<p class="blog-para">Before embarking on your Egyptian escapade, let's get strategic.</p>
<ul>
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Layover Length: </strong>Knowing your layover duration is key. Factor in immigration, customs (particularly for international arrivals), and security checks to calculate your exploration window. Generally, layovers exceeding 8 hours offer comfortable exploration time outside the airport, especially with JODOGO's efficient meet and greet services.</li>
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Visa Considerations: </strong> : Depending on your nationality and layover duration, you may be eligible for a visa-free entry or visa on arrival. Check Ethiopia's visa requirements beforehand to ensure smooth entry. JODOGO can assist you with navigating visa complexities.</li>
