Arriving at Sphinx International Airport

Sphinx International Airport is one of Egypt’s newest gateways, located near the Giza Pyramids and west of Cairo. It was built to ease the pressure on Cairo International Airport and to serve travelers visiting Cairo, Giza, and the new Grand Egyptian Museum. For many international passengers, especially Indian nationals, Sphinx Airport has become a preferred arrival point due to its modern facilities and convenient location.

However, if you are an Indian traveler applying for an Egypt eVisa, you may come across an unexpected challenge. While completing your application on visa2egypt.gov.eg, an error may appear:

“You will not be allowed to enter the country without the guarantee of an authorized tourist agent in Egypt. It must be present at the airport upon your arrival.”

This message means you cannot enter Egypt unless you are met at the airport by an authorized travel agency that can provide a letter of guarantee.

Why Indian Travelers Need a Letter of Guarantee

For Indian passport holders, Egypt’s immigration requires an authorized local travel agent to vouch for their arrival. Without this guarantee, you may not even be allowed to board your flight, and if you arrive without it, you risk being denied entry and sent back.

This rule applies at all international airports in Egypt, including Sphinx International Airport. That is why choosing the right partner before traveling is essential.
