Next year I will be travelling to Egypt with my husband and 8 yr old daughter. I am totally paranoid and fearful about getting sick from either the food or the water. (A lady I work with just got back from a tour where she was the only one who didn't get sick). Is it true that you can't even shower with your mouth open? Is it a bad idea to bring a child on a tour?Need advice about food health/safety in Egypt - travelling with a child?Drink only bottled sealed mineral water. Brush your teeth with it.
Eat cooked food at a good restaurant or at your hotel. For salads and fruits eat only what is peeled.
Do not drink a very cold drink after a long time in the sun or when it is hot.
Squeeze a fresh lemon on your food when possible.
Concerning food there are no big name diseases, it is a matter of changing your eating habits and vulnerability due to traveling and changing your place. Eat with moderation, choose light food that is nearest to your regular meals. Boost your immunity system by taking vitamins.
When you order a cold drink ask for it without ice.
Use a good sun blocker, wear a hat, wear cotton clothes like a loose cotton skirt and cotton T shirts. Your hat should cover the back of your neck, carry a bottle of water and drink often, wear comfortable shoes with cotton socks.
That should do it. Enjoy your trip.Need advice about food health/safety in Egypt - travelling with a child?When traveling anywhere it is best to drink bottled water. Local water and things cook in it can cause you to get sick because your body is not used to it.
There are American restaurants all over the world so you have that option and if you know some locals, have them show you some good spots.
