Upset stomach in Egypt????

rainee

highly recommend the antinal from the chemist it comes in a blue & yellow packet.
we've been to sharm 3 times twice with the kids and the only time i was ill was a dodgy sandwich (it wasn't so brilliant as it was on my honeymoon but still...)
antibacterial gel when handling money and using bottled water when cleaning teeth as well

We were in Sharm in May for our honeymoon and have to say we had no problems in our hotel at all! But loads of other people had horror stories!
Anti-bacterial gel or hand spray is a must especially when handling money, when you eat only eat at resturants associated with a hotel and always order food well done. Our hotel had 3 resturants (5 star hotel) and I'd have no problem with eating salad there, we also went on 2 excurtions where we ate the food offered for lunch with no ill effects - just make sure it's well cooked and piping hot before you eat it.
Buy lots of bottled water - make sure you drink several litres each day as it's stiflingly hot out there and very easy to get heatstroke so invest in a widebrimmed hat too. Oh and suntan lotion and after sun - bring it with you - it AIN'T cheap out there!!! Ditto wine from the duty free as wine out there is VERY expensive and quite frankly... rubbish
