Egypt is sophisticated and very
modern country where almost anything you need
can be found, there are a
Few necessary exceptions - items you will probably
want to bring with you on your trip.Recommended
to bring these Basic Travel Accessories with
you to Egypt;
1- Necessary Health care products; Sun
Block to prevent Sun burn, for medicine most
of what you need isavailable in Egyptian drug
stores, but it may be called by different names.
Topical antiseptic and salva, Vitamin C (Alacer-Emergen-C
for easy travel), blisters, Insect repellent,
skin cream, diarrhea medication, Breath mints,
Aspirin, Hair spray, or even Gum. There is no
problem bringing prescription medication into
Egypt.
2- Sunglasses;recommended good sunglasses
with ultra-high UV rating to let you have a
good vision of the sand & desert, Also Hats
and Other Covering.
3- Canteen or Water Holder dehydrated
is critical, so much better to bring along a
canteen to carry your water on your waist or
shoulder-bag.
4- Camera and accessories we recommend
if you are not using a digital camera bring
all the film and extra batteries that you will
need, Bring along a flash attachment with replaceable
batteries if possible, recommended to bring
with your wide-angle lens for great photos inside
temples, or pyramids. And bring extra memory
cards if you using digital camera. Cameras could
be used at most sites in Egypt without charge.
However, both regular and video cameras can
not be bringing with you inside Egyptian antique
museum or at Valley of the Kings. Also bring
high-speed film. Most people use ASA 800 film,
which they push to 1600. This is because many
monuments require that you do not use a flash
when taking pictures inside.
5- Guiding books;I advise you to read
any of Egypt country guide book before and after
tours to be clearer of what you are going to
see & hear, then to pick it with you during
your tour, suggested good books such as "The
Rough Guide" and "The Lonely Planet.",
which can be found in Egypt.
6- Other essential stuff; Sewing Kits
don't count on find is small hotels, Safety
pins, Extra Bag to bring home souvenirs put
it inside another bag before you leave home,
Get wheels for your luggage, Swimsuit for pools

Toiletries, Earplugs, Wet wipes Hand sanitizer
gel & Tissues as many public toilets lack
paper, Small flashlight, Travel Alarm for you
privet wake-up call, travel alarm will come
in very handy, you can catch a little Nap anywhere,
Small change, maps if you are traveling alone.
7- Cigarettes; available everywhere and
inexpensive, sometimes with limited variety
With difference in taste with the European or

most are noticeably stronger than you are used
to.
