Travel Gear & Luggage
Packing well makes every day easier. Here is what we recommend for trips that mix cities, beaches and the desert.
Luggage
A medium suitcase or travel backpack plus a small daypack covers most trips. Soft bags are easier on boats and in 4x4s, and a light padlock is useful for hostels and trains.
Clothing
Pack light, breathable clothes that cover shoulders and knees for temples, mosques and churches, a warm layer for desert nights and early starts, comfortable walking shoes and sandals, and a hat.
Activity gear
Bring your own mask and snorkel if you will be in the water a lot, reef shoes, reef-safe sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, a head torch for climbs and camping, and a power bank.
Guidebooks and maps
A printed guidebook and offline maps on your phone are invaluable where mobile coverage is weak, such as the deserts and Sinai mountains.
