Climate

Shots
In general, no immunizations are necessary for visiting the major tourist areas of Egypt. However, if you have concerns, please consult your personal physician. If entering Egypt from an infected area, evidence of Yellow Fever and Cholera immunizations is required.
Language
Arabic is the official language of Egypt. English and French are widely spoken.
Dress
Clothing - Egypt is quite conservative with regards to dress. It is best for both men and women to keep shoulders and legs fairly well covered. Loose, flowing garments in natural fibers (cotton, linen) are ideal for the Egyptian heat. Shorts are tolerated at tourist sites, but should be knee length. In winter, layering is the best way to transition from the warm days to cool nights.
Walking shoes - Most visitors to Egypt will do a great deal of walking on dusty, rocky ground. Good thick soles and material that breathes are a must.
Sun hat - Keeping the head and neck covered prevents sunstroke. A large brim will provide shade, and something in cloth can be soaked to cool the head in very hot weather. For women, a scarf will also come in handy as a head and shoulder covering when touring mosques and churches.
Currency
The currency of Egypt is the Egyptian Pound; 1 pound = 100 piastres. Money can be exchanged at American Express offices, banks and many hotels (banks usually have the best exchange rate).
