🎓 Student Discount Policy

🏛️ Historical Site Access
Egypt is home to a wide variety of archaeological sites, some more frequently visited than others. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities may occasionally adjust entrance fees. Always confirm the latest ticket prices with your local guide or through official channels.
💻 Booking Online
We highly recommend booking your attraction tickets online in advance — especially during high season — to avoid long queues and ensure availability. Use trusted platforms such as the official ticketing website egymonuments.com for secure reservations.
💳 Credit Card Payments
Most attractions accept major international credit cards. Be sure to enable international usage on your card and notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid unexpected payment issues.
💱 Currency & Exchange Rates
The official currency in Egypt is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). While entrance fees are displayed in EGP, online platforms may offer payment in USD or other currencies. As of now, 1 USD ≈ EGP 48. Always check current exchange rates before completing your payment.
🧭 Guided Tours
For a more immersive experience, consider joining a guided tour. Knowledgeable guides can provide deeper historical and cultural context, making your visit more engaging and meaningful — especially at archaeological sites like temples, tombs, and museums.
👕 Dress Code Guidelines
While Egypt is tourist-friendly, modest clothing is appreciated and often required at religious or sacred sites. To ensure respectful and comfortable travel:
- Wear lightweight clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
- Avoid shorts, tank tops, or low-cut tops — especially in mosques, churches, and rural areas.
- Choose comfortable walking shoes suitable for stone pathways and sandy terrain.
Following these simple dress guidelines reflects cultural awareness and may be mandatory at some attractions.
⏰ Visiting Hours
Most attractions open early in the morning and close by sunset. Check individual site schedules in advance, especially if you’re planning to attend evening shows such as the Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids or Philae Temple.
