Current Travel Situation
Fiji to Egypt: What You Need to Know
Egypt offers visa on arrival to a broad range of nationalities including Fijian passport holders, as part of its strategy to promote tourism to its world-class historical and Red Sea destinations. Fiji and Egypt both participate in multilateral forums including the United Nations, facilitating diplomatic goodwill. Entry is straightforward at Cairo International Airport and Red Sea resort airports. The 30-day stay covers the vast majority of tourist itineraries.
How to Get There
Fly from Nadi (NAN) to Cairo (CAI) or Luxor (LXR) via Singapore (Singapore Airlines, EgyptAir codeshare), Sydney (Qantas, EgyptAir), or Dubai (Emirates). EgyptAir connects Cairo to Pacific-region hubs. For Red Sea resorts (Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh), many European charter flights operate; Fijians typically connect via Cairo. Total journey from Fiji is 20-26 hours.
Money & Banking
Egypt uses the Egyptian Pound (EGP). ATMs available in cities and resorts but carry some USD as a backup. USD is widely accepted in tourist areas. Daily budget varies significantly: budget 500-1,000 EGP (10-20 USD) to 2,000+ EGP for guided tours. Tipping (baksheesh) is customary and expected for most services.
Practical Tips
Carry USD 25 in cash specifically for the visa on arrival; clean, undamaged bills are preferred. Drink only bottled water throughout your stay. Dress modestly when visiting mosques and religious sites (shoulders and knees covered). Bargaining is expected in bazaars like Khan el-Khalili; start at 40% of the asking price.
