Egyptian Embassy reminds China tourists to pay attention to safety during Ramadan.

With the approach of Ramadan (scheduled to start on May 5th), the Embassy of China in Egypt reminds China tourists to enhance their safety awareness and ensure a safe journey during Ramadan.

1. Egypt will enter a hot and hot season, especially in southern tourist cities such as Aswan and Luxor. The temperature can generally reach 40 degrees Celsius, which is prone to heatstroke symptoms such as dehydration and syncope. China tourists should carefully choose outdoor tourism projects according to their own health conditions, try not to be exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, replenish water in time, and take summer medicine with them.

Second, middle-aged and elderly people come to Egypt to travel. Please make necessary preparations such as physical examination before going, and have a full understanding and mastery of your physical condition. Always take emergency medicine with you when traveling, and try to travel with your family.

3. During Ramadan, local drivers in Egypt fast during the day, which makes them easily tired and depressed. Please try to avoid long-distance travel to go on road trip to avoid traffic accidents. If long-distance driving is really necessary, two drivers should be required to work in shifts, and the speed should not be too fast, and the number of stopovers should be increased.

Fourth, pay attention to respect local customs and religious etiquette. A lady should dress appropriately and not be too exposed. When going out, stick to two or more people and avoid acting alone. Don't have intimate words and deeds with local men to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. In case of sexual harassment or other disputes, please keep the evidence in time and report to the Egyptian police through the travel agency as soon as possible.

5. The sea conditions around Egypt are complex and there are many undercurrents, especially Horgos. China tourists should pay special attention to safety when swimming or diving in the sea, and diving should be accompanied by professionals. Please pay attention to the warning signs before going into the sea, and don't go into the water when the weather is bad or the wind and waves are heavy. Please don't go into the water if the beach safety protection measures are incomplete or there are no lifeguards.

At present, China is still in a state of emergency. In case of emergency, please call the police in time and contact the embassy or consulate.
