Please give me some things to note when traveling to Egypt.

Travel Notes★ The social security in Egypt is relatively good. There are many military police on the streets with guns and live ammunition. But don’t worry about terrorists landing on you. The crime rate here is simply lower than that in China. It's much better, but you still have to carry valuables with you in hotels and crowded places. When traveling, be sure to take care of your belongings, because the Arabs here have this belief: whoever picks up something, as long as Yell three times "Whose is this?" If no one answers, the thing picked up will become a reward from God. Of course, sometimes the procedure of "yelling three times" will be automatically waived. ★ Special reminder: Passports, US dollars and other important items must be taken care of. ★ Egypt's trade and currency exchange are known to be free. In official banks, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar is 1 U.S. dollar = 4.55 Egyptian pounds. In private exchange offices, it is usually 1 U.S. dollar = 4.63 Egyptian pounds. Sometimes it is used RMB can also be directly exchanged for Egyptian pounds at private banks, but the opportunity is not always available. ★"Passion" is over-exaggerated by the people in Egypt. On the street, hospitable Arabs will greet you from time to time, and even shake hands with you without knowing the difference. Once you get used to it, you will naturally get over it. But there are also people who are purposeful. You want some small money, so you have to be careful at this time. ★ Egypt’s food is relatively rich, but most of the food is sweets and meat products that Chinese people are difficult to get used to. Even Easterners who have lived in Egypt for many years find it difficult to adapt to local tastes. In addition, Egypt’s hygiene habits are terrible ( Similar to China’s level in the 1960s). Chinese tourists generally don’t dare to speak easily. People who come here usually bring some mustard, tea, etc. to prevent acclimatization and eating habits. It is best to bring some standing medicines. ★ Souvenirs: Egyptian copper plates and papyrus paintings are must-buy items for Chinese people. Egyptian long-staple cotton shirts are also good gifts. People who like Egyptian food can buy some Homs sauce, Sudan red, spices, etc. The crystal products here are said to be the second in the world. The lead content of the crystals reaches 30%. The quality is high. They have exclusive agents in Hong Kong and other parts of the world. Of course, the prices there are many times more expensive than here. Egyptian crystal products have recently been developed by the Chinese into new tourist products. ★ Those who like taking photos must not forget to bring enough film, wide-angle lens and tripod. Photographers should not forget chargers, photography video tapes, etc. 3. Things to note in the hotel 1. The rooms are generally double rooms with a small bar inside.
