PCR test on arrival
◉ Regarding the test on arrival at Cairo International Airport, it is not available.
You can consider landing in Sharm el Sheikh, Taba, Marsa Alam or Hurghada to be able to perform the test on arrival directly at the airport, without going through a laboratory in your country of residence. Nevertheless, it may be useful to call your airline to find out if they do not impose a PCR test on boarding.
Testing positive for COVID-19 in Egypt
I had a lot of feedback from travelers who found themselves positive during the screening. I was unable to give them any information so far, but I ended up in the same situation.
If you get tested at home (directly at the hotel for example) and your result is positive, you are likely to find yourself confined and monitored until your test becomes negative. This information comes from travelers who have found themselves in this case recently.
In the event that you get tested outside and you find yourself positive, you are not normally monitored by a third party and you are free to move. That’s the case I found myself in.
I went to confine myself to my room and had what I needed delivered to me for 5 days, after which my test came back negative.
