Luxury Egypt Tours from Canada

If you are planning an Egypt vacation and one of our Egypt tours from Canada, you are probably wondering how you will travel to Egypt from Canada. Are there direct flights from Canada to Cairo, Egypt and from which cities in Canada? What are the prices of airline tickets for flights to Egypt, and when is the best time to buy them?

The international flight from Canada to Egypt is not included in the price of our Egypt tours from Canada. However, the Inside Egypt team can help you book the flights to Egypt from Canada and back if needed. We will compare offers from different airlines and check different options to present you with the best connection for your flight to Egypt at the best price.

We know from experience that it is best to buy a ticket several months in advance to get the best deal (3-6 months before the date of your Egypt trip from Canada). You should stay on the flight to Egypt at the last minute to purchase, as it is likely that there will be no places available or the flight to Egypt will be very expensive.

It is worth mentioning that EgyptAir - Egypt's national airline flies several times a week directly from Cairo to Toronto, Canada (Lester B. Pearson International Airport). It is the shortest and the only direct flight from Canada to Egypt. The flight from Cairo, Egypt to Toronto, Canada takes 11h 30m, and from Toronto, Canada to Cairo, Egypt 10h 20m.

Flights to Cairo, Egypt from major Canadian cities such as Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Halifax are available with one or more stops.

When paying with a card for one of Egypt tour packages from Canada, your account will be debited with the amount straight away. Our price is shown in US dollars, rather than the Canadian Dollar, which means that when making a transaction, it will be converted.

You can also pay for an Egypt trip from Canada by international transfer in US dollars. For the wire transfer option, any fees charged are to be covered by the person paying.

If your Egypt tour departure date from Canada is more than 90 days away, you can pay the deposit ($1000 per person) or the full amount. However, if there are fewer than 90 days until your departure you will need to pay the full amount on confirmation.

When joining one of our tours and traveling to Egypt from Canada, in addition to a valid passport (valid for at least six months from the date you plan to return from Egypt), you must also have an Egyptian tourist visa (Canada visa to Egypt).
The tourist visa requirement applies to all Canadians traveling to Egypt. The cost of the visa is $ 25 (single visa) or $ 60 (multiple visa) per person, and the visa is valid for a maximum of 30 days.

Suppose you are traveling to Egypt from Canada with a Canadian passport. In that case, you should purchase a tourist visa in advance at Egyptian diplomatic missions in Canada like the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Ottawa. 

Canadians visiting the Sinai Peninsula, including the popular resort of Sharm El Sheikh, are exempt from the obligation to purchase a visa. However, this is only on the condition that during their stay they will not travel outside the Sinai Peninsula. If they would like to visit Luxor or Cairo, for example, they also have to pay a visa fee. At passport control, Canadian tourists will receive a stamp that will entitle them to a 14-day stay in the Sinai Peninsula.

For more information before your Egypt tour from Canada, see the travel advice and advisories for Egypt prepared by the Canadian government. This will make sure that you're fully prepared to travel to Egypt from Canada.

Are there any Egypt-to-Canada travel restrictions in place due to COVID-19?  The short answer to this question is no. Egypt does not require any vaccinations from Canadian travelers to Egypt and has eased restrictions on Covid-19. You can travel to Egypt from Canada without showing a negative PCR test or a complete COVID-19 vaccine series at the airport in Cairo.

However, it should be remembered that coronavirus (COVID-19) is infectious. It can spread from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.

It is recommended that all travelers who plan Egypt tours from Canada or travel to Egypt from Canada complete a Covid-19 vaccine series along with any additional recommended doses in Canada before traveling.
Evidence shows that vaccines effectively prevent severe illness and hospitalization from Covid-19. While the vaccination provides better protection against serious illness, you may still be at risk of infection from the virus that causes Covid-19. Anyone who has not completed a vaccine series is at increased risk of being infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 and severe illness when you travel to Egypt from Canada and during tours. 

Remember that the coronavirus spreads more easily in crowded places, with close contact and in confined spaces with poor ventilation. Risk increases where these factors overlap. For your safety, you should therefore keep a social distance, and wear face masks at airports, on coaches, and in museums or other crowded closed spaces.

Public medical facilities in Egypt are not of as high a standard as in Canada and private facilities are very expensive. Make sure you get travel insurance that includes coverage for medical situations and hospital stays to put your mind at ease during the Egypt tours from Canada.

When planning Egypt tours from Canada or your travel to Egypt from Canada, you will wonder whether to take Canadian dollars to Egypt or if it's better to take another currency with you.

At the airport in Cairo, you will need US dollars (cash) to purchase an Egyptian tourist visa for $25.

In Egypt, Canadian dollars can be used in exchange offices and banks. However, it is worth remembering that at the exchange office at the airport in Cairo, the Canadian dollar exchange rate will be very unfavorable. It will be similar in the hotel exchange office. In Egypt, Canadian dollar coins are very hard to sell, with many being unacceptable.
The current exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the Egyptian pound (Egyptian pound to Cad) can be checked HERE. 


You can also withdraw cash from an ATM in Egyptian currency - Egyptian pounds. ATMs can be found in most 5-star hotels and large towns. In small towns and villages on your Egypt tours from Canada you may not find ATMs and may struggle to pay by card. Just in case, it is always worth having a small amount of cash in Egyptian currency with you at all times during your tour.

It is better to tip Egyptians in local currency or US dollars during your Egypt trip from Canada. Canadian dollars can come as a big surprise to Egyptians, who are used to receiving tips in Egyptian pounds, US dollars, euros and British pounds. Read our guide on tipping in Egypt where we talk about how much you should tip for different services on your tour.

Egypt is a place that never ceases to amaze - with its oriental beauty, magnificent history, interesting culture and wonderful landscapes. Are you planning to join one of our tours from Canada to admire the beauty of the land of the pharaohs for yourself? If so, pack your suitcase with the required essentials before joining the Egypt tour from Canada. Here's what you should consider before traveling to Egypt from Canada.

PASSPORT
Your passport will allow you to travel to Egypt from Canada. This needs to be valid for a minimum of 6 months from the date of your planned return from Egypt. It should also be remembered that Canadian citizens who travel to Egypt from Canada need to get a visa (Canada visa Egypt). The visa can be applied for at the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Canada like the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Ottawa.

MONEY
The currency used in Egypt is the Egyptian Pound. However, bringing US dollars on an Egypt trip from Canada is best. US dollars can be changed to Egyptian pounds at many ATMs or exchange shops.

MEDICINES AND COSMETICS
Below is a list of the medications and cosmetics that we would recommend that you take with you for your Egypt trip from Canada:

- All medication that you currently take, as this may not be available in Egypt
- Painkillers and antipyretic tablets
- Anti-sickness and antidiarrheal drugs
- Suncreams with a high factor for your face and body
- Creams to help with possible sunburn
- Dressings and plasters for possible blisters and small cuts
- Electrolytes - to strengthen the body
- Wet wipes and hand sanitizer for use in public areas
- Mosquito repellent and cream/gels for mosquito bites (these can be useful during a cruise on the Nile)
- Throat lozenges (air conditioning may dry the throat)
- Activated charcoal
- Ointment with an antibiotic for cuts.
Attention! In Egypt, preventive vaccinations and COVID-19 vaccinations are recommended but are not compulsory.
If the pharaoh's revenge in Egypt catches you, then Antinal, which is an over-the-counter drug in local pharmacies, will help.

CLOTHES
In addition to standard summer clothes in light colors made of cotton, linen, silk and viscose, such as airy dresses, trousers, blouses or t-shirts, it is also worth having comfortable, warm clothing to wear during our Egypt tours from Canada. Why would you need warm clothing, you ask? If you are visiting Egypt in the cooler months you will need clothing that protects you from the wind and lower temperatures; especially in the early morning or evening. A sweatshirt, sweater, or windbreaker jacket will be perfect.
A summer hat or cap and sunglasses are also useful when visiting Egypt from Canada. Women can take a scarf to wear over their shoulders. This will also come in handy when visiting mosques on your tour from. Also, remember to pack comfortable footwear that’s not new. There will be lots of walking around monuments and temples. We recommend sports sandals or sports shoes.

CAMERA /PHONE
Capture beautiful moments during your tour from Canada that you will later remember with your family, by using a camera or a smartphone. Also, do not forget to bring chargers for these devices and a power bank for when you're out and about.
Remember, if you are calling Canada from Egypt to contact family or friends, be aware of the time difference between Canada and Egypt, and of course check the costs with your phone provider, as these differ.
