Where to Eat & Drink
Before You Arrive
Restaurants
Reservations are strongly recommended for popular Nile-side and Zamalek tables, especially Thursday–Saturday evenings. Your hotel concierge can book ahead for you.
Transport
Ride-hailing via Uber is plentiful and inexpensive, and a private driver for the day is easily arranged through your hotel. Allow extra time for Cairo traffic, as the airport is roughly an hour from most hotels.
Weather
Mid-November in Cairo is mild and dry, bringing low-to-mid-20s°C by day and cooler evenings. Comfortable layers during the day; a jacket or wrap for the evening.
Currency
The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the local currency. Cards are widely accepted in hotels and major restaurants; carry some cash for markets, cafés, and taxis. ATMs are plentiful across the city.
Entry & Visas
If you're traveling on a U.S.A, Canadian, or European passport, you can obtain your tourist visa upon arrival in Egypt.
For our Lebanese guests, a visa is generally not required in advance if you are 50 years of age or older, 16 years of age or younger, hold a valid U.S., Canadian, U.K., or Schengen visa, or have a valid GCC residency permit. Otherwise, you will need to apply for an Egyptian visa at the Egyptian Consulate in Lebanon at least one month before the wedding date.
