Tips for travellers.

Remember!

• Respect local customs. Women should always dress modestly. Remember that you can be arrested for being drunk in public.
• Make sure you have a valid visa for a stay of one month. It is impossible to leave Egypt with an out-of date visa.
• Take care if you plan to drive in Egypt. Driving conditions are different from Britain. Make sure you have valid local insurance. Always follow the speed limit. Try not to drive on country roads at night.
• Bring enough money. Make that you can get more money if you need it.
• Don’t carry your passport and valuables with you. Keep them in the hotel safe.
• Bring a hat and suntan cream. Avoid too much exposure to the sun. make sure you drink plenty of bottled water and avoid drinking local tap water.
• Don’t forget to buy medical insurance. Make sure it covers the cost of medical treatment at a hospital in Egypt and repatriation to Britain.
• Never take photos of, or near, military bases, airports, or official buildings. Respect people’s privacy – ask before you take someone’s photo.
