How to have a great vacation and not get into trouble?

Before traveling to another country, you need to insure yourself, make a couple of copies of your passport, collect a first aid kit for any occasion and do not forget your swimming trunks and swimsuit. True, in some countries, vacations can turn into a real disaster, which has nothing to do with the bright booklets of tour operators.

The crime rate is high here.
There is a risk of contracting typhoid and malaria, so be sure to vaccinate yourself and your loved ones.

Egypt is a Muslim country, so it is not recommended to wear too revealing outfits outside the hotel.
In Egypt, various diseases such as hepatitis A and B are common.
