INSURANCE

Due to a rise in unsettled medical bills from foreign travellers, Egypt requires travel insurance. All foreigners visiting the country are required to purchase medical travel insurance, although the government has not implemented a minimum requirement for medical coverage. The only requirement to visit Egypt is to buy a policy with medical coverage that lasts for the entire duration of a traveler’s trip.

Many travel insurance companies promote upgrades that overlap with the coverage you might already have. For example, homeowners and renters policies already protect your home and belongings while you’re away. Your credit card may also offer travel insurance if you use it to book your flight. It’s worth double-checking your current insurance policies to make sure you don’t end up paying for the same coverage twice.
