The specific gear worth packing for an overnight desert safari in Siwa or the White Desert. Drawing on years of designing itineraries across Egypt, our team has put together the practical detail travelers actually need before booking.

Comfortable closed-toe walking shoes with good grip handle Egypt's uneven temple floors, sandy plateau terrain, and cobblestone streets far better than sandals, which are best reserved for the beach or hotel.

Evenings on a Nile cruise or at upscale Cairo restaurants often call for slightly smarter attire than daytime sightseeing clothes, so packing at least one dressier outfit is worth the extra suitcase space.

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.

Egypt Rest Tours designs private, expert-guided itineraries built around exactly this kind of Egypt trip planning — reach out to our travel consultants to start planning your trip.
