This trip travels through Egypt, a country well accustomed to tourism. Egypt is an Islamic country and women should consider dressing appropriately so as not to cause offense culturally and to avoid attracting unwanted attention, however there is no compulsory dress code. Toilets you encounter in public restrooms or in remote unscheduled stops along the way may be of the eastern ‘squat’ variety. There are some long travel days, but rest assured on arrival we will always be checking in to accommodation that is of an excellent standard. In Egypt, every traveller no matter the style in which they choose to travel will be subject to the “hassle factor”. Local people will often see travellers as a way to make money, whether this is by providing a product or service in the marketplace, providing directions on the street or offering to carry your bag for you. Our advice is to remember it is part of the culture here and to carry lots of small notes for ‘backsheesh’ or tipping. A thick skin and a good sense of humour will serve you well in these circumstances in which locals can often be relentless.
Facilities such as pharmacies, banks and ATM’s can be found in large cities and towns but will be absent from smaller villages and remote places.
Any dietary requirements should not be an issue while traveling on this trip, provided they are disclosed to Inverted Atlas at the time of booking.
