Can you drive in Egypt with a US license?
US citizens can drive in Egypt with their valid US driver’s license accompanied by an International Driving Permit for short-term visits. The IDP serves as an official translation of your US license and is required by Egyptian authorities and rental car companies. You must carry both documents together while driving, as the IDP alone is not sufficient without your original license.
