Egypt is one of the world’s most intriguing tourist destinations, known for its ancient culture, the Pyramids of Giza, the Nile River, Islamic legacy, Red Sea resorts, and rich cultural history. Every year, many Pakistani nationals travel to Egypt for tourism, business, family visits, religious studies, and conferences.
Pakistani passport holders must obtain a visa before visiting Egypt. Egypt does not offer visa-on-arrival or eVisas to regular Pakistani passport holders. Applications are normally submitted through Egypt’s Embassy in Islamabad. Visa approval is still at the discretion of the Egyptian authorities. Many applicants from Multan, Islamabad and Rawalpindi prefer expert visa assistance to ensure accurate documentation.
