It is essential to have the right Egypt insurance in place before travelling or working in this extraordinary North African country. Standard holiday insurance is likely to be valid for Cairo or the coastal resorts but you may need more robust insurance for some areas, some occupations and extended visits.

With its incredible history and ancient cultural and architectural heritage, Egypt captures the imagination like no other country in the world; it is one of the most popular tourist destinations of all time. But you can’t always count on a trouble-free stay in modern day Egypt – and it pays to make sure you have the right Egypt insurance protection in place.
Avoid getting caught up in rallies or demonstrations, which can become violent. Be conscious of your surroundings at all times, as well as of your passport and valuables. Since the turbulence began, there has been an increase in muggings, break-ins and carjackings. Use hotel safes and be aware of pickpockets and bag snatchers.
A significant number of cases of sexual assault against British nationals have been reported, many occurring in ‘safe’ environments such as hotel premises. Remember that alcohol can make you vulnerable to crimes of all kinds. Road travel can be hazardous. Due to the poor road conditions and dangerous driving, accidents are very common. If you are a passenger in a vehicle travelling at unsafe speed, be firm about telling the driver to slow down. If driving, do not go outside of main cities and resorts after dark, and make sure your Egypt insurance includes robust cover against accident and injury.
River and sea travel can also be dangerous. If you plan to use Red Sea ferries or Nile cruisers, be aware that overcrowding and poor safety standards have led to several accidents. Piracy can be a problem – small or slow boats should travel in convoy where possible.
Check the safety standards of diving and water activities operators, and make sure that your Egypt insurance includes adequate cover for the costs of air/sea rescue.
Medical facilities outside Cairo are likely to be basic. Your Egypt medical insurance should cover the cost of hospitalisation and medical repatriation if necessary.
