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?
With travel advice changing so quickly, it’s important you keep up-to-date with travel advice.
Before you travel, you’ll need to know:
We want you to have a safe and relaxing holiday. If you travel against government advice and don’t have the European FCDO Travel Advice Extension, you won’t be covered if you need to claim. Even if advice changes while you’re on holiday, you won’t be covered if your destination was listed as unsafe when you travelled.

Data covers 2005 to 2020When you’re off to Egypt, you’ll want to enjoy your holiday comfortably, confident that you’re well covered by your travel insurance if you have a medical emergency.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

Before you take out a policy with us, it’s worth thinking about the areas where you might need to upgrade your level of cover.
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.
Whenever you need us, our 24/7 claims team is here for you.
