Is travel insurance required for New Zealand citizens visiting Egypt?

While travel insurance is not mandatory for New Zealand citizens visiting Egypt, it is strongly recommended by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). Here's why:

• Limited medical facilities: Medical standards in Egypt may not be on par with those in New Zealand. In case of illness or injury, travel insurance can cover medical expenses, including hospitalization and medical evacuation, which can be very costly.
• Unexpected events: Travel insurance can provide coverage for various unforeseen circumstances, such as trip cancellation, flight delays, lost luggage, and personal liability.
