Things to note when traveling to Egypt

1. Safety issues

For tourists, Egypt is relatively safe now and the public security is relatively good. In local big cities, the police wear black uniforms in winter and white uniforms in summer. Most of them only speak Arabic. There are also special police officers who wear the same uniforms but wear red armbands with the name "Tourist Police" on them.

2. Tourism season

The local area is Mediterranean and has only two seasons: summer and autumn. Summer is from May to October, and autumn is from November to April. The sun is scorching hot in summer, but there are fewer tourists and the cost is relatively low. In autumn, the temperature is comfortable, neither cold nor scorching. It is the peak season for tourism in Egypt. There are many tourists in scenic spots and prices will rise.

3. Time difference problem:

Egypt spans two continents, Asia and Africa, but most of it is located in Africa. There is a significant time difference between Egypt and Egypt, and it is divided into daylight saving time. And winter time, summer time is from April to October, 5 hours behind Beijing time; winter time is from November to March of the following year, and the time is 6 hours behind Beijing time.

Hagging is popular in Egypt. Shops and vendors selling handicrafts often charge exorbitant prices to foreign customers, and the bargaining range can be relatively large; however, state-owned stores and supermarkets clearly mark prices, leaving no room for bargaining. Generally, private stores can bargain appropriately.
