Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, hat, refillable water bottle, modest clothing for religious sites, and a power adapter (Egypt uses types C & F) are essential.
You may also want to pack:
-
Lightweight, breathable clothing (especially for visits to Luxor and Aswan, where temperatures can be high).
-
A light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings in winter, particularly in Cairo.
-
Sunglasses with UV protection to handle the bright desert sun.
-
A small backpack for daily excursions to carry water and essentials.
-
Personal medications and basic first-aid items.
-
A scarf or shawl (useful for mosque visits or added sun protection).
-
Swimwear if your tour includes the Red Sea or a hotel pool.
-
A portable phone charger or power bank for long sightseeing days.
Packing smart helps you stay comfortable during long temple visits, museum tours, and desert excursions while keeping your luggage light and manageable.
