Camping in Egypt: Permit Requirements and Costs

Camping in Egypt's natural reserves requires a permit from the Environmental Affairs Agency, and entrance fees double after sunset. Some reserves, like Wadi El Rayan, have a separate camping fee: 50 Egyptian pounds for Egyptians and 200 for foreigners. Permits can be obtained through the 'Egypt Reserves' app or the agency's website, and for individuals, it's easier to book through licensed operators.

Egypt tourism official calls caravanning a golden opportunity for the country

Dr. Atef Abdel Latif, head of the Travel and Tourism Association, stated that caravanning is one of the fastest-growing segments of global tourism. He noted that the global market for motorhomes and caravans reached $51.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $75 billion by 2034. Egypt, with its developed infrastructure and unique natural assets, could become a regional hub for this type of tourism, provided that equipped campsites and a clear regulatory framework are established.
