Dress Code:

Modest dress is recommended, especially when visiting religious sites. For men and women, this means covering shoulders and knees when visiting temples, mosques, and other sacred sites.

Health & Safety:

Water: Tap water in Egypt is not drinkable. Always opt for bottled water.

Vaccinations: No specific vaccinations are required for entry to Egypt, but it is recommended to drink bottled water and avoid street food that might cause stomach issues.

Safety: Egypt is generally safe for tourists, though you should take basic precautions such as avoiding isolated areas at night and safeguarding your belongings.

Tipping:

Tipping is customary in Egypt, and you will be expected to tip guides, drivers, and hotel staff. It’s recommended to tip around $5-10 USD per day for the guide, driver, and cruise staff.
