Do I need to bring my own electric kettle when traveling with a group to Egypt? There is also the socket problem.

If you can, 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.

Climatic characteristics and time difference in Egypt

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 time is 6 hours later than Beijing time. If Beijing time is noon 12: 00, the local time in Egypt is 6: 00 a.m.

3. The official language and cultural characteristics of Egypt

The official language is Arabic, and English is widely used in tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants.
