Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- UAE: Embassy or consulate in advance, 14 days. Issued at the border to holders of certain US, UK or EU residence or visit visas. Usually arranged by the airline or hotel.
- Egypt: e-Visa online before you go, 30 days. Issued at the border to GCC residents and some organised tour groups.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.

Dubai and Egypt in 9 days: the skyline, the pyramids and a Nile cruise
Dubai → Cairo → Luxor → Edfu → Kom Ombo → Aswan
Three days in Dubai, then six working up the Nile from Cairo to Aswan with three nights on a boat. The flight that makes the pairing obvious, what a cruise fare does and does not include, and the one thing in Egypt that costs more in patience than money.
