‘Egypt’
popularly known as the cultural and political hub of the Middle East.
It is a country in North Africa with Egypt is famous for one of the
world’s most ancient civilizations (more than 5000 years) and for
housing the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Well more about this
beautiful country you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt.
Well, it was our first international travel together outside India and we had
planned the whole trip on our own without the help of any travel agency.
As per the visa rules for Indians and some other countries, we had to
show the ticket and hotel bookings for getting visa. Getting tourist visa is not difficult for Egypt and if applying from India, you can apply to Mumbai or
Delhi consulate for a visa. What you need to do is download a form from
embassy site and fill it up. They need a copy of your travel ticket (to
& fro) and your hotel Booking which you might have to do on net
in case you are not going along with a travel agency. But you need these
documents and a fee of 750/- INR (that’s what we paid per person check
for the latest). And now the best part you need not be present for your
visa part, you can give an authorization letter to someone and he/she
can submit and collect the passport from Embassy. Easy right! you can
save a few leaves here itself.
