Clothes:
- Basic temperature regulating T-shirt – No matter what the season, you’ll want at least one basic
temperature regulating shirt. - Cute temperature-regulating shirt – For some strange and inexplicable reason, Merino wool keeps you
cool in summer, warm in winter, dries quickly, and keeps away moisture. - Insect repellant top – You’ll need this in both summer and winter since insects and mosquitos in Egypt
are pretty active. If you’re particularly concerned, you can also spray Permethrin on your clothing before
you go. It lasts up to six washes. - Long-sleeved temperature regulating top – Winter in Egypt is relatively warm during the day and chilly
at night. You’ll want temperature regulating tops that are suitable for this variation in temperature. Even
if you travel in summer and you end up hiking or camping, you’ll want at least one of these tops. - Blouses / Shirts – For the rest of the time when you’re out and about, you’ll want some nice tops (short
or long-sleeved depending on your sensitivity to sunlight) - People generally dress smartly, so keep that in mind when choosing clothes. Just make sure you pack
lightweight clothes - Cardigan – Having one on hand for chilly evenings or for mosque visits. You’ll also want an additional
layer when taking a bus or train or plane anywhere
