If you go on an excursion, then take comfortable shoes, in general, you don’t need jeans, if you have a travel iron, take them in the rooms. Medicines (from poisoning, temperature, diarrhea, gastrointestinal tract, burns). (in bags) they have terrible coffee with them.

I completely agree with the previous answer, you can also add to the above that not all hotels have shampoo, gel, etc. in the bathroom, so it’s better to take it with you

Hello) Since I recently returned from Egypt, I would recommend taking two types of sunscreen - with a high and medium degree of protection, since now the sun is sooo "prickly" there. And as for irons, coffee, tea, gels, shampoos, it all depends on the star rating of the hotel (we had all of the above in our room, and the iron could be ordered for free). Another such nuance, they took hair foam and shaving gel with them, they carried it in their luggage, so upon arrival they saw that the contents of the bottles had moved into the bag. The vials were completely empty. They were shocked. People say that this is due to a change in pressure, but then it is not clear why such an incident did not happen to everyone who was carrying similar funds.

Minimum things. It makes no sense to carry jeans with you. If you go on excursions, then of course it should be comfortable shoes (sneakers or sandals) to fix your leg, and at the same time you will not be hot. And of the things, give preference to T-shirts, shorts, tunics and sarafans, and be sure to wear a hat)) Take body and hair care products, because everything costs crazy money there. I took a small shampoo (I didn’t take into account that I wash my hair every day, and sometimes 2 times) and there I bought more, Pantin for $ 15 (Be sure to take medications (I agree with the above) and be sure to protect yourself from the sun. Take SPF30 and 15. irons, hair dryers, etc., are in the hotel, regardless of the number of stars. If you have any questions, please contact)) I wish you a pleasant stay, and positive emotions))

it makes no sense to take closed shoes, take the bare minimum of clothing. Gym trainers, T-shirts, shorts, sandals. Take shampoo, shower gel, soap, because not all hotels have them. Medicines for disorders and sunscreen.

and don't forget your sunglasses! :))
for excursions, take a light blouse or T-shirt with LONG sleeves. To ride ATVs, be sure to take windbreakers and fasten all the buttons and snakes - you will come all in the dust, which will have to send home.
And for long trips, for example, to the pyramids (in Giza), take with you socks on the bus, a jacket (very cold from the air conditioners, still go all night) and a pillow from the hotel (allowed) - to sleep comfortably in the bus seat. Happy holidays!

Be sure to have a sunscreen and some kind of burn cream (it's all very expensive there). If you go to the city or on city tours (for women), clothes that cover your shoulders and knee-deep (to avoid some problems with the local population), and also a pareo (it will come in handy on the beach, and you can put it on in the city. Be sure to Mezim from the first aid kit (there is all sorts of food there, many stomachs hurt, besides, there are no soups, and some nasty broths.) And also remember that there are only dollars and Egyptian pounds (some bring rubles with them in the hope of exchanging, but there is nowhere to change).

I’ll add to all of the above - during daytime excursions, drink less water, the more you drink, the more you will sweat. it is better to drink water before the tour at dawn and in the evening, upon return.
The minimum SPF factor for very light skinned people is 14 or 15. But you need to start with 25 or 30 factor. I am saying this as an expert. And every day, in the evening, apply after-sun products with various oils - shea (shea), peach, etc. Then your tan will last longer and will not wash off upon arrival home after a few days.
Don't get too carried away with snorkelling. Burn badly - water, because, as you know, is a good lens. If you decide to watch the underwater fauna for a couple of hours, put on a T-shirt and swim. Otherwise, no cream will help you.

I advise you to consider a first aid kit. I got sick upon arrival - I had to find out that an appointment with a doctor for insurance costs $ 30 (plus negotiations with insurers by phone from the room, however, in Russian, thanks for that). antigrippin and paracetamol cost me this amount (since I do not use antibiotics). Another country - if something is not taken into account - there is no one to blame.

and even warm clothes for a trip to the pyramids or to Luxor. It is very cold in the bus at night, the temperature in the desert at night can be minus. Take cigarettes with you, they are more expensive and much worse there.

when we went on a motorcycle safari, we needed closed shoes and things, since there is a lot of sand and dust in everything, so as not to burn out. Hot and days in the evening

I can add to all of the above .... allergy pills, they are expensive there, and the likelihood of allergic reactions is very high.

I always take a mosquito fumigator with me - I have never had it so that it is not useful ... if you smoke, then cigarettes with you. we usually take a bottle of good cognac with us - in the evening before dinner we sometimes drink for appetite (we don’t drink their vodka))), again, don’t get poisoned. My golden rule: with any diet (even the most excellent) the first three days in the morning and evening 2 tablets of activated charcoal, the next days - one a day. Of the drugs, among other things, I definitely take Boric alcohol (if some water gets stuck in my ear) and "Rescuer" or "Panthenol" from burns. I always carry shampoo and conditioner with me.

I can join all of the above about clothing (jeans are not needed; light beach shoes + comfortable for excursions, clothing made from natural fabrics: cotton, linen), and about medicines (anti-allergic (solar allergy), anti-burn, gastric, for disorders), and about gels, shampoos (their one will definitely suit your hair), and about sunscreens. I also want to add that girls would do well to take personal hygiene products with them, because due to sudden climate change, a shift in the cycle is possible, and these products are very expensive in Egypt (a pack of tampons costs about 25 pounds).

Take socks on the bus for any excursion, even a day one, because they turn on air conditioners very strongly. and for a night trip, such as cairo or luxor, be sure to also have jeans with a jacket. some of the hotels took out blankets)))

It makes no sense to lug jeans, jackets and closed shoes. You can take sneakers, but if you really intend to wear them, it’s better to take comfortable sandals. Take socks. from natural materials. take a couple of T-shirts with closed shoulders, You can get burned. Be sure to use sunscreen. A cap or a headband. Take medicine, maybe something from the stomach. Because the spices that the Arabs lay down are not suitable for everyone! Have a good rest!
