I am a student majoring in tourism. I want to go to Egypt for a self-help tour. What preparations do I need to make? Go alone, not with the group.

Passport (if you have a new passport, please bring your old passport), ID card, ID card copy, and 2 2-inch photos (it is convenient to reissue the ID card if it is lost). Visitors under 16 who do not have an ID card need to bring their household registration book if they want to transfer in China.

Traveling in summer, it is enough to bring cool summer clothes. There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the local area, so you'd better take a thin coat. The temperature is suitable in autumn and winter, so please bring clothes with the right thickness when you travel.

Don't wear slippers, shorts, skirts, sleeveless tops and other inappropriate clothes when entering formal occasions. Please carry them carefully.

When you go to the seaside, please bring your bathing suit, swimming cap, goggles, swimming ring, shoes that can fetch water, etc. As you wish.

Shoes should be light and fit, suitable for walking, and new shoes or high heels should not be worn.

Personal daily necessities

Razor, skin care products, cosmetics, sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, umbrella, watch, pen and notebook, please bring them as needed. If you are used to drinking hot water, please bring your own electric cup.

Egyptian hotels do not provide disposable towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Please bring it yourself. Some hotels are near the Nile and there are many mosquitoes. It is recommended to bring mosquito repellent water.

Cash and bank cards

There is no RMB in circulation in Egypt, so it is necessary to convert RMB into US dollars before going abroad, and then convert it into Egyptian pounds locally or use it directly. For the exchange method, please call the customer service telephone of major banks for consultation. Please exchange as soon as possible.

China Customs stipulates that each person can carry at most RMB 20,000 or the equivalent of US$ 5,000 in foreign currency, so the currency exchanged is enough.

When shopping in Egypt, UnionPay cards, MasterCard and VISA cards can all be used in large stores. I suggest you deposit your money in the card. The situation is different for different banks and cards. Please consult the issuing bank about how to use the bank card in Egypt.

Drugs and chemical reagents

Please take regular medicine, such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, painkiller and band-aid, wind oil, carsickness medicine, etc.

If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Be sure to bring enough spare medicine with you according to your own situation.

China Customs Entry-Exit and Airport Security Regulations

According to customs regulations, each person can carry up to 20,000 yuan or the equivalent of 5,000 US dollars in foreign currency. You need to declare the excess to the customs in writing. Please try not to exceed the regulations, and you may face taxation, fines or confiscation.

Carrying cameras, video cameras, lenses and other valuables with a unit price of more than 5,000 yuan, you need to declare to the customs before checking your luggage.
