Health


Upon entering Egypt, travelers over one year of age will need a yellow fever vaccination certificate (if they are coming from infected areas).
Vaccination against typhoid and polio is advised.
Precautions against hepatitis A and E and diphtheria are advised as well as immunization against hepatitis B in some cases.
Try to stay away from raw vegetables and fruit that may not have been washed properly as the change in water and diet can easily make your stomach uneasy and thus give you a case of diarrhea and nausea. Also try to drink as much liquids as possible to avoid dehydration in summer.
Always boil milk before you drink it as it may not have been pasteurized outside major cities.
Vegetables should always be washed and fruit peeled before eating.
Wading in slow or stagnant water could cause Schistosomiasis on occasion. Symptoms include inflammation, cough, fever and skin eruptions. This disease is curable, however it is not advised to swim or wade in the Nile where water is still.
All major hospitals offer medical services and attention 24/7. Hospitals are abundant all over the country, however they accept cash only and only some take credit cards. Pharmacies are usually open from 10 am to 10 pm every day, and some are open 24 hours/day. Local and imported medicine can be found here and is considered relatively inexpensive.
Try to avoid direct exposure to the sun during hot summer months, otherwise use some form of protection or a sun-block with a high SPF factor
