Question
Using Electronic Devices
Answer
Egypt uses 220-240V unlike the US. Most phones are dual voltage, so you will need a European style adaptor (C & F plug types - which is 2 round pins) HOWEVER, if you are charging any other type of device such as hair tools, you will need a voltage converter. PLEASE EXAMINE THE LABELS: If it says "Input: 110-240V," it is dual-voltage and only needs a Type C or Type F plug adapter. If it only lists 110-120V, you will need a heavy-duty converter to prevent damage.

Question
Attire
Answer
Egypt is a very conservative country. While touring in the city, modest clothing will be necessary for both men and women. While at the all inclusive hotels, the dress code is more relaxed. While touring the city: Women: chest, stomach, and knees should be covered (this is not required at the resort) Men: no tank tops in the city. (This is not an issue at the resort) Wedding: formal attire is requested
