This tourism rule was last checked against an official government source — Official government (visa2egypt.gov.eg), on 2026-08-31. It applies to Morocco passport holders, but the exact conditions granted on the day can still differ, so keep the requirements below — and the official source in the sidebar — handy when you plan your trip.

Planning your trip to Egypt

Practical notes about Egypt — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.

The Nile Valley Between Luxor and Aswan

The stretch of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan contains the greatest concentration of ancient Egyptian monuments anywhere on the planet. Luxor, built on the site of ancient Thebes, holds the sprawling temple complex of Karnak on its eastern bank and the Valley of the Kings on the western side, where pharaohs were entombed in elaborately painted underground chambers. Across the river, the Temple of Hatshepsut clings to a cliff face, its colonnaded terraces designed to evoke the original Egyptian landscape of papyrus and lotus. Moving south, the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo stand along the riverbanks, the latter uniquely dedicated to two gods simultaneously and situated directly above a crocodile-shaped island. In Aswan, the Philae Temple was painstakingly relocated to Agilkia Island before the completion of the Aswan High Dam submerged its original home beneath Lake Nasser.

Cairo's Layers of Urban History

Cairo is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on Earth, and its urban fabric reflects layer upon layer of construction stretching back to the founding of Fustat in 641 CE. The medieval core around Al-Azhar Mosque and Khan el-Khalili bazaar retains its Ottoman and Mamluk-era character, with narrow lanes opening suddenly onto domed mausoleums and minaret-framed courtyards. The downtown district built during the 19th and early 20th centuries features European-style boulevards and Art Deco apartment blocks that hint at a different chapter of the city's past. Meanwhile, new developments in the desert to the east and west represent a twenty-first-century vision of Egypt that contrasts sharply with the organic chaos of the historic center. The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square houses one of the world's premier collections of antiquities, including the golden treasures of Tutankhamun.

Red Sea Diving and Coral Reef Ecosystems

Egypt's Red Sea coastline stretches over a thousand kilometers from the Sinai Peninsula to the Sudanese border, and its warm, crystal-clear waters host some of the most biodiverse coral reef systems in the world. The Strait of Tiran, at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba, features dramatic walls of hard coral teeming with pelagic fish, while the offshore reefs of Hurghada and Marsa Alam offer encounters with resident pods of spinner dolphins and the occasional dugong. The Brothers and Daedalus reefs, accessible only by liveaboard vessels, are remote pinnacles rising from deep water that attract large pelagic species including oceanic whitetip sharks and hammerheads. On land, the town of Dahab on the Sinai coast has cultivated a laid-back diving culture centered around the famous Blue Hole, a submerged sinkhole that drops to over 130 meters and challenges even technical divers.

Sinai Peninsula's Desert and Mountain Landscapes

The Sinai Peninsula is a triangular wedge of desert between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba, geologically and culturally distinct from the Egyptian mainland. At its southern tip, the granite mountains of Saint Catherine rise to over 2,600 meters, with the monastery at their base — one of the oldest continuously operating Christian monasteries in the world — housing icons, manuscripts, and a garden of ancient plants. The summit of Mount Sinai, traditionally identified as the site where Moses received the Ten Commandments, is reached by a pre-dawn climb that rewards hikers with a sunrise over an endless expanse of reddish peaks. The northeastern coast around Taba and Nuweiba features quieter beaches and Bedouin-run camps that offer a stark contrast to the busier resort areas further down the Red Sea Riviera.
