H i ,
I never been in Egypt, but I am planing to go (from London) . I go with my 8 month old baby. Is it a long flight? Food, water ok. there, no infections for the baby? As I was in Tunisia (before being a mum) there wasn't drinkable tap water, and the travel guide told me better not to eat fruits ,etc.... so big risks for food poisoning. Is Egypt the same ? very important, if it's the sam, than I won't go there with my son!
thx
there wasn't drinkable tap water
You should not drink the tap water in Egypt either, however you can get bottled water either supplied by your hotel or purchase it very cheaply, filtered water is supplied in the hotels, fruit etc is perfactly safe to eat as long as it is rinsed in either the filtered or bottled water, all the hotels use filtered water for cooking and rinsing food the exact same as it is in Tunisia.
Is it a long flight?
Flight time from London to Sharm is in the region of 5 hrs
I wouldn't recommend taking baby in the summer months stifling temps .............Nov - March really pleasant.......... Summer can reach 130 degrees x
Egypt is a lovely country and if you went in the right month would be very peaceful and not too hot for your baby. Stay away from summer months as the temps would be far too hot.
Flight time is anything between 4.5-5.5 hours.
As with the food i think if you choose a reputable hotel the food hygiene should be fine with no stomach upsets although you cant gurantee this as it may not be from the food. I was fine last year but my partner got a little ill whilst there but nothing some medication wouldnt fix.

visiting egypt with a small baby is difficult the summer because the weather is very hot. For another season no problem...
