Can I use drones in Egypt?

No, drones are generally not allowed for personal use in Egypt. Strict regulations require special permits, and bringing a drone into the country without approval may result in confiscation or fines. Only approved commercial or scientific projects may receive permits. For aerial photography, check with authorities and your tour operator in advance. Our team can advise about the latest regulations and alternatives for capturing scenic views.

What’s the best time for golden hour photos?

Golden hour—the period just after sunrise and before sunset—offers the best light for stunning photos in Egypt. This usually occurs about an hour after sunrise (around 6:30–7:30 am) and an hour before sunset (about 5:00–6:00 pm, seasonally adjusted). Plan visits to the pyramids, temples, and the Nile at these times for warm, soft light and dramatic scenes. Our team can recommend specific sites and the perfect timing for memorable golden hour shots.

Do I need special permits for professional photography?

Professional photography, especially with large equipment or for commercial purposes, often requires special permits at historical sites, museums, or inside tombs. Drone use is strictly regulated and generally not allowed. For personal use (camera, phone), you are free to photograph most outdoor locations, but always check local rules—some areas restrict photography. Our team can advise about needed permits and assist with arrangements for official shoots during your trip.

What are the photography rules at monuments?

Photography is allowed outdoors at most monuments, but restrictions apply inside temples, tombs, and museums—often no flash or tripods, and sometimes no photos at all. Some locations charge a fee for cameras. Commercial shoots and drones require advance permits. Always respect signs and staff instructions, and be mindful of other visitors. Our team provides up-to-date information and assistance for responsible photography on your trip.
