Solo traveling to Egypt as an 17 year old.

Solo traveling to Egypt as an 17 year old.

I’ve got my accommodations already solved. But my question is. Are there any documents that I need to enter Egypt as an 17 year old or will it be the same as just traveling through Europe. Of course I got my passport at least 6 months before expiration and I will buy my visas on airport. But I’m just wondering if they will even let me in. My airline allows travelling under 18.

Welcome

dont know. You could check if there is an Egyptian Embassy/consulate in your country and ask them.

Something you may want to check on is any VACCINATIONS you may need or want. And if you plan to travel more, you may want to consider getting some. Some maybe good for years or a lifetime.

good luck

Check the terms of your travel insurance to see if you can authorise/claim for treatment or you need someone over 18 to do so.

First I would ask this question on the Egypt Forum.

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowForum-g294200-i9124-Egypt.html

There are a lot of contributers so you should get some information.

My concern is have you been before? Do you understand the customs, the haggling and how you can be distracted into going via member of family etc? If not you really need to read up on it.

If you are just going to a resort you still need to know a bit.

At least you are male. I think you may need proof of this accommodation, so hope it's a reservation or a tourist package. I'd also see if you can contact the Egyptian Embassy in your country, they have an office in Bratislava. I know you aren't that far from there. You may need proof of health insurance, also. I don't know for sure but those can be typical rules on the books for travel, even if border control may only scrutinize people under suspicions for some reason. At least 17 might not be so bad, compared to younger ages.
