What Clothes Should I Bring with Me to Egypt?
Pack light. You will drag your baggage around frequently. Bring a light jacket, layered shirts, and an umbrella. Also, pack sunglasses and a brimmed hat. These will protect your face from the sun. Bring comfortable, lightweight clothes made of cotton or linen. Pack all the usual apparel, like shorts, swimwear, socks, and underwear. You will need comfortable open-walking shoes or sandals for walking around archaeological sites.
Egypt is a liberal country. However, female travelers should pack at least one long-sleeved blouse. You should also bring a head-covering scarf for mosque visits.
Bring a multipurpose, sophisticated outfit for nights out. You can wear leggings in Egypt. The most critical item is a backpack. It will let you easily carry your belongings while you walk around the sites.
Documents You’ll Need to Pack for Egypt (Required)
Have photocopies of your passport, visa, and travel insurance. Also, copy your credit card and traveler’s check information. Keep these copies separate from the originals. Carry your travel insurance information with you. You may need it if you visit a doctor in Egypt. Leave copies of these documents with a friend or family member at home. This helps if your documents are lost or stolen.
Bring any discount ID cards you have. An International Student Identity Card (ISIC) can save you money. You can get discounts at Egypt’s most important historical sites. You should also carry your hotel and travel agency business cards.
Many nations can get a visa on arrival at Egyptian airports. This includes the United States, the United Kingdom, EU nationals, Australia, and Canada. The visa costs $25.00 USD per person, payable at the airport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your departure date.
All vaccinated passengers must have a QR code from an approved lab that verifies they have had their vaccines at the time of COVID
-19. Every tourist who has been vaccinated must receive their final dosage at least two weeks before departing for Egypt. You can check vaccination and COVID-19 test certificate updates.
What is the best amount of money to bring to Egypt?
According to the most recent polls performed by travel consultants in Egypt, a day of personal spending during your holiday in Egypt will cost around 650 Egyptian pou
nds. Keep your smaller amounts, such as $5 or $10 notes, for tipping, which indicates 5% or 10% of the whole cost, and for anything else.
Cash and valuables should be kept in a money bag, especially in tourist locations and on congested public transit in Eg
ypt. Many restaurants take plastic payments, and ATM machines may be found in major towns and tourist destinations, so bringing a major credit or debit card with you to Egypt is okay.

Bring cash to exchange into Egyptian pounds, and have smaller notes and coins on hand for tipping, taxi rides, and the myriad Egyptian shopkeeper
s that want tiny cha
nge. Due to Egypt’s hard currency shortage, more and more tours, hotels, and stores in Egypt are asking for payment in US dollars,
so have a modest stash on hand.
What Electronics Should I Bring on a Trip to Egypt?
A power bank, portable internet, earbuds, a universal travel adaptor (you never know), and a tiny camera or one with a detachable zoom lens are all recommen
ded. You may buy Egyptian phone credits or a SIM card once you arrive to call whoever you choose. You should have a portable travel strip on hand so that you can charge everything from your phone to your laptop or other devices.
When traveling to Egypt, what medications should you bring?
It is critical to include a medical kit and hygiene goods in your Egypt packing list, as these are not always available, particularly outside of tourist ar
eas. Every tourist should pack any stated medication that they may require. A toothbrush and toothpaste, tissues for public toilets, oral care goods, scissors, and tweezers are some essential hygiene items that should help you enjoy your vacation in Egypt.
Bandages, antibiotic ointment, ibuprofen, Advil, aspirin, and, if traveling off the main path or on a Nile Cruise, Dramamine, anti-diarrhea medications, and re-hydration s
alts should all be included in your medical
box. A dependable brand of sunscreen and skincare with an SPF of 30 or higher is also a must-have. Antibacterial hand gel and a mask are two of the most important items to have on hand right now.
