>> Tips for Egypt
- Egypt, as you'd expect, is h.o.t., so a wide brim hat is a definite - also handy as a head covering for females when visiting mosques. Don't forget the water bottle, great walking shoes and sunnies.
- Food in Egypt draws upon its multi cultural status of Lebanese, Turkish, Greek, Syrian, Palestinian and North African. Choose some of the better (not necessarily expensive) venues for some yummy eating.
- Know your police - Security police wear black, traffic police wear black and white for winter and white in summer, tourist police (your guys) wear green armbands and are found around hotels and touristy areas.
