- There are suggestions that we should use VPN connection to our computers, due to Egyptian internet restrictions.
- We should not use ANY public Wi-Fi, not even in the COP venue. The risk for hacking is too big. Instead, we are advised to buy local SIM cards (available in the airport, 150-200 EGP).
- When arriving to Sharm airport there are shuttle busses to most hotels. There should also be a stand, where it is possible to ask. It is not a good idea to take a “white taxi” due to security reasons. A taxi to downtown should cost around 400 EGP.
With the purpose of providing further information regarding logistics as follows:
1. You do not need a COVID 19 test to enter Egypt. Only a valid Covid certificate is required.
2. Airport: All international travelers have a separate baggage collection area. Please ask airport security to avoid delays and confusion.
3. Airport transfer: Taxis are available and are paid in cash. Please exchange your currency at the airport. They on average charge USD 20- 50 but hardly issue receipts.. If you need transportation with receipt, get to contact the hotel you're staying in and they can avail transport.
4. Sharm is generally secure but as usual, please take care of your items.
5. If you intend to buy a local line, please show them the UNFCCC accreditation letter and you get yourself bonus 10GB for (Vodaphone at the moment ) at the airport’s exit gate.
5. Kindly notify our logistics focal point on any logistical challenges you face. His email is zaid.shawabkeh@actalliance.org. Contact +962799308191
