Egypt is a country shrouded in mysterious history. Almost everyone wants to see one of the wonders of the world – the Pyramids. In addition, a vacation in Egypt is considered affordable for any wallet. But people choosing Egypt are very worried about security..
Holidays in Egypt
1
In Egypt, waves of protest and riots often pass, sometimes they die out, and sometimes flare up with renewed vigor. Before booking a tour to Egypt, contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There you can find out how safe it is to relax at the moment in your chosen region of Egypt.

When you go on vacation to Egypt, do not forget about one of the main problems of this country – unsanitary conditions. You can’t drink tap water in Egypt; it’s best to buy plastic bottles of drinking water. You need to eat either in your hotel or in good restaurants designed for tourists.

It is not safe in Egypt to swim in river water. In the coastal waters of the Nile flatworms live, causing schistomiasis. In addition to worms, crocodiles can also be found in the waters of the Nile. Therefore, bathing places should be chosen carefully. It is best to swim in the sea or in the pool on site.

Egyptian medicine is fundamentally different from Russian. If in large cities you can still find a qualified specialist, then in remote areas it is better not to seek medical help at all. Before you fly to Egypt, you need to take care of health insurance and get on hand a list of qualified medical clinics.

Unusually hot climate can be another reason for unsafe relaxation. People who do not tolerate heat, suffer from cardiovascular diseases, it is better to refuse a trip to Egypt. Be sure to have hats that cover your head from the sun and protective creams.

In Egypt there is no open war, all the riots are concentrated mainly in non-resort areas. Therefore, rest on the territory of your hotel will be completely safe. Be that as it may, it is not worth initiating political discussions with local residents. It’s best not to talk to strangers on the street at all and not to attract special attention.

Another danger in Egypt is that traffic rules are not respected. Riding in Cairo is so chaotic and messy that even a Russian person will not be able to understand the driving style of the Egyptians. It is necessary to cross the road very carefully, even to the green light. It’s best to abandon the idea of car rental. Not safe even on sightseeing buses.
Holidays in Egypt can hardly be called a dangerous adventure, there are countries that pose a great threat. Nevertheless, do not forget about the basic safety rules in this country. If you relax thoughtlessly, then any of the calmest European resort can become dangerous.
Good luck!
