Traveling from Egypt to Palestine, Egyptian citizens will find that while a visa is required, the practicalities of entry are uniquely shaped by controls administered by Israeli authorities. Unlike typical international routes with direct flights, accessing destinations like the West Bank generally involves overland travel after arriving in Israel or Jordan, or utilizing the Rafah crossing for Gaza, which itself can entail wait times extending several hours. Details regarding available visa types and associated costs are outlined below, but anticipating the need for patience and careful planning, including navigating different security procedures and the predominant use of the Israeli Shekel, is crucial for a smooth journey across the approximately 450 km from Cairo to Gaza.
