What vaccinations are worth doing before traveling to Egypt?

Vaccination is recommended against hepatitis A and B, which can be easily caught by consuming contaminated water or food. It is also worth getting vaccinated against typhoid fever, especially if we plan to travel outside tourist resorts.

What exactly is a VIP trip to Egypt?

A VIP trip to Egypt is an exclusive experience that combines luxury, comfort and the opportunity to experience some of the world’s greatest monuments in a unique way. The program of such tours is usually carefully planned to provide participants with access to places and attractions beyond the standard tourist routes. The journey begins with a premium flight and transfer in a luxury vehicle to a five-star hotel or private villa. Accommodation often includes views of the Nile, the pyramids or other Egyptian landmarks. During the tour, you can visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, the temples of Luxor and Karnak in the company of a professional guide who provides an individual approach and detailed information. Sometimes it is possible to organize closed visits to museums, such as the Grand Egyptian Museum, or special entrances to rarely accessible tombs.

What is worth taking with you on a trip to Egypt?

When planning a trip to Egypt, it is worth taking care of the appropriate equipment that will ensure comfort and safety during the trip. First of all, you will need light, airy clothes made of natural materials, such as cotton or linen, which will protect against the heat. Don’t forget about a hat, sunglasses and cream with a high UV filter – the Egyptian sun is very intense. 

Comfortable shoes are also an important element – both sandals and solid footwear will be useful for longer walks, e.g. in the desert or near the pyramids. Also take a first aid kit with basic medications, including painkillers, diarrhea and dehydration medications, which may be useful in the new climate. It’s a good idea to have a light jacket or scarf with you for cooler evenings. A camera will help you capture unforgettable views, and bottled water is an indispensable companion while sightseeing.
