When traveling to Egypt, there are some requirements.
● Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your period of travel to this country. All visitors to Egypt need an entry visa to enter Egypt. Some nationalities can purchase it in the airport of Cairo or Hurghada. To save some time it can be also bought online. Please check this information at the local embassy to ensure that you have everything you need well in advance of your trip.
● Travel insurance is something that is always recommended. It can save you some money and will be very useful if you experience things like medical issues or trip delays.
● Diving insurance and a valid diving certificate are mandatory, and you must present them at check-in. Hyperbaric chambers are available in Hurghada, Port Ghalib, Safaga, Marsa Alam, and Sharm El Sheikh. Divebooker provides all of our divers with short-term DAN diving insurance, which is definitely needed when onboard.
● Tipping is expected. Although tips are meant to be optional in theory, they are pretty much mandatory for Egypt. Boat crews will be very grateful if you will leave gratuities at the end of your diving trip.
● If you have any food restrictions, you should notify the liveaboard crew well in advance of your trip in order to make it possible for them to prepare food that will meet your requirements
