Tipping
Tipping is a way of life in Egypt.

Everyone tips everyone, and Egyptians tip each other.

Go Tour Egypt will collect 1.7GBP or $3 US per day per person to cover tipping for services provided during the tour e.g. drivers, waiters, bell men/ porters, tour guides, hotel staff etc. We will collect the tipping kitty in advance to avoid unnecessary hassle during the tour.

Culture
Please – when you are visiting places of religious significance, both men and women should dress appropriately.

Men and women should have their legs and shoulders covered.

Medical
Be prepared for a change from your regular diet. It often takes your body a little time to adjust to the different food, water and hot weather. Therefore, bring some Imodium to stop possible diahorea and stomach pain, and a general anti-biotic.

During the hot weather we recommend that you avoid eating red meat products and choose chicken or fish instead. Regarding water, please do not drink tap water or use it for brushing teeth. Bottled water is very cheap and available everywhere. Also bring plenty of quality sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.

Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is strongly recommended for all travellers.

Electrical Adaptors
Buy an electrical adaptor for your mobile phone, camera and other electrical equipment before you leave home, as adaptors can be difficult to find in Egypt.

Contacting Home
E-mail is the easiest way to stay in contact with family and friends, and Internet Cafés can be found either in, or close to the places we stay. Most mobile phones work in Egypt, and International phone cards are readily available for use from a public phone.
