Cairo Packing List Tips by Saladinos

Luggage And Bags: get a small waist bag with you to have your stuff kept inside it while making your excursions.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Cairo's weather is average most of the year. I remind you to get your shades with you cause it will make you feel better under the sun and will also give you the chance to look aound without being irritated.
Ladies can ear anything they want if they are going out at night but better to cover it with a coat kind of thing.

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Your only mediacal supplies would be pills for stomach problems and skin care and sun cremes. Medication is very cheap in Egypt but just get what you trust more.

Photo Equipment: Very important. Some places in meuseum will not allow cameras and others will not allow the flash of the camera.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Dont forget to get your bathing suits and get more than one in case you didnt like the atmosphere. under water eye glasses is not that important since you can get it from the hotel.

Miscellaneous: electricity in Egypt is a 220 volts so make sure not to use the 110. Get the transformer or buy it from Egypt (less than 30 US dollars).
