Before the Trip...

Useful equipment:

• Passport (valid for 6 months + from the date of the trip), visa and insurance

• Money (including visa card, needed to purchase entrance-tickets to the monuments and tourist attractions)

• Sun protection - cream with UV30 at least 

• Hat and/or a scarf.

• Sunglasses

• Clothing:

- Sandals on a solid sole.

- A pair of closed but airy, breathable shoes

- Clothes that cover the shoulders, knees and stomach - airy cotton or linen clothes and so-called technical ones work best.

- Women will need scarves to cover their heads and shoulders occasionally.

- If you leave the tents in your pajamas, I would ask that women cover their knees and shoulders, and men use their T-shirts at least

It shouldn't be cold, but it's worth having a light sweatshirt for a cooler evening and when you return...

• Powerbank

• phone/powerbank charger

• A light sleeping bag and a towel for camping in the desert.

• A flashlight, e.g. a headlamp, will come in handy in the desert

• wet wipes, handkerchiefs, basic cosmetics (if you don't bring them - you can buy them in Cairo)

I suggest that:

• in addition to a travel bag or suitcase, take a small backpack or bag to carry water and handy items during your hikes around the city and desert

• have a separate pouch for money and documents (e.g. one to wear under your shirt) and a separate wallet for money for current expenses. Pickpockets exist.

Note: this is not a commercial offer, it is a private trip organized by us for "Rabbit's Relatives and Friends"
