Hi Guys!!! I need some information if anyone could help please let me know. I would really appreciate it.

My friend is travelling from Japan to Egypt.

Does Qatar airways allow her to bring 2pieces baggage, of 20kg each?

She got American passport.

Can she obtain Visa on arrival in egypt?

What to expect in egypt?
Any suggestion what can she bring (gift) for the family?.
Do you think its offensive for them to give something?

Thanks a lot.

Thank You ALL:

Thanks khaled-alfarouk!!

Do they allow her to check-in 2 luggage with 30kgs each? Or just one check-in with 30kgs only?

Do they only accept credit or cash also?.

Gifts are never offensive..

Just get what you would get your friends and family.. whether it's clothes or shoes.. don't go sentimental and get something of no use.

My friend is Egyptian, and he likes gifts.

What to expect.. a lot…

Hide your money and hold your luggage tight .. most of Egyptian are nice … but when my brother visited they but his bag on the top of the taxi and by the time he got to the hotel… it was gone!!

There is a lot to see in egypt and lots of nice people… but avoid tipping and being over friendly … since those who are into that… never get enough..

In the area's where tourist are ..people are sort of greedy!!

I once asked a guy to take us a picture with my camera… after he was done he asked for money!!!

Again most people are nice… but there are those that ruin it for every one.

For first part of your question u can call the air line to get the required data I think maximum wieght per person is 30 KGs

On other hand Egypt is amazing country she will enjoy it too much

For the gifts its depend on which place she will visit if she will visit Cairo or upper Egypt the most valuable and cheaper gifts are the pharaohs ite
