Do I need travel insurance for Egypt?

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.

Isn’t it worth doing right?

Know before you go

Before you travel, always check:

  • The Foreign Office (FCDO) say it’s safe to travel to your destination.
  • Your destination’s government advice, safety guidelines and entry requirements.

Important: FCDO travel advice and travel rules issued by the government are two separate pieces of advice.

Excellent

"Very easy to find and go through quote and questions online. Price was better that the competition. Felt like I was human, particularly when answering questions on pre-existing medical conditions. Some other insurers make you feel that you are a third rate citizen because you have medical conditions."
"Quick and easy to navigate the site and great prices, we always use this company and won't be changing, great value"
"I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an illness that was thankfully cured by surgery. I travel a lot and was unsure how this would affect travel insurance. I phoned Staysure and was given clear and helpful information, asked quite detailed health questions and was finally given a very competitive quote for an annual policy with the option to pay monthly. Very efficient service, great company to deal with."

To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered, including any booster jabs.

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 or any booster jab, then you won’t be covered for COVID related claims.

When it comes to travel insurance, although Egypt is in Africa, it's classed as being no greater risk than travelling to wider European destinations like Cyprus.

If you're looking for an annual policy, pick our 'Region 2' Europe cover to include Egypt in your travel plans.

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.

Travel insurance only covers the cost of unexpected events and emergencies. COVID-19 testing has become a routine procedure for many countries, so it isn’t covered by your travel insurance.

You can get 10% off COVID-19 tests from Randox Health with new travel insurance policies, though.
