A guide to essential items for traveling to Egypt

1) Suitcases, backpacks and small waist bags. The suitcase can be checked in, and there are tour buses throughout the trip. You can put small backpacks for easy use, such as pickled pepper chicken feet, chewing gum, and hey, it will make you salivate, as if you are in a foreign country and taste the food of a foreign country. The small waist bag is convenient for putting the camera in and out at any time, as well as putting down tickets and stickers and pens at any time, because there is really a lot to record.

2) Photographic equipment. At least it must be wide-angle, and whether you have a card camera or a SLR, you must have enough storage.

3) Sunscreen products. If you don’t want to peel your skin from the sun, bring sunscreen with an SPF of 25 or above, as well as sunglasses and a hat. Girls can also bring gauze scarves. Post a picture to see:

4) Clothes. If you are going to Egypt in winter, you should bring everything from short-sleeved shirts to jackets, which are easy to clean, or even a jacket, which is waterproof and windproof and very warm. It will definitely work when you go to the desert to watch the sunrise! By the way, there are also shoes, which are sandproof and waterproof, and must be very comfortable and not wear out your toes, because the whole trip to Egypt is still a bit tiring.

5) Drugs. For fevers and colds, antidiarrhea, band-aids, and if you use other medicines, be sure to bring them. Of course there are pharmacies in Egypt, but the Arabic is like a bible!

6) Toiletries . The hotel in Egypt, the five-star hotel we stayed in, does not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel and slippers. You have to bring your own. You can also bring your own towels and wet wipes because Egypt is very dusty.

7) Gifts. The most popular ones are cooling oil and water pens. If you are going to the desert, you can bring some chocolates and biscuits.

8) Plug converter. You must bring it. Some customers reported that someone from the travel agency said that the tour guide will bring it or that the hotel has it. Please bring it yourself, because the tour guide will bring one? You can use it yourself. Even if the hotel [hotel] has one, you may not be able to borrow it. Let’s buy it. It's very simple. It costs a few yuan and is a European-style circular double-head socket converter.

9) Food. Bring some pickled mustard, chili sauce, and other snacks. Alas, I forgot to bring them. Then I scooped two spoons of chili sauce from my traveling companion. It was delicious.

There is another mental preparation: tip! Tipping is a part of Egyptian culture, so don’t think that the other party is overearning, but rather a kind of “gift”, for taking photos, waiters on the train, tour guides, etc. In addition, exchange some US dollars (you can exchange some Egyptian pounds at Cairo Airport, and 30 US dollars is enough. If you have some pocket money, you usually give US dollars).
