Most Europeans need a visa to enter Egypt, but for citizens of the EU, the process is straightforward: they can obtain a visa on arrival at Egyptian airports or apply in advance for an e-visa online. The standard tourist visa is usually valid for 30 days and costs around US$25 (~€22) for a single entry. A few exceptions exist, such as citizens of some Balkan or Eastern European countries who may have different requirements, but for the majority of European travellers, entry is simple and does not require securing a visa through an embassy beforehand.

While cheap Economy Light prices like that are not that uncommon, the current sale makes travelling with checked far cheaper than usual, with the ComfortFlex available at a fraction of its usual cost.
Editor’s Note: This is a fairly nice offer by itself, but the notable discount on higher fare classes makes it special. I flew on Aegean’s nighttime rotation to Cairo in late 2022. While you have to spend two hotel nights extra – lodging in Cairo is cheap, so it is not a huge downside.

Information & Tips for Cairo
Cairo, Egypt’s sprawling capital, is best known for the nearby Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, as well as the Egyptian Museum, which houses a vast collection of ancient artifacts. The local currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP), and while Cairo is generally affordable, prices can vary widely—meals and transport are cheap, but some tourist sites and hotels can be pricey. Summers are extremely hot and dry, often exceeding 35°C (95°F), while winters are milder and more comfortable for sightseeing.
