When you think of Egypt, you will be looking at a beautiful
land that will welcome you. Your travels through Egypt can
be quite wonderful, but as when you visit any foreign country,
you'll find that there is information that can make your
traveling a great deal easier. When considering Egypt travel
tips, you'll find that there is a great deal that you can
learn. Make sure that you keep a few things in mind and
you'll find that you have a great time.
1.Wear cool flowing layers
If you are going to be checking out Egypt travel tips,
you'll find that one of the most basic things that you
can do is think about what to pack. Make sure that you
wear long flowing layers with no synthetics. Covering
your head will keep the moisture in and the sun out, which
can be very valuable in the hot Egyptian sun.
2.Sturdy shoes
You should be aware that you will be doing a lot of walking.
While you can get lifts almost anywhere, many of the attractions
that you want to see will involve a great deal of wandering
on foot. Pack shoes that you will be comfortable walking
in, and keep in mind that a lot of ancient paving is quite
uneven!
3.Coming in
When you fly into Egypt, you might notice that you are
not in the city that you would want to be! You'll find,
however, that all of the Egyptian airlines have a taxi
service to the city centers for a flat fee. When you get
to Cairo, you'll have your choice of bus, taxi, or, if
you are feeling extravagant, limousine.
4.Getting a taxi in Cairo
When you are considering getting a taxi in Cairo, remember
that you are looking for black and white cars, which you
can hail by pointing at through the crowd. As the driver
slows down, yell out the name of your destination, and
if he can take you there, he'll stop. Don't discuss the
price until the ride is over, but if he insists, name
your price and stick with it.
5.Adult material
If you own anything that is of an especially explicit
sexual nature, make sure that you leave it at home. You
will find that such material is contraband in Egypt and
that possessing it can get you fined and have the material
confiscated. Better safe than sorry, so make sure that
you leave any explicit magazines, photos or movies at
home.
6.Think about segregated lines
The further you go from the urban centers, the more you
might notice that many things are segregated by sex. One
important tip for Egypt travel is to keep an eye out for
lines that are split between men and women. Similarly,
make sure that you use the metro cars; the first car is
usually reserved for women.
7.Buy locally!
If you have access to a small kitchen or if you are simply
looking for a snack as you wander the town, you will find
that you can eat wonderfully cheaply simply by buying
at the local fruits and vegetables stands. The prices
are set, so simply let the local merchants know how much
you want. This is a great way to be adventurous about
your food.
8.Get used to the desert heat
Another important Egypt travel tip involves how to survive
the heat if you go out into the desert. Remember that
you should take the time to get used to the heat, so take
it very easy until you know how well you react to it.
Move slowly and don't take on mre than you think you can
handle.
9.Drink more than you think you need to
Remember that when you are traveling in the desert that
you need to make sure that you are going to have access
to clean water. You will be surprised how fast you will
lose the water, so drink a lot. Take slow sips to make
sure that you don't get sick, but make sure that you get
all of the water in you that is called for!
10.Ask lots of questions
Remember that you came to experience a new culture, so
make sure that you learn everything that you can!
