Can I drink hot water when traveling to Egypt?

You can drink hot water when traveling to Egypt.

If possible, most hotels don't mention the heating kettle and the complete six small toiletries. Guests are advised to bring their own. It is more convenient to bring your own, because the local taste may not be suitable for China people, and the electric kettle can cook instant noodles.

1. The climate in Egypt is characterized by poor timeliness.

There are two distinct seasons in Egypt. May-10 is summer every year. 165438+ October-April is winter. The overall temperature is high, and there is no extremely cold weather such as snowfall. However, the summer heat in Egypt is not the same as that in Shanghai, which belongs to dry heat. The actual feeling is that the temperature is not shown. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun are very strong, you must do a good job of sun protection, otherwise it will definitely be dark when you come back.

Egypt is an Arab country. Most people believe in Islam and a few believe in Christianity. I hope you can respect local religious customs, such as: try not to bring pork products to Egypt, and shake hands with your right hand as much as possible.

Muslims pray five times a day. The first time is in the early morning. Hotels near mosques may hear the voices of Muslims calling for prayers.

You may need to wear a robe to enter the mosque.

Every Friday and Saturday is a rest day. Some shops and banks can't wait to open on Friday.

1 1.

1. During the journey, please remember the assembly time and place during the journey, and please strictly abide by it and stay behind.

2. There are shuttle buses, boats and horseback riding in many scenic spots in Egypt, which are included in the tour time.

Egypt is a country that collects tips everywhere, and this tip is not included in the fixed tip for tour guides and drivers disclosed in the "important terms". Please pay attention to change some dollars or Egyptian pounds for going to the toilet, carrying luggage in the hotel, cleaning the room, etc. It is suggested to give 1 USD or about 5 Egyptian pounds at a time. Tips for trains, carriages and cruise ships have been included in the tips paid by tour leaders. The traffic in downtown Cairo is very poor, and there have been traffic jams. Other intercity roads are simple asphalt roads or sandy roads. There are no traffic lights in Egypt, so you need to pay special attention to crossing the road by yourself.

5. If it is a cruise on the Nile, the cruise is a package and the cruise company operates independently. Therefore, the arranged tour itinerary and sailing time are decided by the cruise company, which may be different from the itinerary disclosure, but the scenic spots will not be reduced.

6. If the guest has international student identity card and checked it when ordering products, please be sure to take it with you during the trip and inform the tour leader. Before returning to China, the tour guide will refund the preferential fees for scenic spots tickets to the guests in one lump sum. Only some scenic spots have discounts, and the specific amount is subject to the actual situation.

If adjustment is needed, the tour guide and tour leader will consult with you as soon as possible. I hope you can understand.

12. Egyptian tourist hotels

1. About hotels: Egyptian five-star hotels cannot be equated with five-star hotels of the same level in China or Japan. The overall level of Egyptian hotels is poor, and the renovation time is long. At most, it is a four-star level in China. Our company divided the hotels according to the actual situation. Comfortable group hotels are equivalent to three or four stars in China, while luxury group hotels are equivalent to four or five stars in China.

2. The hotels used for group travel are all standard hotel rooms (including cruise ships), and the floors and landscapes are uncertain. In the case of insufficient hotel rooms, some rooms may be upgraded at the hotel's expense, which belongs to the hotel's independent behavior. Please don't compare the standard room with the upgraded hotel room.

Most hotels don't mention the kettle, and six small toiletries are complete. Guests are advised to bring their own.

4. Most hotels provide a toll network, so you need to consult the hotel front desk about the charges.

Please check the facilities in the room by yourself after the room is divided. If the toilet is blocked, the light is broken and the bedding is not clean, please tell the team leader in time and we will coordinate to solve it for you.

6. If the Egyptian overnight sleeper train is included in the itinerary, it is already the highest level of local trains, but it is not as good as domestic soft sleeper cars. There is a detailed description of the night sleeper train on the extranet. Please check the details below. Sleeper, two people in a box, with a washstand in the box.

13. Egyptian China food and drink

1. The itinerary is generally arranged by combining Chinese food, local cuisine and hotel western food. It may be difficult for local food to suit China people's appetite. You can consider bringing some mustard tuber and instant noodles to adjust your taste.

2. Both Cairo and Luxor have Chinese food arrangements, but Chinese food is somewhat similar to domestic halal restaurants, and its taste is not as good as that of domestic restaurants, and the variety of vegetables is not as complete as domestic ones. During the Golden Week, because there are many diners in China and few domestic chefs, the serving speed will be slower.

According to international practice, the meals included in the itinerary do not include drinks. If the guests want drinks or drinks, please pay for them yourself.

4. Special attention: guests are advised not to eat more raw food and not to drink raw water. Mainly drink mineral water.

14. Consumption, shopping and tax refund in Egypt

1. The most distinctive shopping arrangement in Egypt: the famous essence and papyrus. The goods in shopping stores will be more expensive than those in markets or stalls, but the quality and after-sales service are guaranteed, so they cannot be completely compared. Guests are free to choose whether to buy in the store or in the market. Shopping stores can swipe their cards. Generally speaking, unless there are quality problems, it is difficult for shopping stores to return goods.

2. Egyptian markets: such as Luxor market and Khan khalili market, shopping is usually very expensive, so you must bargain repeatedly.

3. Recommended purchases: papyrus paintings, essences, dates, (Luoshen) scented tea, spices and ornaments.

15. Egyptian entertainment

1. Various special self-funded items will be provided during the trip:

Acousto-optic Show: Acousto-optic Show of Pyramid, Acousto-optic Show of Karnak Temple and Acousto-optic Show of Philae Temple.

Belly dance performance: night tour of the Nile (Nile cruise, including dinner and song and dance performances)

Hot air balloon: Luxor hot air balloon

Sailing in the Red Sea: yacht snorkeling, Sinbad submarine, and Sharm el-Sheikh snorkeling in Cape Mohammed National Park.

Desert activities: four-wheel drive jeep washing sand, four-wheel drive motorcycle washing sand.

2. When participating in self-funded projects, you must pay attention to safety, do what you can and choose what you like.

3. If the guests book other activities in the local area, they must ask the price in advance, and it is best to ask the tour guide to confirm. Avoid the unpleasant phenomenon that camels are valuable and camels are valuable.

16. Travel safety in Egypt

In addition to enjoying exotic customs and relaxing, the most important thing to travel abroad is travel safety. As a final note, I must emphasize with you:

1. At present, Egypt's tourism industry is gradually recovering, and tourists from various countries are increasing. However, when traveling in the local area, please be sure to follow the arrangement of tour guides and tour leaders.

Please take care of your valuables. You can use the hotel safe, but I suggest you take it with you as much as possible, and don't put valuables on the tour bus.

Try to avoid exposing valuables and a lot of cash in public. When you go to the street, you should always take care of your belongings such as jewelry and cameras.

Don't leave the hotel alone, especially at night. If you go shopping at night, it is best to go with more than three people. Please take your business card with you when you leave the hotel (you can get it at the front desk) in case you get lost.

5. For group travel, guests can't leave the group or leave the group without authorization. If you want to apply for a free tour, please inform the tour guide and tour leader in advance. After the tour guide and tour leader judge that it is ok, please sign the letter of responsibility for leaving the group.

6. Health and medicine: You may feel uncomfortable when you are away from home, so you should prepare some commonly used medicines for emergencies. If you need to take certain drugs for a long time, such as hypertension, heart disease, stomach trouble or diabetes, be sure to bring enough drugs and doctors' prescriptions just in case. Patients with hypertension and heart disease should prepare medicines in advance and inform the team leader of emergency measures.

7. There are many types of scenic spots in Egypt, including mountain climbing and water playing. Please wear appropriate clothes and shoes according to your itinerary, and pay attention to safety during activities.

17. Special instructions from Egypt

Finally, with a tolerant, relaxed and happy mind, please embark on a journey of exploring 7,000 years of splendid ancient civilization and leave a good memory for your life!
