Well, this is something the most of you already know. Avoid any contact with a tap water. No ice, no veg or fruits if you can't peal or cook them..
But if you get sic follow this advice please!!!
First day when you arrive in Egypt go to any pharmacy and buy ENTOCID ( pronounce- entoseed ) tablets. The pack of 8 costs only 2 LE . On the first sighn of sicknes drink at once 2 tablets and after take them for few days, one in the morning and one in the evening. (although the problems are most likely to stop in few hours after first two)
Belive me it is working. The advice was given to us from Serbian guide who lives there for last 8 years.
I have to put this tip on all of my Egypt pages. Leave a Comment

At the beggining I thought they were saying "don't drink tap water" because of bacteria or pathogen or something like this.
The truth is that this water IS OVERCHLORINATED. Some travelers have not been used to such amounts of chlorine and this sends them to the toilet for days. Don't risk it. Drink bottled.

..and for me personally I was also trying to drink some bottled water that was Lebanese (since Im used to it, like Sahat) or some french bottled water like evian. Whatever your choice is, NEVER drink tap water. Leave a Comment

One good thing about the heat is that I was actually drinking the correct amount of water. I think at home I am probably dehydrated most of the time! Leave a Comment

Dont drink tap water,it`s like drinking chlorine,always drink botteld.
There are plenty of local brands of bottled water (Baraka,Siwa,& Hayat)as well as many other worldwide known names like Evian,Nestle ,Dassani and Schweppes. Leave a Comment

Well,this thing is not recommended for tourists from rich country.
drinking water from tape is not that good thing,I think better to use bottles its very cheap here "1.5Pounds for 1 litre"
Traveller diahrria is something you may get while you are here. Leave a Comment

It is a good idea to drink bottled water instead of tap water as you can sometimes get diarrhea. However I mainly used type water and was fine. It's a good idea to buy bottled water but if you don't I'm sure you will be fine! Leave a Comment

Use mineral water all the time.Do not show off your money in public.Do not use local buses they are very crowded.Also use the subway if you can or Taxis. Leave a Comment

DO NOT DRINK THE WATER! Do not even brush your teeth with it. Do not eat fruits or vegetables that are not cooked or able to be peeled. Do not get ice in your drink. If a bottle of water or cola comes to you already opened- do not drink it. Make sure they open the bottles at your table or else it could have been watered down with tap water. Boiled water is OK. This is an important warning- at the very least you spend a day on the toilet instead of sight-seeing! You can also get very, very seriously sick. Also be aware of current travel advisories to Egypt. Sometimes it is risky to travel there. I did not have any problems on either of my trips there, but the situation is constantly changing there. Tourism is a major source of income for the country so the results of losing tourism because of terrorism would have a huge impact on the economy. The government does a great deal to protect tourists in Egypt. Leave a Comment

Bilharzia is occurring in Egypt and you should avoid any contact with the river Nile's water. There is an expression that says "If you drink the water of the River Nile, you will come back again." I would say that if you drink the water of the River Nile you might never leave...
