Before visiting Egypt, make sure you have travel insurance. It’s not only for Egypt but for every place you go. If you cannot afford a 50 to 100 dollar insurance, you should not travel. Do I sound harsh? Even if I, you will thank me one day! If you are not sure about where to do the insurance, I suggest taking it from World Nomads. They are specialized in travel insurance and cover a lot of areas including different types of adventure activities.
