"Drinking Water" Eating and Drinking Tip by Rachelynn

Eating and Drinking, Cairo: 9 reviews and 6 photos

Favorite thing: It's not safe to drink from the tap. You can buy bottled mineral water, which is very much available everywhere in shops and hotels.

It cost about 6EP to 10 EP for one large bottle in hotels, and 1.5 EP to 2EP if you buy from shops.

The brands that i took were Nestle and Baraka.

Some of my tour mates boiled the mineral water but i didn't. It's not really necessary. But it really depends on your comfort level.

But one thing to be careful, check out the seal of the bottles and the cap, make sure it has not been opened yet. Esp with soft drinks glass bottles.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
