Specialized travel agencies will arrange your delivery to the desired location, place you in comfortable hotel rooms with Piazzetta fireplaces and organize an exciting introduction to the country's attractions.
One of the most frequently visited countries is Egypt, and it attracts large crowds of Russians. However, once on the territory of this state, it is necessary to avoid all dangers that may await you at the most unpredictable moment.
Let's look in detail. So, the main mistake of visitors to this country is an irresponsible attitude towards valuable items, which our compatriots very often leave unattended in hotels. You should not rely on the number of stars of any establishment, because thieves and swindlers exist in any, even the most civilized country, and valuable items (expensive watches, jewelry made of precious metals, photo and video cameras, as well as documents) should always be kept with you or left in hotel safes.
Do not hand over the keys to the room you are staying in to others. If you lose the key, you will be forced to pay a certain amount.
In addition to the recommended behavior in hotels with fireplaces, tourists should also observe some other requirements in behavior in this distant country. Thus, first of all, if you are a woman and have come to the country to explore the sights and culture, then in order to avoid cooling the ardor of local men, you should wear a wedding ring on the ring finger. The status of a married woman has always been approved by Egyptians.
Since marriage has always been revered in countries where Islam is practiced, you can call yourselves husband and wife if, of course, you came with a friend. Do not respond to shouts from unfamiliar men, nor meet their gaze. Some agencies recommend wearing sunglasses.
It is very interesting that in some large cities of Egypt, there are special subway cars reserved for women as public transport. If you are riding an ordinary bus or minibus, it is better to sit next to a woman. Do not try to have playful conversations or cast ambiguous glances at men, as this can lead to major trouble, because Egyptians are considered a people with hot blood.
And, of course, we should talk about recommended clothing. It will be better if you wear loose clothing that covers your limbs, but it would be more advisable if it is not transparent. To hide your hair, wear a scarf on your head.
It is worth separately discussing the purchase and use of drugs. In Egypt, as in any other Muslim country, drug use is punished with the most severe punishment, sometimes authorities can sentence a person to death.
Let's talk about taking photographs. You cannot take photographs against the backdrop of government and military facilities, and you should not capture the Suez Canal - this is prohibited by the Egyptian authorities.
As is known, comfort abroad is ensured not only by hotels with stylish fireplaces, but also by reliable medical care. In order to receive medical assistance in case of illness, you need to take out a special insurance policy before the trip.
In addition to the above requirements, which concern both certain behavior in hotels with marble fireplaces and attitude towards the local population, it is necessary to consider the specifics of currency exchange. Such a procedure should be carried out only in banks of the country. In these reliable institutions, you can rest assured that the exchange will be at a favorable rate for you. Do not exchange money at the airport or in a store, and certainly do not exchange currency in a taxi.
When asked for a tip, you should act depending on the situation, do not hand out money left and right, because baksheesh (tips) are asked for almost everywhere.
It is also interesting that after being offered a free camel ride, getting off this animal costs a pretty penny.
Of course, when visiting any country, you want to bring back items that will long remind you of this amazing journey. But when choosing souvenirs and jewelry, you should also carefully monitor the quality of your purchase. In Egypt, for example, there is a danger of buying counterfeit essential oils diluted with water or sunflower oil. Moreover, fakes imitating stone and gold are passed off as real jewelry. Papyrus is also in demand, but some traders sell banana leaves instead, with a low-quality drawing on them.
By following all necessary measures, you will have an unforgettable vacation!
