hi! we have just booked a weeks holiday to egypt on the 10th of september. I am abit concerned as i am taking my two young children aged 18 monthes and 3. I dunno weather it would be safe as i know it will be very hot. I am intending to buy factor 50 sun cream will this be enough to protect them from sun burn.
anybody taken young children before????
is it safe?
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it will still be very hot in September and you should certainly take precautions for your children regarding sunburn. High factor, good quality creams are a must for young children, as are wide brimmed sunhats. The kind of heat you experience in Egypt is usually a 'dry heat' and depending upon whereabouts you are going the temperatures can vary quite a lot. I am sure that some mums with young children will gen you up on those all over coverall things that you can buy especially for young children, they sound very good.

thanx. Will be very carefull. Just keep wakin that sun cream on.

Hope that's been of some help. If you need any more info send me a PM or reply here. Hope you have a great time when you get here & fall in love with Egypt & it's lovely people like I did.
I went to Sharm last June with my 5 year old and 11 month old son. We found the weather perfect. It was hot but because its a dry heat it didn't feel as hot as some other places we have been too. Our baby wore a UV costume at all times and a mixture of factor 50 and Piz Buin 30 once a day stuff. Not one of us burnt, but we were very careful. there were a lot of very burnt adults and children.
Our room had a kettle in it so I boiled all the water to make sure it was fine to make up my sons milk and he never had any problems with a bad belly and ate what we ate too.
We loved it so much we are going back in July this year.
hope you have a good trip
hi,,have fun in the sun,,slap that suncream on your kids,,big hats,sun suits and lots of drinking water,,,stay under the shade if possible,, have a great holiday.
Hi we took our grandchildren to Greece when they were that age and they were fine. We bought a uv suit for them here before we went and they basically lived in it. They had a couple of hours in the morning in a swimsuit then from 11 til 4 the uv suit went on . They were fantastic - also the hats to match with the piece that comes down at the back to protect the neck. Make sure that they drink continuously throughout the day -preferably bottled water and only eat at places that are busy. This will mean a quick turnover in produce so food will be fresh. Have a great time.
