you can also bring extra comfortable shoes with you like high heels for women is not recommended at all since you will spend the whole day touring around the ancient Egyptian landmarks and sightseeing. Men should also avoid wearing dress shoes and bring tennis shoes which will be much better at walking. You shouldn’t also forget to bring your phone, charger, camera, personal items, etc. Rather than this, you will find everything in Egypt with very tempting prices and that will let you avoid extra weight at the airport upon your arrival not to carry many bags with you.
