What to Pack for Egypt?

If you are contemplating booking one of our Egypt tours from Montreal, you may be curious about what to pack for Egypt. What all to pack really all depends on personal choices and preferences. Nonetheless, there are a few items which we feel are important.

Important items include a comfortable pair of shoes; a wide-brimmed hat to shield one’s face from the sun; sunglasses; a good sunscreen lotion, and some lightweight cotton tops (preferably white). We also recommend packing in at least one pair of trousers and a warm top because the evenings can get quite cool.This is particularly true if you end up booking one of our Egypt and Jordan tours from Canada because the nights can get really cold in Jordan.
