Any itinerary at TrovaTrip that has a domestic flight - a flight within the country you're visiting - will require a passport in order for our Trip Operator to book your spot on that flight.

If you choose to obtain a visa upon arrival, you will need to pay in cash.

If possible, it will be appreciated if your clothing covers your shoulders and knees, though there will be no locations you are taken on our itineraries that will require this to permit entry.

We'd recommend you bring something to cover your hair, just in case.

If your trip includes a hotel with a pool, you are encouraged to choose more modest swimsuit options.

Travelers are encouraged to ask their guide for safe dining recommendations. That said, groups regularly go out on their own without issue!

The armed guard will only be present when the guide, driver, and guard are accompanying the group during scheduled activities.

Tap water should not be used for drinking or brushing teeth.

You will be drinking a lot of bottled water, but bringing a reusable water bottle is still recommended!

Yes, if you have a private room for the duration of the trip you will also have a private train car on the overnight sleeper train.

Yes, 1 checked bag for each traveler weighing equal to or less than 50lbs (23kg) is included.

There is not, so we'd recommend you come prepared with your favorites pre-downloaded.

There are two levels, but there are no cabins or enclosed areas. You will be sleeping in the lower level, where there is a shared sleeping space. If you'd like, you can also choose to sleep on the upper level, under the stars!

You will be provided with a blanket and pillow, and you can bring a sleeping bag if you'd like. During the cooler months, a sleeping bag can be rented locally.

The felucca has one shared bathroom.

Your accommodation will be in a cozy yet compact two-bunk bed cabin. Despite the limited quarters, the cabin is equipped with air conditioning, a small washbasin, a mirror, a power socket, and a convertible lower bed that transforms into chairs and a table.

Shared bathrooms, one per carriage, are part of the experience. Bedding is provided, and you'll keep your luggage within the cabin. It's recommended to lock the compartment doors from the inside during the night to safeguard your personal belongings.

Please be aware that the train lacks common spaces, so both dinner and breakfast are served directly in your cabin.

Depending on your itinerary, you may have access to a day-use room. These rooms are available for a few hours during the day—usually late morning to afternoon—so you can rest and freshen up before your overnight sleeper train, making your journey more comfortable. Typically, 4–5 travelers will share a day-use room.

Yes, hotels typically allow luggage storage; however, you should be sure to follow the recommended luggage guidelines.

The majority of places in Egypt only accept Egyptian pounds.

Travelers should be prepared to tip more frequently than they may be accustomed to, particularly bathroom attendants.
