When you’re off to Egypt, you’ll want to enjoy your holiday with peace of mind. With the right travel insurance, you can travel with the confidence that if something goes wrong, you have the help you’ll need.
Egypt has no reciprocal health agreements with the UK so travelling without a travel insurance policy could mean you having to pay for any costs in a medical emergency.
With a tailored travel insurance policy, you’ll be covered for medical treatment, as well as lost luggage or stolen passports.

To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered. This could be one or two depending on your age.
You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.
If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine, then you won’t be covered.
No, a GHIC or valid EHIC is only accepted in relevant European countries (excluding Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland), which doesn’t include Egypt. Any medical treatment in Egypt will have to be paid for, which without travel insurance can be very expensive.
It’s important you have proper travel insurance in place when travelling to Egypt so if a medical emergency occurs, you will be covered.
We need you to tell us of any changes in your medical or travel situation as soon as possible, so that you're taking a fully valid policy on your trip.
So whether you're updating us about a medical condition or medication, or if you plan on adding optional extras to your policy, please do speak to us and we'll see if we can increase the coverage where necessary.
