The camera gear that actually earns its space in a suitcase for an Egypt photography trip. Egypt Rest Tours put this guide together from real client questions and years of on-the-ground experience across the country.

Universal power adapters are essential in Egypt, which uses the European-style two-pin plug and 220V current, and a portable battery pack is useful for long sightseeing days away from charging outlets.

A basic first-aid kit with rehydration salts, anti-diarrheal medication, and any personal prescriptions is worth packing, since pharmacies are widespread but travelers may prefer their usual brands.

Winter evenings in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan can turn surprisingly cool, so packing a light jacket or layered top is wise even for a trip planned mainly around warm daytime temperatures.
