Heard about it...
But I have never taken any special medicines, I have been to Egypt more than once... =)
Mosquitoes, or rather mosquitoes, are full in Egypt all year round, they are well poisoned every evening with a smoke method.
Features in Egypt - you can not drink tap water, do not even wash fruits with it and do not brush your teeth with it, but you need to use bottled water or from a cooler.
Take pills for diarrhea with you - this is often found in Egypt from a change in water, and food that is unusual for us.
We take Nifuroxazide or Enterofuril - this is not an antibiotic, but it kills E. coli without damaging the beneficial intestinal flora.

I haven’t heard about malaria pills, I’ve been living here for 5 years, no vaccinations, no pills, you don’t need to take anything like that ...
There are also stories about water, of course you don’t need to drink, but to wash fruits and vegetables, brush your teeth, wash your face - for God’s sake, nothing has ever happened to anyone, Nadine, you also seem to be a tourist with experience, but everything is there ...

bottled water was drunk, tap water was used for brushing teeth and for washing cups. and our hotel neighbors just boiled tap water and drank tea, they say that they do this every year. who - how. we dragged a drink and drinking water in our luggage, and when we arrived, we found that inexpensive water (nestle) and a lot of delicious juices were in stores.

Africa ... Vaccinations are recommended, but, in my opinion, no one does them.
Drink water, of course, you need only bottled. But, let's not be fanatical: I'm talking about washing fruits and brushing my teeth ...))) I agree, medicines can come in handy. Better yet, do not eat their salads with mayonnaise sauces, take whole vegetables and cut them yourself

Yes, we have been to Egypt more than once, and in different resort cities.
Everyone has a different reaction to a change in water and food, especially new fruits.
My husband almost always suffers from diarrhea, and I have the opposite reaction. Therefore, I can’t talk about the stick, but something happens to the body.

No, never did. Firstly, because chemoprophylaxis is far from vitamins, secondly, they are not a panacea for malaria, but prevent the severe course of the disease, and thirdly, it must be taken according to a special scheme, for example, start 2 weeks before. before the trip and continue 4 weeks after. Therefore, IMHO, it is more expedient to use repellents, to observe the rules of personal hygiene. But, of course, it's up to you.

Malaria is common in wetlands. There are no such places in the Egyptian Red Sea resorts. Here it is better to take care of vaccinations against hepatitis, but this applies not only to travelers to Egypt, but in general to people who do not neglect catering. Especially in Asia and Africa.

In principle, of course, if you boil water, then you can drink tap water, but I always buy mineral water both for drinking and for cooking ... but there are people who cook from boiled tap water ....
That Nadine: about indigestion or not, I can recommend you, when you order what drink, no matter where, ask not to put ice and then you will not have any problems.

Karina-Mango - Ice was never thrown into any drinks, even into alcoholic cocktails, I hate it and taught my husband to drink only chilled drinks without ice.
The reason may be in a simple climate change, we have the same thing in Crimea.

Did not vaccinate all 6 trips. In general, our family lives wonderfully without vaccinations))
About the ice, it's true, it's better not to lie down. The first 3 trips I poisoned, until they told me about the ice. Then they took molds for ice and made them from drinking water in the room - everything was great!

I absolutely agree with all your recommendations, I read the same thing on the German forum, so these are not stories about water at all.
We tried to follow all the recommendations, and out of all our company, only I had an upset stomach, but I don’t particularly associate this with Egypt, because my stomach reacts very specifically to everything.
Before the flight, I specifically checked with the medical company whether it was necessary to do any vaccinations, the answer was no.

Nadine and Hessen, if the water in the plumbing is so poisonous, then maybe you shouldn’t wash your face with it and take a shower, otherwise, God forbid, it gets on the mucous membrane and then no sharks are scary .... What nonsense, here Nadine says that she also has an upset stomach in the Crimea, does this mean that she also needs to brush her teeth with mineral water?

Karina, you do not read the answers carefully, I have the opposite reaction, and my husband suffers from a stomach, and climate change is to blame for this in general.
And the tap water in ONE hotel was salty for some reason, I understand that it was cleaned, but apparently not complete, maybe the filters needed to be changed, but I don’t recommend drinking it.

I have also been to Egypt a couple of times. I didn't take any pills or injections. In Hurghada, there were no mosquitoes at all, but in Sharm they were bitten, despite the fact that the fumigator was turned on in the room at night. Thank God, no allergies were noticed, although at home (in Ukraine) a child gets bitten. They drank bottled water and boiled it from a cooler.

This or that reaction is an individual reaction of your organism!!! By stomach upset, any upset is meant - diarrhea or back reaction, we will not go into details, this is not a medical forum!
I don’t suggest you drink tap water, and I don’t drink it myself and don’t cook on it, read above, but you can wash your face, brush your teeth, wash dishes, fruits and vegetables - you can absolutely calmly with tap water !!!!

Of course, washing fruits with mineral water is overkill. But you don't have to drink tap water. Normal guides, by the way, indicate this (however, recently there have been such transfer guides, who will put you on a bus, take you and not say a word about the country or its features. It was a pity for people who came for the first time). By the way, take into account such a moment as "traveler's illness", i.e. natural adaptation of the organism. I, too, for example, in the Crimea is much worse than in Egypt. It's very individual. The very first time in Egypt, I was very poisoned. Only somewhere on the 4th or 5th trip did she fully adapt. By the way, take into account the local cuisine, try not to get too carried away with legumes, to-rye there in large quantities. By the way, catering places there are often not a model in terms of sanitary control. An example is that people who have a rest on their own (for example, renting villas) are less likely to suffer from gastrointestinal problems, because.
at least partially they cook their own food and control everything themselves. And, by the way, they don’t “get” to the buffet, because. even high-quality food in excess can lead to bad consequences))

No need to exaggerate! No need to get angry! No need to be snarky! The discussion must be worthy!
Not everything is so beautiful in Egypt, as you try to present and show, no matter what topic it concerns.
What is acceptable to some may not be acceptable to others.
Yes, it is the guides who point to this too: to wash your face and brush your teeth only with bottled water, but there is no question of drinking it from the tap.
I don’t know how it is in other hotels, in Dana Beach the water, both in the shower on the beach and in the room, is slightly salty. No one talked about poisons in the water.

Dana beach is Hurghada... I am writing to you about Sharm... And not once any of the guides offered to wash your face or brush your teeth with bottled water.... In any case, in the INTUIST Company, where I worked. You were simply misinformed, unfortunately, I don’t know for what purpose ...
TO Hessen: I'm sorry if the truth about water offended you, I honestly didn't mean to... It's just, the truth is that tap water is normal, you can wash your face with it, wash dishes, fruits and vegetables.... And if you follow your logic, it turns out that hands should also be washed with water from a bottle before eating, since fruits cannot be washed with it, right? Therefore, hands washed with tap water also cannot touch food? So or not?

Representatives of tour.about. Phoenixreisen, 12Fly-Reisen in Hurghada.
Why, then, in some hotels at the entrance to the restaurant there are special disinfectants for hands, if the tap water is so normal?
And bottled water is not necessarily mineral, ordinary non-salty water, with which they brushed their teeth and everything else.
Why touch food with your hands? There is a fork and knife.

hessen, to be honest, I don’t know what else to answer you .... I agree with one thing that you can’t drink tap water anywhere, not only in Egypt, but also in other countries .... As for everything else, this is a delusion, you can absolutely calmly brush your teeth, wash your face, wash your hands, wash fruits ... No need for fanaticism, the water is normal !!!! On your next visit, you can take a bottle of water with you and give it for examination in Germany, and make sure ... all foreigners, residents of Sharm, including Deutsch, use tap water absolutely normally, like everywhere they wash dishes, fruits, wash their faces. .. - this is what I know about and report on the forum, if you have a different established opinion, stay with it, there will be enough water in supermarkets for everyone, even if there are those who want to take a shower from mineral water.
I understand that there is a knife and fork, but there is also bread, which is taken by hand, as far as I know ....

The water there is desalinated, that is, technical, you can’t drink it, it’s quite possible to swim and there will be no harm. Malaria mosquitoes are most likely to be in the Nile region. But I’m not an expert and I could be wrong, but they don’t seem to breed in sea water, it just doesn’t concern me in my youth I received a full set of vaccinations for the tropics.

By the way, the guides say that you need to DRINK bottled water, and brush your teeth, wash fruits, etc. you can use the usual one, they still chuckle at the same time, like there are some tourists ... In the end, if not on beer, then at least on water, we will increase sales to the Arabs.
And people who have lived there for a long time (not only Egyptians) really drink tap water, only boiled. Get used to it, get used to it. The guides themselves said, only we, tourists, are not advised

Karina, you are confusing mineral water and ordinary drinking water. Most of the water sold in stores (for example, Baraka) is ordinary fresh water, well purified by reverse osmosis. And even if water is poured from a "source" - wells - it's just spring water, but not mineral water. Mineral water is water rich in minerals. But all this is beside the point, of course.
Personally, I think it's "better overdone than underbad", which is why you shouldn't drink tap water in Africa and Asia. Teeth and fruit - sometimes from a bottle, sometimes from tap water, without fanaticism.
"""Tap water cannot be drunk anywhere, not only in Egypt, but also in other countries"""
Looking at what Others :))) In Switzerland, tap water is of excellent quality. So much so that in hotels on the floor there are vending machines with ice and empty small bottles so that tourists can get water from the tap for their excursion or on the road.
