Hiking and boating on Lake Nasser

Before your departure, check with the embassy or consulate regarding the entry and stay requirements for your destination country. You can also find this information on the France Diplomatie website ( https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pays/ ).

In the case of flights with stopovers operated by different airlines, also check the entry requirements of the countries you are transiting through.

It is your responsibility to ensure you are in compliance, particularly regarding the validity of your identity documents (for example, some countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return) , visa requirements, necessary vaccinations, and health recommendations. And don't forget to consider any customs restrictions and other potential requirements of your destination or transit country.

ℹ️ Information may change up to the departure date, remember to regularly check official websites.

• Earplugs or Hears, your choice.
  
• A notepad and pen, a good book, a deck of cards...
  
• A laundry bag, so you can separate your dirty clothes from your clean clothes in your travel bag.
  
• Binoculars for birdwatching
  
• Cotton sleeping bag liner
  
• Toiletry bag
  
• Small personal pharmacy
  
• Quick-drying towel
  
• Sunscreen cream and stick (face and lips)
  
• Headlamp with spare batteries and bulbs
  
• A 1.5-liter (minimum) water bottle, lightweight and insulated, or a 2-liter hydration bladder. The latter has the advantage of allowing direct drinking thanks to its drinking spout, thus avoiding having to take off your backpack to grab your bottle. This way you drink more regularly, and in small amounts, which is recommended for proper hydration. Tip: having two containers allows you to drink from one while the other is being processed.
  
• Water purification tablets (Micropur or similar)
  
• A multi-purpose pocket knife is preferable (note: this must be packed in your checked luggage on the plane).
  
• Toilet paper + lighter for destruction
  

Clothing, from head to toe:

• Footwear: some prefer walking sandals, others low hiking shoes: depending on the situation, this can be very comfortable, or not at all! We therefore advise you, in order not to risk ruining your holiday, to bring both, and choose when you arrive.
  
• Lightweight shoes (like sneakers) or sandals are suitable for walking through towns and villages, or for evenings at the campsite. Sandals are also well-suited for evenings, allowing for good ventilation (when the temperature permits).
  
• Socks: light for the day and warm (wool or looped) for the evening.
  
• Canvas trousers and/or shorts
  
• Swimsuit
  
• Cotton shirts or T-shirts
  
• Warm sweater or fleece: the latter has the advantage of being durable, warm, lightweight, and quick-drying, with the added benefit of being soft to the touch. The best-known fibers are Polartec, Carline, and Ulfrotté.
  
• Windbreaker
  
• A hat or cap with neck protection, and/or a shemagh: the first two offer the advantage of also protecting your face from the sun, which the shemagh (long veil scarf) does not do: however, it is very useful for protecting yourself from the cold, the heat, the sand and the wind.
  
• Category 3 sunglasses.
  

• Warm jacket: down or Gore-Tex jacket. The most effective jackets against wind and rain are made of Gore-Tex or Micropore, "breathable" materials that allow for rapid wicking of perspiration while maintaining perfect insulation.
  
• Cap
  
• Gloves
