Travel health for Egypt
Desert climate with very hot summers, mild winters, and a sharp temperature drop after sunset away from the coast.
Before you travel
Desert climate with very hot summers, mild winters, and a sharp temperature drop after sunset away from the coast.
During your flight
On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.
Mosquito protection
Insects are a limited concern, though mosquitoes appear along the Nile and in the Delta during warmer months.
Sun & heat
Temple and desert days involve hours of direct sun with almost no shade. Heat exhaustion is the practical risk, not sunburn alone.
Food & water
Bottled water is the norm, and the volume needed in summer surprises people. Rehydration sachets are widely packed for this destination.
First aid
A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
