The Cairo Airport (CAI) is the main airport for international flights and offers many connections to other cities. It has the best facilities for travelers. Alternatively, you can also consider the Hurghada Airport (HRG) or the Sharm El-Sheikh Airport (SSH) depending on your travel plans in Egypt and motorcycle tours.
The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). Credit cards are accepted in many hotels and large shops, but it is advisable to carry cash for small purchases. ATMs are widely available, but be aware of cash withdrawal fees. To save money, do not exchange at the airport, but in the city where the rates are better.
Vaccinations are not mandatory, but you should check your routine vaccination status. It is recommended to be vaccinated against Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus. A travel insurance protects you from unexpected events during your motorcycle tours. Don’t forget to check the insurance policy before departing on your trip.
To drive in Ägypten, you need an international driver's license along with your national driver's license. Make sure both documents are valid and easily accessible. Traffic laws may differ from those in your home country, so familiarize yourself with them to travel safely and responsibly.
SIM cards are easily available in Ägypten, particularly in Vodafone, Orange, and Etisalat shops. Visit a shop at the airport or in the city. To buy a SIM card, bring your passport, as it is required for activation. Prepaid plans are affordable and offer data packages for your needs during your motorcycle tours.
