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.

We provide both group and individual camping and cooking equipment.

• Moistened "Calinette" type towels for quick cleansing and good hygiene.
  
• Earplugs or Hears, your choice.
  
• A notepad and pen, a good book, a deck of cards...
  
• Small inflatable pillow for added comfort.
  
• A laundry bag so you can separate your dirty clothes from your clean clothes in your travel bag.
  
• Sleeping bag for a felucca on the Nile:
  
  A comfortable sleeping bag, suited to your size, preferably mummy-shaped (closer to the body and with a closable hood) with a side zipper for easy opening. It's essential to choose a sleeping bag appropriate for the temperatures you'll encounter, which will depend on the time of year and the region you're visiting. We recommend choosing a sleeping bag rated at least 10°C cooler than the lowest average temperature you expect. A sleeping bag rated to -10°C will also be comfortable at 0°C or 10°C; simply open it to allow air to circulate. Conversely, if you already have a sleeping bag rated to 0°C, for example, a fleece sleeping bag liner will provide an additional 5 degrees of warmth. (Sheets and blankets are provided on the Sandal on the Nile and the boat on Lake Nasser.)
  
• Cotton sleeping bag liner
  
• Toiletry bag
  
• Small personal pharmacy
  
• 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.
  
• 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:

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. Socks: light for daytime and warm (wool or looped) for evening in winter.
4. Canvas trousers and/or shorts
5. Swimsuit
6. Cotton shirts or T-shirts
7. Warm sweater or fleece fur: the latter has the advantage of being resistant, warm, light, and quick-drying, with the added benefit of a soft feel.
8. Windbreakers on the feluccas.
9. 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.
10. Category 3 sunglasses.

For the coldest evenings in the heart of winter (December, January and February), you will also need:

1. 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.
2. Cap
3. Gloves
