Flying to Egypt from Toronto
EgyptAir operates direct flights from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to Cairo International Airport (CAI), with an average flight time of around 10 hours 25 minutes. This is currently the only nonstop option on this route — other airlines (Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Etihad, Qatar Airways) fly from Toronto to Cairo with one stop, which can sometimes work out cheaper depending on the season.
Best time to book: Flight prices from Toronto to Cairo are generally lowest in October, and booking at least 5 weeks ahead typically saves on fares.
Do Canadians Need a Visa for Egypt?
Yes. Canadian citizens need a visa to enter Egypt for tourism. You have two easy options:
eVisa (recommended): Apply online in advance through Egypt’s official visa portal. Costs $25 USD for a single-entry visa valid for 30 days, with approval typically taking about 5-7 business days.
Visa on arrival: Available at Cairo International Airport and other major entry points. Also $25 USD, payable in cash on arrival — but during peak season (winter months), immigration queues can be long, so we recommend applying for your eVisa before you travel.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date in Egypt.
Currency: Egypt uses the Egyptian Pound (EGP). US dollars and Canadian dollars are both accepted at hotels and by tour operators for reference pricing, and ATMs are widely available in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan.
Best time to visit: October through April offers the most comfortable temperatures for sightseeing, while December and January are peak season — booking early is recommended.
Is Egypt safe for Canadian tourists? Yes — Egypt welcomes millions of international visitors each year, including many Canadians. Major tourist sites are well-staffed and secure, and travelling with a private guide as part of an organised tour is the safest, most comfortable way to see the country.
