Your journey to timeless Egypt begins at NEW YORK. Aim to arrive ~3 hours before departure for your flight to Cairo (CAI)—the gateway to ancient pyramids, world-class museums and the Nile’s golden light. This smooth travel day sets the tone for an immersive Egypt highlights tour, from Giza’s colossal silhouettes to Old Cairo’s storied lanes.
Flight note: Routings are typically a non-stop (≈4¾–5 hours) or a convenient one-stop connection. Check your airline’s baggage allowance in the app. Pack liquids, multi-tools and large toiletries in checked bags; keep power banks, valuables, travel medication and your camera in your carry-on. Stay hydrated and stretch periodically.
After security, choose a light pre-flight snack and settle in. A neck pillow, eye mask and noise-cancelling earphones help you arrive fresher. Through the window, London’s lights recede—next stop Cairo, where minarets lace the skyline and the desert horizon glows at dusk.
Visas & entry: We provide visa guidance and entry support as per your booking. Carry your original passport (6+ months’ validity), e-tickets and travel insurance details. On arrival at CAI, proceed to Immigration, collect baggage, and meet our representative just outside Arrivals for your private transfer.
Cultural etiquette pack list: Modest outfits covering shoulders/knees for mosques and heritage sites; a light scarf/shawl (women may need to cover hair in some religious spaces); easy slip-on shoes for security checks; sun hat and high-SPF; and a light evening layer for air-conditioned venues.
Time-zone tip: Set your watch to Eastern European Time (UTC+2) on descent. Keep your airline app open for live gate and baggage updates to streamline your arrival.
As cabin lights dim and the wing sketches a silver arc towards North Africa, picture the first glimpse of the Pyramids of Giza against the desert sky—your prologue to Egypt’s millennia of stories.
