Traveler Tips

Egyptian customs and immigration
In Cairo, you will first pass through immigration control at the airport to have your passport checked. You then proceed to collect your luggage, pass through customs and enter the arrivals hall. Here, you will be greeted by your Go Ahead Tour Director. If you have experienced any problem with your luggage, please inform your tour director immediately, so that he or she may deal with the airline’s claims procedure before you leave the airport.

Safety
As dictated by Egyptian Tourism Police, all foreign groups must be accompanied by an armed guard and in most cases, a convoy. Be aware of your surroundings, as pickpockets are active at tourist sites. We recommend leaving your passport in the hotel safe, and concealing credit cards and cash in a money belt or a hidden pouch. It is also a good idea to bring photocopies of your passport, credit cards and other important documents. Keep them separate from the originals.
