An introduction to Egypt's tourism precautions

Matters needing attention in Egypt tourism:

1. The itinerary will be arranged and adjusted according to the local climate, public security and other factors.

The time difference between Egypt and China is 6 hours (6 hours slow). At present, there are no direct flights from Shanghai to Egypt, and they all have to transfer from another country. The flight time is about 13 hours, and the flight back from Egypt is about 1 1 hour. With two more books, you will have more time to wait for the plane and never get bored.

3. Egyptian customs clearance is slow, so tourists should not worry. The working speed in Egypt is relatively slow, and it takes 1.5 hours to get from the airport to the city. Some scenic spots are closed at 4-5 pm.

4. When you buy something or the locals talk to you, you should pay attention to it. Generally, there will be no robbery, but please don't be deceived. Don't trust tour guides, and it's not impossible for vendors near scenic spots to buy things. As long as you look more, ask more questions and bargain more, you can buy cheap Egyptian souvenirs.

5. You can't take photos when visiting the Egyptian Museum. A separate mummy museum costs an extra fee, about $25. You'd better do your homework when you go to Egypt, otherwise some people can watch it for days and nights, and some people will come out in 40 minutes. Our team time is basically arranged for half a day. If a person is in a group, it can be adjusted as needed.

6. Visit the pyramids. If you need to pay extra to enter the inside of the pyramid, three of them can enter, but the price is different: 25- 15 dollars, but it is not recommended to enter the inside, because it is dark and humid and there is no air.

7. You can watch belly dancing in Cairo and have a buffet on the Nile (the whole food in Egypt is not very good), and the cost is about 50 dollars. From Cairo to Luxor by train, there are two bunk beds and a single room. Hehe, the conditions are not bad. Get on the bus at around 8 pm and arrive at around 6 am the next day. From Luxor to Hong Jiada (Red Sea), it takes about 3 hours by car, and from Hongjia to Cairo, it takes another 5 hours. So it's best to fly to Luxor, which is the smoothest trip, with one less one way, but there are fewer such flights.

8. Red Sea. Speaking of the Red Sea, at first we asked, why is it called the Red Sea? The sea is blue and very clear. The tour guide said that there are two reasons: red coral on the seabed and sand red on the seashore. Really, it's hard and uncomfortable to step on, but the red coral is beautiful, so we must go out to sea, just a few meters to 30 meters deep. You can make a glass boat (about 40 dollars).

9. Alexander can see the Mediterranean, and nothing else is special. Oh, and the Summer Palace and the Imperial Home Forest. Because it is close to the Mediterranean, we can see flowers and plants, which is not good for us, but think about it, it is rare in Egypt and desert areas, and flowers and plants are rarely seen in the scenic spots behind. If possible, I will not go to Alexandria next time. It takes two and a half hours to drive from Cairo to Alexandria and five hours to go back and forth, all in one day. How nice it is to put this day in the red sea! Moreover, in the Red Sea, all meals are in hotels, and the conditions are much better. Others eat in restaurants and eat Chinese food.

10, Egyptian water is precious, really expensive! Generally, it costs 3-5 Egyptian pounds (5 Egyptian pounds 1 USD), which is more expensive. Generally, travel agencies send one bottle a day, and there is one bottle in the hotel room, so tap water can't be drunk. Only South Africa can drink directly in Africa, and nothing else can drink directly. If you like drinking hot water, you have to bring your own water heater.

1 1, adapter, Egypt is the European standard (2 round holes), so be careful when buying. There are no toiletries and slippers in the room, so you need to bring your own. Even if the hotel has towels, unless you dare to use them.

12, and camel riders, please take photos. Be careful. You'd better talk to the tour guide and agree on the price. Don't think it's a good deal to talk about a two-dollar and three-dollar ride. If you don't give 10 yuan or 20 yuan, you won't dare to get off the camel or jump, or he won't return your camera. The memory card of digital camera, the larger the capacity, the better. It is best and convenient to bring more cards.

13. Money: In Egypt, credit cards with the UnionPay logo are invalid. International traveler's checks from China Bank and international cards from all banks are acceptable. These cards must have an organization logo, such as MasterCard, Visa and American Express. Both hotels and shops can use it. Before you leave, be sure to check whether you have saved US dollars for local consumption. If you withdraw US dollars in cash locally, the bank will add three fees, namely: 0%-3% handling fee. In China, you have to change dollars before you can change Egyptian pounds locally.

14, Egyptians like cool oil very much, but it is not convenient to use it to offset the consumption of going to the toilet. They only like to give it away for free, and don't like to receive it as money. Prepare more change for 1 Egyptian pound when you go to the toilet. People who don't keep the toilet often don't give you change. For example, if you give him 20, he only gives you 18 change, and then says there is no change. This often happens in Egypt. Because of the language barrier, many tourists had to forget it and donate it.
