Is Egypt classed as Europe

davidlizard

Different policies we have held in the past - some have Eygpt down as Africa, others as Europe.

When you have selected a policy provider, you need to check with them - its usually fairly prominent on their websites.

My Girlfriend and i are off to Sharm in January for 2 weeks all inclusive (£800 from bristol incl transfers in the Aqua blu sharm:p)

Not sure about it being Europe or not - but I'd check. Having been to Cairo it is certainly NOT Europe!! Just wanted to say that if you're off to Sharm you might like to check insurance to make sure you're covered for diving and all the extra lovelies that you can do there.

Enjoy - I'll be dreaming of the sunshine!

we got our travel insurance (for Sharm) from Insure & go and they definitely Class it as Europe (got confirmation email)

Travel supermarket (who we booked our Holiday with ) Classed it as "world wide" and wanted to Charge us accordingly !!!

PS Enjoy the Sunshine

It seems my definition of 'sunshine' and yours differs somewhat.

Clearly 'sunshine' and temperature (degrees celsius)are two different things. It can be -20 and beautifully sunny!;)

Give me a break - We both know what was meant.

20 is nice at Christmas don't get me wrong - But it's not sunbathing weather.

I've been to Sharm in January and it's lovely and sunny and definitely sunbathing weather. It was sunny from dawn to dusk, didn't rain once. The only downside was that my hotel pool was colder than the sea. I got a great tan whilst I was there and it's a much better environment for the fish so great diving.

When we were in Luxor we were taken to see the water damage on one of the temples and when we asked when it had rained we were told that it was five years ago

Just a quick update, i booked through the post office in the end, as they class Egypt as europe, and i bought a years cover as it was only £2 more expensive than a fortnights.

Thanks for the responses.:T
