Additional Egypt Travel Insurance Policy Details

Our policies are more than affordable, so you can rest assured that your chosen travel insurance for a UK to Egypt trip with us is not going to break the bank. We do, however, want to mention that any travellers planning on engaging in extreme adventures during their visit to Egypt need to consider additional cover options, which are available to add to the above policies. This can incur additional premiums though, which adds to the cost of your Egypt travel insurance. Similarly, if you plan on travelling with gadgets during your trip, taking out gadget cover in addition to your travel insurance for your Egypt holiday is essential. This will mean that you can rest easy should your electronic devices get stolen or damaged during your trip.

There’s also the potential risk of facing a medical emergency while you are away, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition, or you might even find that you need to cancel your holiday at the very last minute. By taking out the correct travel medical insurance for Egypt, you can ensure that you don’t lose out on the money you have already paid for your trip or have to pay extra funds on your return home.

Be sure to consult with a travel insurance expert before choosing your travel insurance for Egypt so that you know that your policy offers you the level of cover that you need.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Egypt from the UK?

Much like when you’re travelling to any country around the world, Egypt is a destination where travel insurance is a must. The UK foreign travel insurance advice states that if you don’t have appropriate travel insurance before embarking on any trip abroad, you could be liable for any medical or emergency expenses should an unforeseen situation arise. 

This could include emergency medical treatment, a cancelled flight, or a natural disaster, and the costs that could build up from any of these situations could be in excess of thousands of pounds. Therefore, to avoid having to pay these costs should an incident occur whilst you’re taking your trip to Egypt, buy your Egypt travel insurance policy as soon as you’ve booked your trip to the country.

Are There Any Travel Risks in Egypt?

Egypt has been a popular travel destination amongst travellers from all over the world for decades, and we don’t expect that its popularity will diminish in the near future. However, whilst Egypt is a much-loved travel destination, there are a few things to consider before travelling to the country:

Health

Whilst there are no vaccinations required for travel to Egypt from the UK, there are some that you may want to consider getting before your trip. For example, Hepatitis A and Typhoid can both be contracted from the consumption of food and water in Egypt, so you may want to have these before travelling if you want to be extra cautious. 

If you become ill whilst you’re in Egypt, whatever travel health insurance for Egypt you’ve chosen should cover you for medical expenses incurred on your travels.

Safety

On the topic of safety in Egypt, given that the country has a high poverty rate petty theft is not uncommon here and is something that travellers need to be conscious of. Much like in any country, ensuring that you keep your belongings with you, that you don’t venture down unlit streets, and that you don’t flash any expensive items is important. 

The county is also known for its scams, so we’d advise that you do some research into the types of scams that you may encounter before you travel to Egypt from the UK.

How do I Get Emergency Assistance when in Egypt?

To get emergency assistance when you’re in Egypt, you need to contact ‘123’ from your nearest available phone, which will put you in contact with the Egypt medical services. Should you need an ambulance, this will be sent to your location or you will be given advice on where the nearest medical facility is that you can attend if you are able to do so.

As soon as you have the opportunity, contact your insurance provider if you have been referred to a medical centre or facility in order to receive an examination or emergency treatment.
