 years and older (including Egyptian nationals) to any part of Egypt must present a negative RT-PCR test certificate on arrival, and the test must have been taken no more than 72 hours before departure of their last direct flight to Egypt. There are however some strict rules around testing and here is how it works. Overall, the good news is that commercial flights and international tourism has been allowed as of Jand since then rules have been relaxed to help bring tourists back into the country.
As with the rest of the world, COVID-19 has made a massive impact on travel to and in Egypt.Ĭurrently (February 2021), there are total of 169,106 cases and 9,604 deaths since the start of the pandemic.Īccording to the latest COVID-19 numbers in Egypt, they're fighting the increase in cases just like the rest of the world and have roughly 500 new cases a day but the good news is that this is starting to flatten out.
