Located on one of the most important migratory routes, Egypt offers outstanding waterfowl hunting opportunities. Read more...

Recreational hunting in Egypt presents a unique blend of cultural history and diverse ecosystems, though it's considerably more limited and regulated compared to more popular African hunting destinations such as Namibia or South Africa. Egypt is located between the Mediterranean Sea in the north and the Red Sea in the east, and the Nile River Valley is a unique passage through the Sahara Desert. With this location, Egypt is a significant flyway for migratory birds, making it an attractive destination for hunting waterfowl and other migratory bird species, especially during the migration seasons in the fall and spring. The Nile Delta, Lake Nasser, and certain coastal areas along the Mediterranean are popular for hunting ducks and geese. In addition to waterfowl, Egypt's desert areas are home to species such as sandgrouse and quail, and doves are also abundant. Egypt has strict regulations governing hunting, aimed at conserving wildlife populations and their habitats. Hunters must obtain the necessary permits and adhere to the regulations set by the Egyptian Wildlife Service and other relevant authorities. Hunting outfitters arrange all necessary paperwork for their clients. Hunting in Egypt often forms part of broader eco-tourism and cultural tourism experiences, allowing hunters to also explore Egypt's rich historical and cultural heritage, including its ancient monuments, temples, and museums. Some tourists may also want to explore Egypt’s magnificent Red Sea beach resorts, and if you like fishing, you can’t miss an opportunity to cast your line in one of Egypt’s seas as well (learn more about fishing in the Red Sea).
