How much does an Egypt trip cost for Filipinos? Here's an honest breakdown of the real, known costs — and where the numbers genuinely vary by traveler, so you're not left guessing.
What Drives the Cost
An Egypt trip from the Philippines has four cost components: the land tour package, your Egypt visa, international airfare, and personal extras. The land tour and visa fee are fixed and known in advance; airfare and extras vary by season, airline, and personal spending.
Land Tour Cost
₱45,999 per person, twin sharing
Leht's Travel's 5D4N Cairo & Giza joiner tour includes 4 nights hotel, daily breakfast plus select dinners (including a Nile Dinner Cruise), entrance fees per itinerary, private coach and English-speaking guide, group visa support, and a Filipino tour leader from Manila. Single supplement is ₱55,000. This is a land-only package — it doesn't include airfare.
Visa Fee
Filipino travelers need an Egypt tourist visa, applied for in advance through the Egyptian Embassy in the Philippines. The exact current fee is confirmed at application — see our Egypt visa guide for Filipinos for the full process and what to prepare.
Airfare from the Philippines
This is the most variable part of the budget. There are no direct flights from Manila to Cairo — most routes connect through a Gulf hub (Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi) or Istanbul, on carriers like Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad, or Turkish Airlines. Fares shift a lot by season and how far ahead you book, so we'd rather point you to a flight search tool for current pricing than quote a number that goes stale — check a few months before your travel dates and book once your visa timeline is confirmed.
Other Costs to Budget For
- Travel insurance — not included in the land package
- Tips for your guide and driver
- Personal expenses and shopping, especially at Khan el-Khalili
- Optional tours during your Day 4 free time
These vary a lot by personal spending habits, so we won't put a false precise number on them — budget generously if you like to shop or add optional activities.
Putting It Together
The two costs you can lock in before you fly are the ₱45,999 land tour and the Egypt visa fee (confirmed at application). Add your airfare (checked closer to your travel dates) and a personal buffer for insurance, tips, and extras, and you have your full trip budget.
