Egypt Group Tour and Nile Cruise with Egypt Adventures Travel: What to Expect
I applied for an e-visa it got rejected. I also applied for my friend but this time I downloaded his application form, his visa got approved the next day itself even got a confirmation e-mail. I tried the same thing for myself, I applied and downloaded the application form. Next day got email that my visa is approved. Earlier my visa was rejected with the reason last name not matching whereas I filled everything correct. I raised my concern in their website, followed up and applied again. I suspect that if you download the application form you have a proof that you have not done any mistake and I think this saved me. Sharing my experience. But better get VOA. Lesson learnt!
I would like to add here one more thing. I recently checked my credit card statement, I was not charged the second time when I applied for e-visa. So I didn’t lose money as I applied with same login id and same application reference number.
These tipping recommendations are too high… way too high. They want usd because they get more money when they get US dollars. It’s that simple. As someone who has lived in the Arab World for almost 25 years… Pay them in their local currency. Do not pay in dollars. You will end up spending more money if you do.
Not worth it. Its better to watch mummy 1 , 2 ( Brandon Phraser ) again.
Full is Sudanese too.
Hi, so for a foreigner the price from Cairo to Luxor will be 90 USD ??
Hi Gus! Love your blog and videos. I have a question on visas I can’t find a definitive answer to, I’m a Canadian landing in Cairo, spending 1 night there and taking a flight to Dubai for 2 days before flying back to Cairo for a 5 day stay and finally returning to Canada from Cairo. Can I get a multiple entry 60usd visa on arrival? Should I get two single entry 25$usd visas ( one each time I land in Egypt)? Or mist I get a multiple entry evisa prior to leaving Canada? Thank you so much !!
What day are you landing in Cairo?
Dec 1
First day Canadians can do voa!
@@davidgagnon8469 excellent! I recommend buying two visas upon arrival, because you’d save $10 ($25 and $25 for each visa upon arrival, instead of $60 for the multi entry). You maybe can ask the guy at the visa window if you can buy the two at the same time and then just save the second sticker for when you come back through Egypt (a friend of mine has done this, but I never have). Or you can just buy one each time. And of course, you can ask for the $60 one, but you’d be paying and extra $10.
Thank you so much ! So generous of you to take the time to help. God bless you!
Thank you for including Canada in your video and your explanations are very clear and helpful
Of course! And from 1 December 2024, Canadians can now get a visa upon arrival, like normal 👍🏼.
On my next trip in December, I have 2 options: to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum or to visit Saqqara and Memphis. Which one would you choose from those two visits, the museum or Saqqara + Memphis?
It depends! If you’re more interested in visiting ancient monumental sites, than I think Saqqara and Memphis (or Saqqara and Dahshur) are better, but if you like visiting artifacts laid out and explained in a museum, then the GEM. Hope this helps!
Yum
🙂🙂
Great video but as i have great fun pointingbout to the locals as i live here but Koshary isnt Egyptian it was brought over from India during the Napoleonic wars 1798-1802 by British Indian Sepoys, Google for actual history
Nice! Either way, I LOVE it 😍
@EgyptAdventuresTravel yeah me too unfortunately I like mine with a little too much hot sauce
@ me too 😂
@EgyptAdventuresTravel hope your loving Sharm I'm in 6 Oct with 2 half Egyptian Children too
I feel like a proud mom and the fact that you are liver you earned my full respect
Awh, thank you! 🙂
@EgyptAdventuresTravel I saw many people say they are trying Egyptian food and none of them look authentic except yours specially the sweet potato being in another restaurant menu that is how I know it's authentic because every time I busy my grandparents we get food and it's always wrapped in newspapers or menu
@ I always request for it to be wrapped in something like this instead of the styrofoam tray 😉
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel it's better somehow it has more flavor than it being on a stryfoam
@ I agree 😍
Thank you so much Mr gus for this a wonderful video
My pleasure-thanks for watching 🙂
GUS! I WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN i loose my 💯 pnds. Hay GUS what do you think of DR. NICHOLAS REEVES updated new book THE COMPLETE TUTANKAMUN his Theory of an earlier female burial deeper INSIDE TUTTS TOMB because of the right turn of the enterence passage-female burial- INSTEAD OF THE LEFT turn of a MALE enterence passage for a king? ALSO KV 63 literally facing across meters away facing TUTTS TOMB? The golden face of a female coffen that looks LIKE AN AMARNA Princess/queen? KV 63 being a burial cache of 18th dynasty period. FACINATING!
There is so much to learn and think about ancient Egypt and the discoveries yet to be made!
You are a very good person It provides the best content and the closest description of my country, Egypt New follower I wish you good luck and continued success❤
Thanks so much!
They ask you the passport when you buy the ticket
I honestly can’t remember-I recommend having it with you, just in case.
Oh my, how things have changed in Egypt. I visited there in 1980, and the trains were ANCIENT back then. "Man fears Time, but Time fears the Egyptian trains" is what I said at the time. I am plotting my return, especially I want to see Alexandria this time too.
I hope you can come back soon!
Do you know if I can purchase a ticket from Cairo to the Luxor at the airport for a domestic flight and back without booking online? Reason being is I will be in Cairo but not sure exactly when we will go to Luxor but then we leave out of Cairo again. No one can seem to answer this question in their Egypt guide videos. Thanks man.
You can purchase tickets at the airport as long as you go when the ticket desks are working (normal working hours), but I would definitely book online instead-way easier!
100$ ??? Brooo you got scammed, cost me 20€
At the time of making this video, the currency exchange rate was around $60 for a ticket, but it used to be $100 USD equivalent when they most recently increased prices. You’re 100% right, before the tomb closed indefinitely, the exchange rate made the ticket only around 20€. And unfortunately now, the tomb is indefinitely closed, so I’m so glad you got to go before it closed!

Just subscribed. May I ask, I'm indonesian I need visa to egypt, but I will be traveling to turkey first then fly to egypt, so the option "traveling from" country should I write Indonesia, or Turkey? Thankyou
I’m not sure-that’s a great question! I’d ask the Egyptian consulate or embassy if you want a definite answer. If I were to guess, either option should be ok, but I’m not 100% sure. Sorry, wish I could be of more help!
@EgyptAdventuresTravel of course that would be amazing. Because I plan to visit next year to egypt but still confused with this one. And I don't want to risk it by applying visa on arrival in the airport since maybe they will reject me as an Indonesian . Thankyouu
@ of course! Wish I could’ve been more helpful.
@EgyptAdventuresTravel so far I enjoyed your video helps me planning my trips
Very informative video, thank you! Do you know btw how much does the regular ticket for foreigners cost (no first class, no vip) from Cairo to Alexandria both ways?
I think it’s $35 USD each way, but I’m not 100% sure. I remember it was cheaper than a first class ticket, but not by much. I highly recommend simply taking a microbus if price is a big factor for you. A microbus only costs about $3 and it’s actually faster than the train in some instances 😎
@EgyptAdventuresTravel Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Very well made. Buildup is good. Will visit once this opens
It’s going to be awesome once everything is fully open 😍
Do people use digital platforms for payment like paypal, cashapp, or venmo?
Some people use digital methods like Flash, InstaPay, and Vodafone cash.
Awesome! I’m currently a 20 minute walk away from my Airbnb. Guess I’m having dinner here tonight.
I hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your recomendation of weather
My pleasure!
I lived in Egypt for a long time but now I want to make a trip with you Gus
You’re welcome anytime ❤️
Hi Gus, excellent video. So much so, my wife has just ordered a copy of the book for my Christmas present. Please tell Mark.
Fantastic! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Planning to visit with my son in 2025 🤩
Have a great visit!
I’m from the uk and arrive in Cairo next week. Do I just pay for the visa at the airport?
If you’re a UK passport holder, yes, you just pay 25 Pounds Sterling for the passport upon arrival in cash.
@ thank you
How long you will wait to get your visa at Airport?
I’ve never waited longer than 5-10 minutes. Look for the bank kiosk with the shortest line-everyone usually queues up at the first one, but there are several!

@@EgyptAdventuresTravel Ok, and where can I buy simcard? I have only Norwegian simcard. We arrive late almost 23:10. I hope there is taxi or open kiosk that I can buy Simcard to use Google maps.
@ the SIM card places are open 24/7/365, so you’ll be good!
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel Thanks
Alternative comfortable budget option: take Gobus Gobus EliteBusiness (1+2seats arrangement buses). Buy two seats!!! (next to each other of course). Looking now: Lux-cairo in is EGP600: so two seats EGP1200=USD24 very good deal for 10hr journey. I did this on Cairo-Hurghada:7hrs. Price can't be beaten on that level of comfort. No probs sleeping, lot of space.
Hi, USD 24 for a foreigner ticket ?
I took Cairo-Aswan with my gf 8PM-8AM. I love travelling on sleeper trains- the rhythm of the railway track makes me sleep like a baby. Having the compartment for two of us, bottle of wine, watching a movie.... a romantic experience with that sweet sweet sleep I get only on a train. Plus excess expense reduced somewhat by us saving one night accomodation. The carriage was not the newest, but that was not a factor for us. I agree that flight would be cheaper, but this was great experience. Will repeat when we are in Egypt next April. And yap, bring own food and bottle of wine;)
Im glad you had a good experience!
My friend is from Egypt and she told me Basbousa and Kunafeh are more popular there
Yes, those are popular desserts!
Valuable info. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Can you share your contact?
Sure-it’s all over my website 👍🏼
Thank you for the comprehensive video, can you recall by any chance if a paper boarding pass is mandatory or is a mobile one just fine
I’m not sure-I almost always have to end up getting paper boarding passes at the airports in Egypt, because they usually don’t let you check in online.
Hi gus, im traveling to egypt on monday, still havent find a guide😊
Hope you have a great trip!
Nice video man! A question, when you follow the end of Al Haram street is there a ticket office?
To find the ticket office, head toward the Mena House hotel, and then when the hotel entrance is on your right, continue straight, and you’ll eventually get to the ticket area. You can easily put the Mena House into your GPS.
I miss the kibda bro 🤤
It’s one of my faves 😍
Hi Gus, it seems, in GEM, only mobile photography is permitted. On the same note, can you tell me in which all Egyptian attractions is it prohibited to use my camera? And where all do I need to pay extra? Thanks!
Hi there! Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to this-can anyone else help? My recommendation is to bring the camera along and then if you’re asked not to use it, put it away and use your phone, or if there’s an extra fee you can pay it on the spot if you think it’s worth it. Sorry I can’t be more help!

I just sent you an email. Excited to work with you!
is the mask of Tutankhamon still available in the old museun in Cairo?
At the time I’m writing this comment, yes, it’s still at the Old Museum. We unfortunately don’t know when it will be moved, but I’ll be sure to post a video when I have any updates 🙂
I am looking forward to visit the GEM.

Just looking to book this hotel in next couple of days. Have stayed at Rixos, Cleopatra x2, Sunrise and another 10 hotels in last 20 years. Rixos was definitely above the rest, Cleopatra definitely great value for what you get.
Nice! I haven’t stayed at Rixos, but I heard that it’s a bit nicer than the Alcazar. I haven’t stayed at Cleopatra either but I’ll add it to my upcoming trip based on your recommendation!

is there anyone can help me ? i ask you if i and my little girl her age is 8 month is required a visa in egypt my little or isn't it's enough only my visa? I need your answer if you know thanks.
