Safety precautions for COVID-19

You can’t travel anywhere and especially to Egypt without having a recent negative PCR test result certificate for COVID-19 from the home country, not more than 72 hours of your travel date. This regulation was stated from September 1, 2020.
While you’re using all the means of transportation you have to consider a maximum of 50% of the total capacity. Inside the buses or golf cars, you have to leave the seat next to you empty and for the limousine, there has to be a maximum of two passengers.
During the trip, your personal tour guide, or even the group tour leaders and the drivers are legally required to wear face masks all the time and use sterilized audio equipment inside all the sites and buildings.
Before and after any trip you may take there will be disinfection and cleaning with the proper ventilation for your safety during the ride.
Starting from the first day of September 2020 you as a tourist can visit all museums and archeological sites.
Every day before the opening hours of the museums and archeological sites there will be disinfected for all the floors and touchpoints.
There will be a number of limitations for the tourist groups to not exceed 25 people inside any tourist site.
GAT Tours will provide you with the needed face masks and gloves to use it throughout the trip.
One of the most important precautions taking is to check the employees’ temperature every day plus all the visitors before entering any indoors.
Make sure to stick to at least 1-meter physical distancing at any gathering.
There is a maximum number allowed for all the touristic sites in Egypt. Inside the museums or any indoors it’s allowed only for 100 visitors maximum per hour, but at the Egyptian
Museum in Tahrir, it is allowed for 200 visitors per hour due to its huge space.
