I’m an American, thinking of visiting Egypt soon, but for medical reasons I cannot and will not wear masks. EVER. I would never even consider going, if there are still any covid mask mandates for airlines, airports, public transport, stores, museums, souks, etc. Are masks still required anywhere in Egypt at present?

Nope, nothing at all like that.

I live in Egypt, but have not seen anyone wearing any masks or any mask requirements at all.

Thank you!

What about Egyptair or other domestic airlines? I will be dependent on them if I go. Their website says that masks are required on their flights, but perhaps those are now outdated? Which makes me wonder about an airiine that doesn’t update their website with stuff like that! Does anyone have any recent experience with that on Egyptian carriers?

Flew with them a few months ago.

Masks were not mandatory.
