Make sure that you have some small Egyptian notes when you arrive; try to keep hold of your baggage and avoid the many offers you will get to take it to your bus or taxi. If you do accept help be prepared to tip and use the small notes for this. If all you have is 50 LE (Egyptian pounds) you would dbe tipping a fiver which is a fortune in Egypt! If you go to the loo you will usually be expected to tip the attendant; one Egyptian pound is enough (10p). This time last year we were snorkelling in the sea mid day but it does get chilly nights & mornings but always sunny! For changing money while you are there use the ATM's.
