Family and Group Travel Tips for Serbian Visitors to Egypt

Traveling to Egypt with family or in a group can be a rewarding and memorable experience for Serbian citizens. To make the journey smoother, a bit of extra planning can help ensure everyone stays comfortable, safe, and well-prepared.

1. Apply for eVisas Together: When possible, submit all eVisa applications at the same time to avoid delays or inconsistent approvals. Use the same email address to track and manage applications for group members.
2. Prepare Copies of All Documents: Bring printed and digital copies of passports, eVisas, hotel bookings, and emergency contacts for every group member. This ensures quick access to important information when needed.
3. Plan Accommodation in Advance: Book hotels or rentals that accommodate the entire group comfortably, ideally near major attractions or public transportation to minimize local travel time.
4. Organize Group Transfers: Arrange airport pickups or private transportation in advance, especially for larger groups, to avoid confusion or long waits upon arrival.
5. Stay Together in Crowded Areas: Egypt’s tourist spots can be busy, especially during peak seasons. Assign a meeting point in case anyone gets separated and consider using group messaging apps for quick communication.
6. Include Family-Friendly Activities: For families with children or seniors, include a balance of historical sites, leisure time, and rest breaks in your itinerary. Consider visiting places with cultural shows, boat rides, or light tours.
