What to pack for Egypt?

A trip to Egypt will take you to a mythical destination that will allow you to discover some of the most amazing wonders of humanity. So that your holiday is not spoilt by anything, it must start with a meticulous preparation of your suitcase.

As for your clothes, you'll need light clothing which will help you to cope with the temperatures which often tend to soar. The thermometer can easily flirt around 40 to 45 degrees. Light clothing does not mean clothing which is too short. Women especially should avoid plunging necklines, bare backs and shorts which reveal their thighs. This doesn't happen in Egypt. In the evening on the Nile, you'll no doubt be happy to protect yourself from the greedy appetite of the mosquitoes. If you plan to dive into your hotel's pool or into the waters of the Red Sea, remember to take your swimsuit. Again ladies, definitely leave overly small bikinis at home, even if you love them.

In your first-aid kit, you should carry medication to help relieve everyday issues. Travellers to Egypt regularly suffer from traveller's diarrhoea. Take something to quickly solve the problem. To dive into the pool of your hotel or in the waters of the Red Sea, remember to take your swimsuit.   Finally, a good sun scream is essential to protect yourself from the sun's rays. Remember that you're in the land of the Ra God, or Sun God. If you prefer measure its power without any protection, take advantage of the space left by your sun cream and slide in a tube of Biafine.

Egypt is a fabulously photogenic country. You could say that it's "photogreat". Take your camera so you can capture fantastic pictures. To explore the Red Sea's wonderful seabed, take a mask and a snorkel, even if you an always hire them out there. Make a photocopy of your passport, always useful in case you lose it. And don't forget your debit card so you can withdraw money.
