THINGS TO BRING

Best not to overpack. Keep in mind there is a wide range of things to buy at the markets.

  • Day bag (for keeping hands free, money belt)

  • Tissues — many public toilets lack paper

  • Clothes that are comfortable and loose-fitting, keeping in mind Egypt’s conservative culture

  • Good walking shoes, cotton socks, and good sandals

  • Sunglasses, hat, swimsuit, sunscreen, insect repellent

  • Toiletries, earplugs, eye mask, washcloth (sometimes not available at hotels)

  • Camera(s)

  • Small Flashlight

  • Journal & pens/ pencils

  • Adaptor plugs are the standard European type with two round pins. An adaptor is adequate for most appliances. A converter is optional but required for certain appliances. 220 volts

  • We will be visiting a farm island along the Nile Cruise portion and if you would like to bring anything for the kids, we suggest coloring books, crayons, pencils, notebooks, or any type of school supply.

  • Intention, focus, and especially your sense of humor
