Sunglasses Are A Must
Probably the most important thing to bring, sunglasses are crucial to enjoying one’s trip in Egypt. Most of the tours will be done in the daytime and the sun is up in Egypt as early as 5 a.m. and as late as 7 p.m. Remember that, so get sunglasses with a little extra juice in them, polarized and/or with UV protection. This is the first thing you should pack because it’s the easiest to forget.
Light-Fabric Clothes
This is a good tip if a person is a light packer and doesn’t want to bring excess clothes. Choose light fabrics for when one needs to wash them, they would easily dry. Plus, it helps a lot in the hot and dry weather. Accidents could happen, stains and such, so bring those breathable clothes. Linen and polyester are good, but the best is a kind of combination of these two and cotton. Rayon is the answer, though it is not a natural fiber, it has the best components of all the other fabrics, specially designed for dry and hot weather. But one can always pack extra if they do not mind the additional weight and hate to wash clothes while on vacation.
Wear The Right Shoes
This is probably more of a reminder than advice. When women pack, they always pack at least two pairs of different shoes. One pair is more formal and elegant, and the other pair is more comfortable and outdoorsy. With every other piece of clothing that we have to be conscious about while enjoying Egypt, we could mix up the shoes we are wearing for the activity we are going to do. Remember to use those comfortable shoes when taking a tour of the Pyramids, as getting there may be via a 5-minute walk, which is what most tourists do. Then, don’t forget to have a nice dinner in a classy restaurant wearing sophisticated high-heeled shoes.
Water Bottle
- Hydration is the key to maximizing your fun times in Egypt. If one has a favorite water bottle or a cute container, by all means, bring it on the trip. The temperature in Cairo and at the Pyramids is reason enough to make sure one has some form of hydration on our person.
- We can buy those drinks filled with electrolytes, but water is still the best and easy to acquire in all kinds of places. Be sure to drink bottled water instead of the drinking water available in the hotel restaurant or lobbies, tap water, house water, or any kind of water that is not sealed in a bottle.
Sunblock Will Help A Lot
Just like sunglasses, sunblock is an important item one needs to bring on a trip to
Egypt. And just like sunglasses, it could be really expensive if it is purchased in Cairo. It doesn’t much matter what kind an adult uses, whether picking a sun cream, sunscreen, sunblock, or suntan lotion, they are all good. Remember to reapply during the day.
Electronics
- These days, people need their electronics wherever they go. They even need them most when going on a vacation. Whether it’s a laptop, a tablet, or a Smartphone, we need it for connectivity and selfies. If it’s other electronic devices, like an amateur or professional-grade camera, one needs to learn a few things about electronics use in Egypt.
- The country mainly uses 220 voltage sockets and you will also find strange looking sockets even in your hotel room. They are the round prongs instead of the flat rectangular ones we are used to. Go to an electronics store and ask about voltage adapters for travel overseas.
Medication
It is important to include a medical kit and hygienic items on your packing list, a few basic hygiene items like Antibacterial hand gel, tissues for public restrooms oral care items, scissors, and tweezers also don’t forget to tack with you bandages, antibacterial ointment, ibuprofen, Advil, aspirin, Dramamine, antidiarrhea drugs, re-hydration salts, and sure your Sunscreen.
Important Travel Documents
- If we are traveling in a foreign country, we always make sure we have our camera, some money, and a map for when we go out and explore. Sometimes the most important things we tend to leave behind in the safety of our hotel rooms because we don’t want them getting lost or destroyed while we enjoy ourselves outside.
- You should always have copies (pics on your phone) of your passport, visa, travel insurance, credit card information, international student card its make 50% discount on most of the sightseeing and your guide or hotel information card
- It’s crucial that we have our identification, especially if we are on foreign soil, so there is a simple solution. Important papers that police and other establishments might require of us, we should make copies of and bring them with us wherever we go, problem solved.
A Backpack Will Be Useful
A nice comfortable travel bag is a good companion when travelling alone. Usually, we like sling bags, but cross-strap ones or cross body bags could accentuate one’s chest and that’s not a good image for our friendly locals. Put on and cover it with a matching scarf, or use a nice, cute-looking backpack. Easy to wear, and gives one complete freedom of both arms, Now we’ve got a fashionable bag to put our documents, sunblock, SLR camera, and water bottle in.
Hand Sanitizers
Always have a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you, be sure to whip it out and pour it or Wash your hands every chance you get, before eating and before settling in your hotel room. Better safe than sorry.
