Disabled
travelers’s guide to Egypt
More
importantly, perhaps, you should
bring a companion with you. An escort
is especially important since Cairo's
traffic is chaotic and pavements
are unsuitable for wheelchairs.
Inside hotels and at archeological
sites, however, the extreme friendliness
of Egyptians, who are always willing
to help, usually makes up for the
lack in facilities. Here are some
of the facilities offered by Egypt
for disabled travelers:

Important
information for you
The first thing
you need to know is what facilities
are available at the airports. Things
have improved over the years, and
now both Cairo, Hurghada, Aswan,
Luxor, Alexandria, Marsa Alam and
New Valley airports are equipped with lifts
to carry disabled travelers on and
off the airplanes. Cairo airport
is also equipped with ramps, elevators
and toilets for the disabled. Both
Luxor and Aswan airports are built
on one level making it easy for
wheelchair users to navigate.
You will find Buses especially
equipped for the disabled sevices. Organized trips providing
packages for the disabled, however,
should make special arrangements.
Almost all five-star
hotels have several rooms equipped
for the disabled. Disabled-friendly
rooms generally have wider doors
and a layout that allow wheelchair
maneuverability. Bathrooms should
also be wheelchair-accessible with
support bars (beside the shower
and the toilet) and a roll in shower.
Some of three and
four-star hotels, however, are equipped for the
disabled.
The hotels feature ramps everywhere
and a hard-sand beach that makes
it easy for those in wheelchairs
to access. (Beaches can generally
be accessed with a click-and-go
device: special wheels added to
the wheelchair to make it possible
to use on sand). Some hotels, which
are not specifically equipped for
disabled guests, might still be
a good option.
The entire
boats are disabled-friendly, and all
corners of the boats, including the
sun-deck, the ballrooms and the
restaurants,
are accessible by wheelchair.
The
Egyptian Museum in Cairo is
now furnished with ramps and
elevators, and medical care
for the disabled. The Nubian
Museum has been built according
to the highest standards of
disabled-friendly designs.
The Giza plateau is accessible
by bus from which tourists
can view the Pyramids and
the Sphinx. The citadel, the
papyrus museum and Khan Al-Khalili
are all accessible by wheelchair.
Outside Cairo, most archeological
sites are accessible, although
there is always the possibility
of being confronted with a
situation where assistance
might be needed, such as stairs
or sandy areas. Disabled tourists
can visit the High Dam, the
granite quarries, and the
Abu Simbel and Edfu temples
in Aswan. The Philae Temple,
however, remains unreachable
by wheelchairs. In Luxor,
tourists can similarly enjoy
visits to Al- Karnak Temple,
the Hatshepsut Temple and
the Valley of the Kings. In
the Valley of the Kings, however,
some tombs are not accessible
except by foot, and signs
have been posted to mark them.
