FAQs - READ ME

Expand/Close
Is THIS trip for me?

This is for my adventure girls, the ones that know how to have a good time and dont complain about longer road trips because we all know the best parts of the world are just a bit further from the main cities. Its for the girls that want to see outside the cities in Egypt, the ladies that love an adventure and dont mind camping for a night under the stars and dancing around a camp fire. This is for the adventurer seekers that can enjoy a night of camping and a good local homemade meal. The ladies that understand not all areas were visiting have luxury hotels. This is for those that want to see parts of Egypt you wont find on any other itinerary, that want to explore outside Cairo and have a good time doing it. If this is you – pack a few swimsuits, a positive attitude and get ready for a thrilling week of fun in Egypt that you will not forget.

Is Egypt Safe?

This will be my (Rachel) 7th trip to Egypt in the last 3 years. I would never personally travel somewhere that I felt was dangerous nor would I take people in my community somewhere that I felt was too dangerous either. I visit Egypt for weeks at a time doing plenty of things solo and feel very safe doing so. I want people to experience and leave Egypt with as much love as I have for this place – thats why I enjoy sharing it so often with people in the community. If you have specific safety concerns you’re welcome to message me directly on Instagram. The climate in surrounding countries has not affected tourism in Egypt. It is “business as usual” in Egypt, I will of course offer any safety recommendations I have before the trip if I think of anything that needs to be shared.

Is Travel Insurance required?

Travel Insurance is required for this trip. You can get a quote on aardy.com – our favorite is Travel Guard by AIG.

Can I pick my roommate?

Yep! You can pick your roommate, so sign up with a friend if you’d like! You can room with your sister, your bestie, your wife, whoever you want!

We also do a full roommate survey before each trip for the majority of people that come solo!

Can I have a single room?

Yes, single rooms are available for this trip. When you sign up – make sure you add that to your booking before checking out.

What are the Visa Requirements?

When you land at the airport a Visa can be purchased for 25 USD (cash is easier then card).
