Drinks are never included in the price of a trip; this is due to the fact that we never know what sort of drinks you enjoy or will order; even water is not included. Because the price of mineral water varies from place to place, it’s difficult for us to decide on a drink price to include in the cost of a trip.
Prices of some drinks are averaged as below;
| ITEM | LOCAL PRICE | TOURIST PRICE |
| mineral water | 5 L.E | 10 TO 20 L.E |
| tea or coffee | 10 L.E | 20 TO 50 L.E |
| soft drinks | 10 L.E | 20 TO 50L.E |
| fresh juice | 15 L.E | 25 TO 60 L.E |
| hibiscus | 10 L.E | 20 TO 50 L.E |
Alcohol is allowed and available in designated stores in all major cities, as well as in all tourist accommodations, hotels, Nile cruises, and certain restaurants and cafés.
