I am traveling to Egypt and the Nile in March are there any insects as I am prone to getting bitten or other travel tips etc ...mant thanks dave


i went on a Nile cruise in January , and did didnt have any problems with insects .

but you can take with you a mosquito repelent to be on the safe side .

in Egypt , drink bottled water and brush your teeth with it .

apply sunblock to exposed parts of your body .

wear a hat when you are in the sun .

take cotton clothes to wear in the sun when it is 25C , but have a warm jacket for the evenings which are cold , abt 7 C in Aswan and Luxor .

in Cairo , it would be 18 C am and 6 C pm.

There are many Mosquito's nearby the river, but if you bring some repellent you should be ok, a lot depends on where you are going. At that time of year it wont be bad, its mostly july & august the worst.

Other tips, drink plenty of water, & suncream, & a hat.

Oh, & enjoy yourself..................

yes but contrary to above they are not that bad and March is not a difficult time of the year for insects as it can still be chilly at night.

but i would take some remedy for the bites you may get.

Insects are everywhere. When your near the water they tend to be most unbearable. I suggest bug repellent and a huge insect swatter.

Insects are gross...

Other than huge mosquitos that will bring you malaria? No, none.

Dude no, this is not Central Africa!!
