About Maqsad and our services
What does Maqsad Tourism offer?
Flight tickets, hotel bookings, domestic and international holidays, visa file preparation, airport transfers and US DV Lottery entries. Each service has its own page with the details.
Why are some services unavailable right now?
Our team is currently focused on US DV-2027 lottery entries until registration closes. After that, requests for our other services will open on each service page. Follow us to hear first.
How do I reach you?
WhatsApp is the fastest way. You can also email us or use the contact form, and we reply within one business day.
How do I pay?
For now by InstaPay or Vodafone Cash. The details appear on your order page, and you send us the transfer receipt on WhatsApp.
Is my data safe with you?
Yes. We use your data only for the service you requested, keep as little as possible, and never share it for marketing.
US DV Lottery
Is entering the US DV Lottery free?
The official registration has a $1 fee paid to the U.S. Department of State when you enter, and you can enter yourself on the official site dvprogram.state.gov. We charge only for our service: review, preparation, submission and payment. You know the price before we start.
Do you guarantee I will win?
No, and nobody can: winners are chosen by a random draw run by the U.S. Department of State. Our role is to make sure your photo meets the announced specifications and that your entry is submitted 100% correctly. A correct entry keeps your case on track if you are selected and protects you from rejection after the initial random selection because of a data error.
Who can enter?
You must be a native of an eligible country (Egypt is usually eligible; we confirm this when the official instructions are published) and have a high school education or its equivalent, or two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation that requires at least two years of training.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. The rules adopted in March 2026 require a valid passport, and a scan of the passport data page must be uploaded with the entry.
What if I am married or have children?
You must list your spouse and all your unmarried children under 21, even if they will not travel with you. Leaving out any family member is a reason for disqualification, and each of them needs a photo with the same specifications.
Can I enter more than once to improve my chances?
No. Only one entry per person is allowed, and more than one entry disqualifies you. But if you and your spouse are both eligible, each of you can submit a separate entry and list the other.
How will I know the result?
After entering you receive a confirmation number; it is given to you and you keep it. Results are checked only on the official site using that number. The U.S. Department of State does not send emails or messages to winners, so be careful with any message telling you that you won.
How do I order with you?
Press “Start your order”, enter your name and mobile, and you get a private link where you type your details exactly as in your passport and upload your and your family's photos. Our team reviews everything and tells you if anything needs fixing. After submission, the confirmation number is sent to you on WhatsApp and shown on the same link.
If I type my details and upload photos anyway, why not enter myself?
You can, of course. But with us you do not have to type anything: just upload the passports and we take the details from them exactly as printed (typing them too is a double check). We also check your and your family's photos against the specs, review every letter, pay the $1 fee if your card cannot, submit, and send you the confirmation number — taking off your hands the mistakes that can disqualify you after selection.
How much does it cost?
Single EGP 450, family (spouse and/or children) EGP 620, and two entries for a married couple (one in each spouse's name, doubling the chance) EGP 1100, all including the official $1 fee. The optional result check is EGP 100, or EGP 150 for two entries.
Can my wife and I submit two entries?
Yes — it is the best way to double your chance: each of you submits an entry as principal and lists the other and the children. If either entry is selected, the whole family can immigrate. Both of you need at least a high school education and a valid passport. Two entries cost EGP 1100 instead of EGP 620 each.
What is the result check service?
An optional service: once the U.S. Department of State opens the results check, our team checks your result with your confirmation number on the official site and sends it to you on WhatsApp. We are not an official body; the official result is always the one on dvprogram.state.gov, and you can check it yourself at any time.
Are my details and photos safe with you?
Yes. Details and files uploaded in the order form are stored encrypted, only our review team can see them, and they are used only for your entry. Your order link is private — do not share it.
Is my photo uploaded to your site in the photo checker?
No. The checker runs inside your browser on your device and your photo never leaves it. When you close the page, the photo is gone.
What are the most common disqualifying mistakes?
A photo with the wrong size or file weight, glasses in the photo, a background that is not white or has shadows, reusing last year's photo, submitting more than one entry, and forgetting to list a family member.
Note: the DV lottery answers are based on the published instructions and the latest announced rules, and we update them as soon as the U.S. Department of State publishes the DV-2027 instructions. The final reference is always travel.state.gov.
