Wear lightweight and comfortable clothing while exploring Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. Modest attire is required at temples and mosques—cover shoulders and knees.
💰 Tipping:
Tipping is customary and appreciated by guides, drivers, and hotel staff. While not mandatory, it is polite, especially during day trips or Nile cruises.
☀️ Weather:
Summers can be extremely hot, so bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. The best time for travel packages and Nile cruises is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild.

Leave jewelry and expensive items at your hotel, especially for off-road tours or visits to rural areas.
🧒 Traveling with Children:
Check if your chosen package is child-friendly and offers comfortable accommodations for the whole family.
🛂 Visa & Currency:
Check Egypt’s visa requirements for your country. Most travelers can get a visa on arrival. The local currency is Egyptian Pounds (EGP), and credit cards are widely accepted, though cash is useful for small vendors.
💧 Health & Safety:
Drink bottled water and avoid street food if your stomach isn’t used to it. Stay hydrated, especially during long tours or river cruises.
🎒 What to Pack:
Passport, camera, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, personal medication, insect repellent, breathable clothing for excursions, and modest outfits for temples and mosques.

Always ask permission before taking photos at temples or of local people. Nile cruises and day trips offer amazing photo opportunities.
