    There are no great health dangers when travelling in Egypt, and if you get sick, people in pharmacies will understand your body language, and come up with effective drugs. And if this isn't enough, doctors are easy to come across, well-trained, and fluent in English. If you're careful in the heat, eat in places that look clean and have many visitors, and drink bottled water. For all people who are drinking water from the tap I advice you : take imodium (loperamidum) or another anti-diarrhoea with you. I promise you that you need it! When it is to bad you can take an antibioticum such as ciproxine (ciprofloxacine 250 mg) And for stomach ache take motilium (domperidonum). If you have only cramp on your intestine you can take ercefuryl (nifuroxazide).

    As always take enough films with you !

    Please don't forget your sunmilk you shall need I promise

  • Alexnadria is very cold in winter..so bring heavy clothes with you..and ofcourse don't forget to bring your swim suit if you was coming in summer

    one of the best thing you can do in alexndria is to dive ,many cities are covered under the water..so don't forget to bring your diving EQUIPMENTS with you

    Alexandria has a mild weather. Summers are hot and dry, with temperatures between 20 and 36 Celsius. Springs and autumns are mild, temperatures are between 10 and 28 Celsius, but sand storms are most likely to happen. Winters are mild with temperatures between 9 and 20 Celsius. That is why it's best to wear layers of clothing. It's also advisable to carry a bottle of water and wear comfortable shoes.

    Prepare for the season

  • I visited Alexandria in February, and I was surpised at how cool the weather was. You may need a light jacket in the winter and remember that it will be very warm in the summer. I would have expected the warmth of summer, but I didn't expect it to be as cool as it was in February. I guess I should have known by the general location... it's still on the Med, which is still temperate no matter where you are on the coast.

    Packing List: Important Packing List

  • Its very important to have bags with hard covers to withstand handling at airport and train stations in egypt. Things can get nasty sometimes.

    Take monkey cap if going in winter as Egypt is a windy place. Dont forget wind cheaters.

    Paper Toilet cover to keep your butt clean in public toilets is a MUST. Toilets are not impressive in most of the places. This was the only place where i used them after purchasing them a year ago.

    Extra betteries for digital camera is a good idea because scenary is beautiful and camera will take a toll

    Phone number of Hotel, Addresses, Passport copies

  • small day pack zip up purse

    You may want to bring your own sheets, a small pillow and a towel. Some hotels and rental properties have funky bedding/towels. Good shoes - many streets and sidewalks are uneven Bathroom slippers - some bathrooms are funky a hat is great Conservative clothing I would avoid white, it's very dusty in many places.

    wet wipes are a must! tourista perscriptions mosquito repellent
