Egypt has had a booming tourism industry for a long time however due to the safety issues of increased criminal activity and sustained terrorist attacks, the overall number of tourists visiting Egypt has been decreasing annually for some years now. Despite this, thousands of British and European tourists still travel there each year. Therefore, it is extremely important that they buy Egypt Travel Insurance with sufficient cover for trips to certain areas of Egypt. This is because many ‘standard’ travel insurance policies will exclude travel to certain areas of Egypt which the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) may advise against “all or all but essential travel” to. Fortunately, High Risk Voyager Egypt Travel Insurance can often provide travel cover to these areas where other travel insurance policies can't.
In addition to the increased risk of crime and terrorism, Egypt also has no reciprocal healthcare agreement with the UK or the European Union. This means that you will not be able to use your EHIC in case of a medical emergency whilst visiting Egypt. Consequently, you will be required to pay any costs associated with the medical treatment you receive, from mild sunstroke to more serious medical issues, if you do not have the correct travel insurance for travel to Egypt.
With its scorching heat, vibrant culture of Cairo and awe-inspiring history from the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx to The Valley of the Kings and everything in between – It is easy to understand the attraction to Egypt. Not to mention the wonders of Karnak and the River Nile!
With all the amazing things Egypt has to offer it is easy to forget that some regions do not paint such a pretty picture, so it is imperative to get travel insurance for Egypt. Certain areas in Egypt represent higher risk and are more dangerous than others. As of 17th April 2019, The UK FCDO advise “against all travel” to the Governorate of North Sinai due to the increased risk of terrorism. They also advise “against all but essential travel” to some areas west of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta. It is important to note that these areas come very close to the popular tourist resort of Sharm el Sheikh to which they also advise “against all but essential travel by air” to. These travel advisories can change from day to day, so Click here to see the latest FCDO travel advice for Egypt.
Fortunately, High Risk Voyager Egypt Travel Insurance can provide cover to the areas mentioned above and more as it is a specialist travel insurance solution for high risk and frontline locations that can provide cover even to areas the FCDO advise “against all but essential travel” or “all travel”. This FCDO rating would usually invalidate a normal ‘standard’ type travel insurance policy.
