Planning an Accessible Wheelchair Friendly Tour in Egypt

Traveling around Egypt in a wheelchair can be an exciting adventure, but it needs some planning and preparation. With a good plan in hand, one can enjoy the far flung beauties of the countries. Travel with mobility requirements to enjoy Egypt, a rich history, and cultural treasures-from the iconic Pyramids of Giza to the splendid temples of Luxor and Aswan. This guide furnishes a few practical details for planning an inclusive trip, like choosing wheelchair-friendly destinations, arranging wheelchair-compatible accommodation and transport, and ensuring that major attractions are likewise accessible. With a few preparation, the tour to Egypt's ancient wonders may yet come up for anyone willing to visit its historic landmarks.

Wheelchair Friendly Destinations 

Some parts of Egypt are not fully accessible to the wheelchair, but many important tourism centers have considerably improved. Some of the best wheelchair-accessible places include:

Cairo: The government provides accessible public transport, and many hotels also offer rooms that are friendly for wheelchairs, making Cairo the perfect entry point. The Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza provide wheelchair access to their major areas through ramps and elevators, which facilitates movement for persons in wheelchairs.
Luxor: The city is famous for ancient temples and tombs. Considered a little tricky, a few of these historic sites do not favor disabled visitors. However, all popular spots like Karnak Temple have been fitted with ramps and flat paths suitable for wheelchairs.
Aswan: The Philae Temple is located in Aswan, and the city has been attempting to make the city more accessible. The boats to the temple island welcome wheelchair users, whereas ramps at the temple enable visitors with mobility impairment to enjoy the site. 

Take Necessary Health Items

Choose to take any particular wheelchair or mobility equipment with you as part of your travel essentials! Most airlines would indeed allow wheelchair users to travel, but it is important to provide advance notice. Consider carrying a lightweight or folding wheelchair to ease transportation on public buses or between locations. 

Amazing Wheelchair Adventures on the Nile in Luxor and Aswan 

A wheelchair user trip down the Nile between Luxor and Aswan would be a world-class experience for every traveler. It affords tourists the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of Egypt with comfort and ease. The endless river panoramic views and historical sites of both towns are swept in the magic of their half-truths about history and well-planned avenues to make them accessible to all.
Luxor: The World's Open-Air Museum Luxor has some of Egypt's most magnificent ancient monuments, including the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and the Luxor Temple. Of late, many such spots have become easily wheelchair-accessible from newly constructed ramps and pathways through the historic grounds. Accessible Nile cruises come out of Luxor with ramped riverbank paths so that visitors can sightsee on the treasures of history in utter elegance of a luxury launch.
Aswan: Home of Ancient Wonders Aswan is home to several notable sites, including the Philae Temple, which is accessible by boat followed by ramps and paved pathways up to the temple. You can take a wonderful boat ride to cruise around Elephantine Island, or witness the glorious temples of Abu Simbel.
