What is essential for your holiday in Sinai:  

(usually you can bring up to 15 or 20 kilos of weight)

- passport

- money (to change in the airport, exchange rate is everywhere the same)

- light clothes (better if in natural tissues or cotton)

- some more layers / jumpers and long trousers in case of an excursion to Moses Mountain or to the desert

- sleeping bag in case of long stays in desert/ mountains

(on the coast you have hotels, camps or huts)

- slippers + tennis shoes or trekking shoes

- some socks, normal underwear

- a jacket if you go in winter

- sunglasses + a cap

- sun-protections

- a towel for the beach

- bikini, swim-suit, from December to April also a skin-suit for cold water

- fins, mask, water-shoes

- hydrating cream, normal toilette-products, hair removal cream for the ladies

- spray for mosquitoes

- some small medicines-kit

- lip balm.

You can find all these things in the shops and supermarkets of Dahab too.

What you cannot find: good hair removal cream. Good wine and spirits, pork meat, good cheese, good ice-creams.

For any need, in the chain “Metro” in Sharm El Sheikh you can find almost any sort of imported products.

Pharmacies: I would always suggest to find the medicines for local diseases in local pharmacies and not in a different country used to different problems and different bacteria and parasites.
