Please tell me about Egypt travel. Go to Yunnan in November or December.

Don’t join a group tour in Egypt and Turkey. I have participated in it and it was not good in both countries. Moreover, it was a red-eye flight from Egypt to Turkey. In the early morning, you had to wait at the airport and basically didn’t get any sleep that night. , as tired as a fool. If you want to take an in-depth tour of Egypt, you can go to the Red Sea. The Red Sea is so beautiful, N times better than Hainan Island!

How to exchange RMB for Egyptian pounds cost-effectively: The ratio to RMB is basically about 1:1.4, but US dollars are hard currency in Egypt. Basically all stores accept US dollars, but supermarkets do not accept them. , and the smallest US dollar note is 1 US dollar. It is really not cost-effective to always use US dollars. There is an automatic currency exchange machine at the entrance of the bank in Egypt, which can exchange US dollars for Egyptian pounds. This rate is the most cost-effective and higher than that at the airport. Oh, you can ask the doorman how to use it, and give him a tip of one dollar (Egypt is a tipping kingdom, others will not serve you for no reason, as long as others serve you, please tip, usually 1 dollar is enough)

I personally think that Luxor, Aswan, Cairo, and the Red Sea are must-visits. They are very worth seeing. It is best to visit near Cairo, and then take a night in a tourist train sleeper exclusive for foreigners (via (Buy tickets at a travel agency) It doesn’t look good on the outside, but it’s nice on the inside. We arrived in Luxor, played around, then flew to Aswan, then to the Red Sea, and finally back to Cairo and back home. This will take about 13 days.

What to pay attention to: ethnic taboos.

There are many knickknacks in Egypt. You can buy some of them. Essences and papyrus paintings are very cheap. You must bargain hard. The prices are too high. Don’t go to Cairo’s market. Buy it, the price is very high, it’s just that it’s more famous.

In fact, cash is very easy to use in Egypt. There is no need to use credit cards. After all, high fees are charged. The security there is good because there are many tourist police who specialize in protecting tourists (wearing white police uniforms) That kind), you don’t need too much, you can buy a lot of things with around 10,000. Prices are not high, and it is generally much more expensive for tourists than for locals, but there is no way around it. Be sure to bring cooling oil, the kind that costs 2 or 3 yuan in a small round box. It is very popular and can be used instead of tip. This can save a lot of money. Bring more pens. I don’t know why they always ask me Ask for a pen. A large gauze scarf, sun umbrella, and sunscreen are all necessary. The rest are just the things you usually bring with you when traveling, there’s nothing special to bring!

Don’t bring anything that heats up quickly, and you are not allowed to use it if you bring it. If you do, bring an electric kettle and a power conversion plug, because it is completely different from that in China.

Since you have asked additional questions, let me answer you carefully:

1. Regarding the hotel facilities in Egypt, to be honest, if you join a tour group, They are generally local five-star hotels. This kind of hotel is not an international five-star hotel, so it looks very good. It has a swimming pool, a club, etc., and it is quite large. However, the internal facilities in the room are often only equivalent to domestic four-star hotels. . The biggest difference is the hotel on the Red Sea. The appearance is really romantic, luxurious and beautiful, but inside, apart from the spacious rooms, there is not even a carpet. The tour guide’s explanation is: there is sand on the seaside, and the carpet is difficult to clean

2. Since you are joining a tour group, the tips for the tour guide and driver should be handed over to the tour leader, who will pay for them. The rest of the tips for going to the restroom, porters, etc. must be given by you yourself. It’s only 1 USD a time. Unless people think you are stingy, of course you won’t say anything! It doesn’t matter that 1 US dollar is only over 7 yuan!

3. The local tour guides are quite good. They are all graduates from Chinese universities. They are versatile and most of them can speak several languages. The service attitude is good. Unlike domestic tour guides, if you don’t buy something, you will be embarrassed! It doesn’t matter to people! Tour guides are considered high-income people in the local area!

4. I don’t think the disposable items in the room are good. Generally, I use my own comfort items. These are easy to bring. Some hotels in Egypt have hot water kettles and some don't, so if you are a tea drinker, you might as well bring it yourself. This one is not heavy and easy to carry. I have seen guests carry it on their backs.

5. There are usually parties or programs in the hotel in the evening, and it is free for guests, except for drinks! It’s okay to want to visit the temple at night, but generally you can only visit the temple. The temple is beautifully lit up at night! In fact, there are already a lot of things to do in the hotel at night. If you are in Cairo, it will be troublesome to get out at night. Most of the hotels arranged by travel agencies are in the suburbs, and you have to take a taxi to the city center. And the taxis there like to rip off foreigners, which is a bad habit. Taxis in Egypt can be shared. Don’t think that the one who suddenly gets on the bus is a robber, hahaha!

6. Dates are very sweet. I don’t eat sweets. I only tasted some of the ones bought by customers and couldn’t stand them, so I never bought them again! It's not that good, but it's nice that you can buy it as a gift. It's cheap and novel.

Of course I have to buy the essence, but the smell is too strong. My small bottle will last a long time! well!

7. Don’t ask the tour guide to exchange U.S. dollars. The tour guide is not willing to exchange it with you because it involves exchange rate issues. If she exchanges it for you, the price will be high, and she is afraid that you will complain later. And don’t you want to take the RMB to Egypt to exchange it? That's not possible. Egypt cannot directly circulate RMB. You have to go to a domestic bank to exchange U.S. dollars before going out, otherwise you will be in trouble! No money to use. Credit cards are very expensive!

You can exchange U.S. dollars at the airport as soon as you get off the plane. There is also a very convenient place in Egypt. There is something like an ATM machine in front of the bank. You can put US dollars in and exchange them directly for Egyptian pounds.

8. There is an ATM machine on the Nile River in Luxor. It’s a very fun white sailboat. The tour guide generally won’t recommend you to go there, but if you have a loose schedule that day, you can go there by yourself. It’s very romantic! In fact, the Nile River in Luxor is much more beautiful than that in Cairo

9. Take an 8-day in-depth tour of Egypt! It’s also a little over 10,000. Much better than Etu. You can’t play or see anything you should do in Egypt and Türkiye. So not worth it!
