sun cream high protection
special shoes for reefs - you can buy on the spot, you can in your city. Sharm is cheaper.
snorkel mask - you can also buy cheap in charm, or in your city.
fumigator - if you are afraid of mosquitoes (but they are poisoned)
something for allergies
from food poisoning.
everything else is the same as everywhere else :) medicines, personal hygiene products, etc.

I would also like to share my experience with you. Everyone bought in Sharm: Soap - 5 pounds, shampoo - 20 pounds, face cream - 40 pounds, suntan - 60 pounds (by the way, I didn’t even use half), Colgate toothpaste - 20 lbs, Rexona antiperspirant 25 lbs. All soap and soap products were bought in Egypt with them from home, they did not drag anything. We spent about 300 pounds ($60) on everything, while buying not the cheapest means.
The only advice for women, it is advisable to take your own tampons and pads, since they are very expensive and in terrible condition, in general, I don’t risk it, since the minimum cost of decent tampons is 8pcs / $8. I took the most necessary pills only charcoal, hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green, analgin and paracetamol, maybe the temperature from overheating. The weather from April to October is incredibly hot, what kind of wind are you talking about, you won’t feel it, to calm your conscience, you can take one blouse with a long sleeve, by the way. It was hot in Sharm even in November in the evening)! Camera, camera, phone, money, jewelry that you have (such as a ring and earrings with a bracelet) is NOT NEEDED to be declared). http://www.turpravda.com/eg/sharm_el_sheyh/Gafy_Resort-h8116-r44505

take medicine - for colds, drops for nome, for poisoning, coughing, temperature. everything can happen (climate change) Be sure to have a remedy for burns. Burning now is elementary. Buy a mask and a tube, slippers for corals in Egypt. Bargain. In Ukraine it cost more and the quality was not the same. ((Shampoo, shower gel and soap are provided in the room. Every day. ) but take deodorant, paste, etc. with you. why do you need to spend 60 dollars on soap and soap??? - buy better souvenirs. the water is very hard in the tap - the hair will be like a washcloth, tangled. We bargained for $10. Take a couple of T-shirts or a cape with elbow-length sleeves.

Be sure to wear light clothing that completely covers the arms and chest! Long skirt or trousers. In this heat, you burn instantly!

irina1988/ If you think so, then take toilet paper with you because theirs remains in your hand, I also don’t recommend washing with shampoo and hotel soap, it’s better to take it with you, and take another hairdryer with you, as it sucks, and take a ktyug with you how it is not there, and this service is very expensive, also your spoons and forks, because when you see the outward neatness of the waiters, you will definitely not want to take a spoon from their hands. That's why my husband and I took two backpacks on our shoulders with a total weight of 9 kg, took a lot of positive things, left words like "And if it's a friend" at home, took a good mood, positive emotions, words like "Everything will be fine" and hit the road. What for drops from the nose????? Against cough?????? Maybe take candles from hemorrhoids, otherwise something will happen)))))

irina1988 - when my husband and I flew to Egypt for the first time, our luggage remained in Boryspil, we had only two passports, money and two winter jackets, and so we went to the hotel, and took all the pharmacy with us, I took all the summer clothes which I had, and everything that was possible)))))) And I apologize, all this turned out to be "Asshole", we went to the second, bought my husband a swimsuit for my husband and lived like that for three days))))) And all your pills, and irons and hair dryers, and everything else that you decide to take with you is no longer useful)))) Take only a minimum of clothes, a swimsuit and swimming trunks, not ordinary food can be a disorder; immediately take coal from overheating, and paracetamol, and peroxide and brilliant green, sometimes she cut her legs on the sand) A cape on the body, the sun bakes a kapets, and the ointment from the sun is the most maximal)))) Buy everything else there, a slipper mask (the main thing is to bargain to the last) In Sharm, civelization, why do you drag extra 15 kg from home? at $ 60 - these are masks and soaps and soaps and juices and water and cigarettes) I wrote the prices. In the very sun it is from 12-00 to 15-00 go to the hotel or to the room)))) The sun made me dizzy.

http://www.turpravda.com/eg/sharm_el_sheyh/Gafy_Resort-h8116-r44505.html - described everything in detail. And by the way, from their water, I got a rash on my face, it is very iodized, so the Egyptians disinfect it. The hair was so soft that you don’t even need to style it like a fluff)))) So I don’t know who was spinning there)))) Egypt is a sea of emotions, a beautiful sea, nature)))) Enjoy with pleasure and with your head)

Lubovlo, so how do you argue? you can generally take 2 passports and a press of money and go to rest in a suite. And why take anything at all????? Anything can happen. How do you think greenery is needed !!! and if a person has a cold - go to the doctor to pay 50 dollars.???
You are welcome!!!! we also flew for the first time and lost our suitcase in Hurghada. we didn’t die. but it’s more comfortable to rest when you have everything - and not think. someone goes to rest for 10 days in the same shorts and T-shirt and they are also comfortable! type - rest - why collect trash !!!!!???? Maybe you also rested in hotels where the hands of the waiters are dirty, do not judge everyone one by one - we had cleanliness in all the hotels and everyone was tidy)))))))))))))))))))))))) )))
ointment from the sun is the most maximal)))) - I have never heard anything like this anywhere!!!!!))))))))))))))))))))
Each person goes to rest according to their means, and therefore it is possible even every 50-60 dollars in the price!

Three days later, he flew on the same flight and the airline we were flying with, as it turned out, during transportation to the plane, he fell off the tape :-))) And as we were told that this is a normal situation for Boryspil) Therefore, we decided not to become attached to things for the future and take there are as few of them with us as possible) We also took FB food (full board) - breakfast, lunch and dinner only without alcohol))) And we almost regretted it, our ticket for 15 days was $ 2450, and bought with FB $ 1920 , I do not drink alcohol, my husband only drank beer, 1 bottle / 10.5 pounds ($ 1.5). So the economy turned out to be economical. The only drawback of Egypt is the colossal audibility in the room, so if they give you a higher and farther room, rejoice)

What to take with you to EGYPT?
Small dollars (1 per tip, 15 visa)
Dollars for excursions (from 30 to 300 for each)
First aid kit: - Nifuroxazide or Enterofuril - for diarrhea (intestinal disorders), these are NOT antibiotics, they kill E. coli while not damaging the beneficial intestinal flora,
Ear drops (if you dive a lot).
Vinegar (after jellyfish, poisons, coral scratches), Vinegar can be replaced with Lime juice (it is always in the restaurant). Many poisons (stingray, sea urchin, zebra fish, stone fish) are destroyed at high temperatures, it will be enough for half an hour - an hour to soak the affected body part in hot (40-50 degrees Celsius) water.
Treat a burn from a jellyfish, coral, anemone with a solution of vinegar or alcohol, this will neutralize the stinging cells. Many poisons and toxins are not fatal to humans, but can cause a severe allergic reaction, so antihistamines should always be on hand.
Other medicines that you use at home are Pancreatin (for digestion with gluttony), for temperature, pain, bandage, brilliant green.
Safe tanning cream with a protection factor of 25-30
