If you are planning a trip to Egypt from Australia and are joining our luxury Egypt tours, you are surely wondering whether any vaccinations for Egypt from Australia required.

Egypt does not require any compulsory vaccinations from Australian tourists traveling to Egypt on vacation. However, before you go on vacation to Egypt, you should check the validity and effectiveness of the vaccinations that you have. Vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus and polio are especially important. If you have immunity, everything is fine, if you have lost it, you should get an updated vaccination.

Doctors recommend the following vaccinations before traveling to Egypt from Australia: vaccination against COVID-19, vaccination against hepatitis A and B, tetanus vaccination, vaccination against typhoid, and vaccination against meningitis. This will save you stress during the holidays and allow you to enjoy your Egypt vacation instead of worrying about your health.

The most common health problems facing Australians in Egypt are stomach problems. Different foods, bacterial flora and sources of water that contain microorganisms can contribute to abdominal pain and diarrhea. You must have a supply of activated charcoal in your first aid kit. Never drink water from the tap, even after boiling, and buy bottled water. Be careful when shopping for groceries on street stalls.

Another common problem that makes life difficult for tourists in Egypt is the strong sun. Sunstroke and sunburn can occur if we are not protected from the sun. Therefore, on Egypt tours from Australia, you should take airy, bright, body-covering clothes and headwear. Cover the exposed parts of your body every few hours with a cream with a sunscreen of at least 15, but the highest factor is recommended. Good sunglasses with both UVA and UVB filters will also be useful.

To avoid mosquito bites on your Nile cruise, as well as mosquito-borne diseases, use insect repellent. It is best to stock up on such specifics before traveling to Egypt from Australia.

Avoid contact with wild dogs and cats during your tour. Especially when these animals are not skittish and approach people on their own.

Over-the-counter or prescription drugs in Australia may also be available over the counter in Egypt and pharmacies in Egypt are very well stocked. However, some medications may even be considered illegal or controlled substances in Egypt, even when prescribed by a physician in Australia. If you plan to bring medication for your own use, take only enough medication for your trip to Egypt from Australia. If you take any medications that would raise concerns of Cairo airport staff, carry a copy of your prescription or a letter from your doctor stating that these are for your own use while you're on your tour of Egypt.

Be sure to purchase comprehensive travel insurance for when you travel to Egypt from Australia as the level of health care in Egypt varies greatly.

It is wiser to do this at a bank or currency exchange office and transfer Egyptian pounds from AUD.
The current exchange rate of the Australian dollar against the Egyptian pound according to the National Bank of Egypt can be checked HERE.
You can withdraw cash from an ATM in Egyptian currency - Egyptian pounds. ATMs can be found in most 5-star hotels and large towns.
