Health Travel Attitudes

How you think about your health before and during a trip shapes how much you enjoy it. A little preparation, realistic plans and open communication with your guide go a long way.

Before you travel

• Speak to a doctor or travel clinic about vaccinations and medical advice for Egypt.
• Pack a basic health kit and enough of your regular medicines for the whole trip.
• Look honestly at how physically demanding each tour is (walking, steps, heat, early starts) and choose what suits you.

On your trip

• Drink plenty of bottled water and protect yourself from the sun.
• Eat freshly cooked food and wash or sanitise your hands before meals.
• Rest when you need to. A slower day is better than missing the next one.

Tell us what you need

• Let us know about dietary needs, allergies, mobility or medical conditions when you book, and we will do our best to plan around them.
• Tell your guide straight away if you feel unwell, so they can adjust the day or help you find a pharmacy or doctor.
• Many itineraries can be adapted with a later start, fewer sites in a day or a longer lunch break. Just ask.

Why it matters

Travelling with care for your own health also respects the people and places you visit. For more practical advice, see our health travel tips, or contact us with any questions before you book.
