First, the precautions for traveling to Egypt

Weather:

February should be the best tourist season in Egypt. Generally speaking, from October of that year to April of next year is the best tourist season in Egypt. In other months, the weather is hot and it is not suitable for outdoor activities. God in Egypt put the hottest season in July and August. At that time, the highest temperature should be above 45℃, and you can fry eggs by putting a frying pan on the road.

The rainy season in Cairo will start at the end of November and last until March of next year. Generally speaking, there is little rain here, especially in summer, and there is basically no rain. Around Cairo, except for the banks of the Nile, it basically belongs to the desert zone. The ground near the pyramids is almost completely covered with sand, and sneakers are the best to use here.

Time difference: Egypt is 6 hours later than China. (Summer time: 5 hours)

Environment:

The main indoor pollutants are automobile exhaust and dust particles, which are about Grade 3 according to mainland standards.

Population:

Cairo has 14 million local residents and about 2 million floating population; Alexander has 5 million residents and 1 million floating population; Port Said has 3, permanent residents. Other big cities include Ismailia, Manzura and Suez.

Transportation:

The traffic in Cairo is crowded. The general means of transportation are cars, buses, minibuses, taxis, underground railways and trams. A few people ride motorcycles and bicycles, and some farmers go to the city to catch carriages and donkeys. Cairo is a city where modern culture and rural culture are combined. Although there is a gap between the rich and the poor, we are all Muslim brothers. There are about 2 million vehicles moving in the city every day. Drivers in Egypt are very disobedient to traffic rules, so it is most important to pay attention to traffic safety!

products:

Egypt is an agricultural country, which is mainly rich in famous long-staple cotton, rice, corn, potatoes and tomatoes. The fruits are famous for watermelon, strawberry, mango, grapes, bananas, oranges and dates. Other crops such as olives and lemons are also famous. The price of fruit is not very expensive, for example, local bananas can be bought for one kilogram for only RMB 4. Other fruits: local apples 4-8 Egyptian pounds/kg, oranges 1 Egyptian pounds/kg, watermelons 3 Egyptian pounds/kg, oranges 1-2 Egyptian pounds/kg. The mineral water in Egypt is relatively pure, the main brands are BARAKA and SAFI, and a large bottle is 1.25-1.5 Egyptian pounds.

amorous feelings:

In addition to the famous pyramids, the Nile and the Sphinx, the unique Arabian customs here are also unique, and buses with open doors can be seen rampaging on the street; The young man has a door panel on his head with a pie on it, and the road rider riding a bicycle with one hand is even more amazing; Only in the Arab world can you see the scenery when smoking big cigarettes in cafes, and the cigarette holder like a nose makes all the troubles Hwa-Sung Do smoke ...

Egypt's political situation:

Since Mubarak came to power in 1981, the Egyptian government has only changed the prime minister, and the president has always been Mubarak.

Note: The President of Egypt is Mohammed Hosni Mubarak, who was in office from 1981 to 1999 to 25.

premier: Atef? Abed (67 years old) took office on October and May, 1999.

2. Precautions for traveling

★ The public security in Egypt is relatively good, and the streets are full of police and armed with bullets, but don't worry that terrorists

will land on your head. The crime rate here is much better than that in China, but it is still better to take valuables with you in hotels and crowded places, and be sure to take care of your belongings when traveling abroad, because Arabs here have such a creed: If no one answers, what is found will become a reward from God. Of course, sometimes the procedure of "calling three times" will be automatically exempted.

★ Special reminder: Important items such as passports and dollars must be taken care of.

★ Egypt's trade and currency exchange are all claimed to be free. In official banks, the exchange rate of US dollars is US$ 1 =4.55 Egyptian pounds, and in private exchange houses, it is usually US$ 1 = 4.63 Egyptian pounds. Sometimes, RMB can be directly exchanged into Egyptian pounds in private banks, but the opportunity is not always there.

★ "Enthusiasm" is exaggerated by the people in Egypt. On the street, hospitable Arabs will greet you from time to time, even shake hands with you without distinguishing between red and white. If you get used to it, you will get over it, but some people want some small money. At this time, you must be careful.

★ There are abundant foods in Egypt, but most of them are sweets and meat products that China people can't get used to. Even orientals who have lived in Egypt for many years can't adapt to the local tastes, and the sanitary habits in Egypt are terrible (similar to those in China in the 196s). Chinese tourists are generally afraid to talk easily. People who come here usually take some pickled mustard tuber, tea, etc. to prevent acclimatization and unaccustomed diet, and it is best to bring some standing medicines.

★ Souvenir: Egyptian copper plates and papyrus paintings are must-have items for China people, and Egyptian long-staple cotton shirts are also good gifts. People who like Egyptian food can buy some home silk sauce, Sudan red, spices and so on. The crystal products here claim to be the second in the world, and the lead content of the crystal reaches 3%, which is of high quality. It has its exclusive agents in Hong Kong and other parts of the world, of course, the price there is many times more expensive than here. Egyptian crystal products have recently been developed by China people into new tourist products.

★ People who like to take pictures should never forget to bring enough film, wide-angle lenses and tripods, and photographers should not forget chargers and video tapes.
