 Also, should I come equipped with foreign currency or use a credit card without foreign transaction fees for purchases while in Egypt? Okay, let's talk about both of this. One, it's an easy answer. Visa on arrival in Cairo. Piece of cake. They'll charge you. You'll put it on your credit card. It's about anywhere from $20 to $50. And the stamp's in there. You're in and out. You don't have to go to any Egyptian consulate to go through the paperwork in the U.S. That's number one.
