Leaving for Egypt next week - any last minute advice?

We are flying out to Egypt on Christmas Day, yay! I've been reviewing all the Egypt threads I've bookmarked. If you have any last minute advice - packing tips, trip preparation, shopping tips, general Egypt tips/advice - that you can send my way, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

We will be in Sharm for 5 days, then heading on to Cairo to join our Egypt in Style Tour with STI Travel.

Bring clothes to layer. Our weather has been colder than usual for December, but then it warms up, so you want to be ready for both cold and warm. We also had an unseasonable sand storm two days ago. YIKES!

Good to know, Debbie. I've been wondering if I had too many cardigan-type sweaters in the pile of things to pack. Sounds like they might come in handy! Thanks! FIVE DAYS til I leave!!!!!

Thanks for the heads up on the weather, Debbie! I was wondering if I should bring my thick jacket. It's good to know that I will probably be using it with the colder-than-usual weather!

Abby97 - have a fab trip!
