  Buying a hat last minute! Brother: "So hot!!!"
by matt10gonzalez
 
 

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: This is simple to listen to, but kind of hard to bring (and remember!) in reality!
The weather in Egypt is no joke- when it's 12 noon-3 pm, it's totally wearing and tiresome!
No, you don't sweat much here, it's a dry heat- but a killer one: Staying too long in it can give you migraines and a bad day!
And this doesn't only happen to Filipinos (tropical people) but also to all the people around the world! Notice, Egyptians take a long nap from 11-3? And that the Valley of the Kings is totally empty at noon? Because only SO few can take the heat!

MOTHER: "I always remind myself to bring umbrellas and hats but the moment we tour, I always forget them!"
BROTHER: "Ay...mom you're getting senile!"

Don't be senile too: Bring some protection for your head or get burned!

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
