TRAVEL TIPS
Pack the following:
Sun block, sunglasses, good walking shoes, power converters as Egypt
uses 220 volt and plugs are two prong rounded.
Water:
Try not to drink the tap water. It is okay to wash, shower and clean
your teeth with it, but not advised to drink. Bottled water is cheap
and plentiful.
Getting Money:
In Egypt, most of the banks are open from Sunday to Thursday; working
hours being 0830 to 14:00, though banks at the airports and the major
entry ports are open 24 hours daily.
Food:
Only eat thoroughly cooked food and fruits that you have peeled
yourself.
Making a phone call:
To call any country outside Egypt, dial your country code, then city
code then number.
To call Egypt from abroad, the country code is 002.
Tourist Sites:
Be prepared for delays when entering some sites. Because of the threat
of terrorism, you will have your personal belongings (camera bags,
carrier bags etc.) searched before gaining admittance. Though this is
annoying, it is for your safety.
Religion:
Photography in Temples and Tombs:
Egypt is a Muslim country, so please respect their faith. Many things
that you take as the norm, such as kissing and/or fondling your
partner in public, wearing revealing clothing etc., are frowned upon
here, so try and be more conservative in your attitude.
Many monuments have signs that say “ No Flash Photography”, please
obey these signs. The very bright flash can cause serious damage to
some of the ancient paintwork.
Traffic:
In Egypt they drive on the right, be careful when crossing roads. Take
special care in Cairo, where the traffic is a lot busier than in other
Egyptian cities.
Taxi’s:
Try to negotiate the price with the driver before getting into the
taxi. Taxi’s in Cairo and other cities are not metered
