Essential items include a good quality sunscreen lotion; sunglasses; a wide-brimmed hat; a few lightweight cotton tops, and a pair of comfortable shoes. We also recommend packing in at least one pair of trousers and a warm top because depending on where about in the country you are, Egypt can be quite cool in the evenings.

Yes, Egypt is a very safe destination for tourists. However, it is always a good idea to stay alert and aware of your surroundings, particularly in very busy touristy areas. We also recommend that female travelers and those traveling alone should try to avoid being out on foot in very quiet and/or poorly lit areas at night.
