Travel Insurance for Egypt

Egypt is a fascinating country, and the perfect destination for those seeking adventure. Over 96% of Egypt is officially classed as desert, but there’s still plenty to explore. From the mighty River Nile to the Pyramids of Giza and the souks and mosques of Cairo, Egypt’s a country that’s full of character and colour.

During your visit to Egypt, you can see the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, or take a Nile boat and visit the waterside temples. But trips to Egypt aren’t all about ancient history; the coastline’s packed with footprint-free beaches and vibrant coral reefs. So whether you’re searching for grand souks, ornate mosques, vast dunes, ancient fortresses or idyllic beaches, there’s plenty to explore.

Plus, the friendly locals will make you feel right at home. Many are followers of Islam and speak Arabic, but some locals speak English too. Egypt’s currency is the Egyptian pound, and the country has a reputation for being inexpensive and good value – just remember to take your bartering cap when you enter the bazaars and souks.

Whether you’ll be relaxing at the beach or discovering ancient civilisations, it's important that you get travel insurance for Egypt to help protect yourself against any unforeseen eventualities.

Below is some more information about our products, for which Terms and Conditions apply. Please visit the policy information hub for full details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Travel insurance isn’t a legal requirement when you visit Egypt, but it is still something you should strongly consider.

This is because Egypt’s public healthcare is generally poor outside large cities and private healthcare is incredibly expensive. Plus, an EHIC or GHIC card is not valid in Egypt; you’ll be liable for the cost of your own healthcare if you don’t have insurance. Thankfully, with the right level of travel insurance for Egypt in place, you’ll reduce the cost of care helping to make sure your dream holiday won’t leave you out of pocket.

Similarly, crime is rare in Egypt, but you could lose your possessions or have them stolen by a pickpocket. If this is the case, travel insurance can help recover the cost to replace or repair your items.

The type of travel insurance for Egypt you require will largely depend on how often you plan to travel. If you’re only visiting Egypt once this year, then Single Trip travel insurance may be best suited to your needs. But, if you plan on taking more than one trip this year, then our Annual travel insurance could be a cost-effective option.

The type of insurance you require will also depend on who is travelling. If you’re taking a family holiday to Egypt’s stunning coastline, then Family travel insurance will allow you to include the whole gang on the same policy. Or, if you’re taking a trip with friends to visit the pyramids, then Group travel insurance may be a better choice. This way, you can include your travelling party on the same policy.

Please note that although Egypt isn’t part of mainland Europe, for our Annual policies, Egypt is included within our ‘Europe’ cover.

Before you travel to Egypt, you’ll need to be up to date with all routine vaccination courses and boosters recommended in the UK. Most travellers will also require hepatitis A and tetanus vaccinations. If you’re deemed to be at an increased risk, your healthcare professional may recommend hepatitis B, rabies and typhoid vaccinations.[1]

To understand which vaccinations you require, you should visit your healthcare practitioner 6-8 weeks before you travel.

If you’re travelling to resorts in Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba for up to 15 days, you’ll receive free entry permission when you arrive in Egypt. If you intend to travel out of these areas, or stay in these areas for longer than 15 days, you must get a visa for your visit.

You can obtain a visa before you travel, either online or from your nearest Egyptian consulate. These visas are then valid for three months. If you arrive in Egypt without a visa, you’ll still be able to get one from approved bank kiosks within the airport. These are then valid for a maximum of 30 days.

In 2018, almost half a million Brits visited Egypt and most visits were trouble free. But there are still some things you should know before you travel.

As well as the COVID-19 travel restricitions that are currently in place, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) also advise against all travel to the Governorate of North Sinai, and against all but essential travel to:

• The Governorate of South Sinai, except the area within the Sharm el Sheikh perimeter barrier, which includes the airport and the areas of Sharm el Maya, Hadaba, Naama Bay, Sharks Bay and Nabq.
• The area west of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta regions, excluding the coastal areas between the Nile Delta and Marsa Matruh.

If you travel to one of these areas during your holiday to Egypt, then your insurance may be invalid, so please check the latest advice from the FCDO before you travel.

Political tensions are also known to arise in Egypt, and you should always listen to the advice of Egyptian authorities during your trip. It’s unwise to get involved in any protests or demonstrations, as these can quickly escalate. You should also never publicise strongly negative opinions about Egypt or make political comments. There have been reports of derogatory comments on social media leading to custodial sentences .

You should also be aware that Egypt is culturally different to the UK and follows Islamic customs. This means that you should refrain from making public displays of affection towards your partner, as these are frowned upon.

Similarly, the way you dress in public is important. Shorts are only socially acceptable at beach resorts, while shirts for men and women should always cover the shoulders. If you’re visiting a site of cultural importance like a mosque, then men are expected to be covered from the shoulder to below the knee, while women should be covered from wrist to ankle. You’ll also be expected to remove your shoes or wear overshoes.

Before you arrive in Egypt, it’s wise to familiarise yourself with Islamic customs and traditions – particularly if you plan on leaving a resort regularly, or will be visiting the home of a local.

SCHENGEN TRAVEL INSURANCE

Our schengen travel insurance offers essential coverage for your trip, including the required insurance certificate for schengen visa applications, why is it crucial to have schengen insurance while travelling in europe.

Travellers must meet these requirements, which include coverage for emergency medical expenses, repatriation of remains, and a minimum coverage of €30,000.

Not every traveller needs a Schengen Visa for Schengen Area visits, given that countries such as the U.S.A., Mexico, Brazil, and Canada maintain visa-free agreements with the Schengen Zone. Nevertheless, it is highly advisable to secure insurance since your medical expenses, or any potential costs arising from unexpected incidents during your journey, may lack coverage without proper travel insurance. Opting for travel insurance is particularly beneficial if you intend to explore multiple Schengen countries or desire flexibility in your itinerary, offering comprehensive coverage across most European nations.

Everything you need to know about Schengen Travel Insurance

What does a schengen insurance policy usually cover .

 A Schengen insurance policy is a specific type of travel insurance designed to fulfil the visa requirements for individuals travelling to the Schengen Area. The Schengen Area comprises 26 European countries that have abolished passport control at their mutual borders, allowing for easier travel within the region. A Schengen insurance policy typically covers the following:

1. Coverage for the entire itinerary : The insurance policy should cover the entire duration of your stay in the Schengen Area, from entry to exit.

When obtaining Schengen travel insurance, communicate your travel itinerary and ensure the policy explicitly mentions coverage for all the Schengen space. This is crucial for meeting the visa requirements and ensuring adequate travel coverage within the Schengen Area.

2. Non-Flexible coverage : You cannot change the dates of your travel insurance once it is issued.

Can I purchase Schengen travel insurance after arriving in the Schengen Area?

Can i get a refund on my travel insurance if my schengen visa application is refused.

Whether you can get a refund on your travel insurance after a Schengen visa application is refused depends on the terms and conditions of the insurance policy you purchased. In general, travel insurance policies have different refund policies, and it's essential to review the specific terms outlined in your policy documentation or contact your insurance provider for clarification. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Refund policies: Some travel insurance policies may have a refund provision in case of a visa refusal. This could be subject to certain conditions outlined in the policy.

2. Reasons for refusal: The refund eligibility may depend on the visa refusal. Some policies may only offer refunds in specific situations, such as visa denials due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the applicant's control.

3. Documentation requirements: You may need documentation confirming the visa refusal to request a refund. This could include the visa rejection letter issued by the consulate or embassy.

4. Cancellation period: Policies often have a specific period during which you can cancel and seek a refund. This period may vary among insurance providers.

5. Administrative fees: Some insurance providers may charge administrative fees for processing a refund request. Be aware of any associated fees that may apply.

7. Communication with insurance provider: If you find yourself in a situation where your Schengen visa application is refused, promptly communicate with your insurance provider. They can provide guidance on the refund process and any applicable terms.

It's crucial to thoroughly review your insurance policy and contact your provider to understand the specific refund conditions and requirements. Remember that each insurance provider may have different policies, so that the refund process can vary.

With a commitment to transparency, flexibility, and customer satisfaction, reaching out to Allianz Travel ensures reliable support during challenging situations. For a trustworthy solution, consider Allianz Travel as your go-to provider for confidently navigating the refund process.  

Do I need Schengen travel insurance as a passport-holding UAE resident?

The need to apply for a Schengen visa if you want to visit the Schengen space does NOT depend on your country of residence but on your nationality. 

For example: if you are an American citizen living in the UAE, you do not need to apply to a Schengen visa before your trip. You will get a visa on arrival. However, if your are an Indian citizen living in the UAE, you will need to apply for a Schengen visa before your trip. 

Therefore, you need to check what the requirements are for your nationality - if you plan to travel with friends, you may not need to follow the same steps even if you are travelling together on the same dates.

If you need a Schengen visa, then the visa requirements are the same for all when it comes to travel insurance:

1. Mandatory requirement : Schengen visa regulations typically mandate that applicants provide proof of travel insurance coverage as part of the visa application.

2. Minimum coverage requirements : The insurance coverage should meet specific requirements, including a minimum amount (commonly €30,000) and coverage for your intended stay in the Schengen Area.

3. Insurance certificate : You must submit an insurance certificate or confirmation letter from the insurance provider along with your visa application. This document should clearly outline the coverage details, including the coverage amount, coverage period, and countries covered.

4. Coverage for medical emergencies : The insurance should cover medical emergencies and repatriation, ensuring you have financial coverage in case of unexpected medical expenses during your stay in the Schengen Area.

Failure to provide the required travel insurance or submitting insurance that does not meet the specified criteria may result in rejection of your Schengen visa application.

Before securing Schengen travel insurance, it's advisable to carefully review the consulate or embassy requirements of the Schengen country you plan to visit. Allianz Travel's commitment to compliance, comprehensive coverage, and clear documentation makes them a trusted choice for meeting Schengen travel insurance requirements. 

Do I need COVID protection for my Schengen travel insurance?

COVID-19 travel insurance depends on each country - therefore there is not any specific requirement that covers all Schengen space countries. You need to check the particular country or countries you are planning to visit. 

Once you have checked what the COVID-19 requirements are for the country of destination, you can then check what the insurance provider covers - if somehting is unclear to oyu, do not hesitate to contact the travel insurance company who will be able to help you. 

Remember that travel regulations and insurance coverage related to COVID-19 may evolve, so it's essential to stay informed and check for any updates or changes in requirements before your trip.

Given the evolving nature of travel regulations and COVID-19 coverage. Allianz Travel's proactive approach, comprehensive coverage, and customer-focused communication make them reliable for addressing your COVID-19-related travel insurance needs.

9. Reimbursement or payment : If your claim is approved, the insurer will arrange for reimbursement or payment per the policy terms.

It's important to initiate the claims process promptly and provide accurate and complete information to expedite the assessment. Keep copies of all documentation for your records, and maintain open communication with the insurance provider.
