It depends how up to date you are with your childhood vacinations. When i went i only needed two, but you might need up to 6! Your practice nurse can give them to you. Depending where abouts in Egypt you are going you will also need to take some malaria tablets, available from any chemist. Dont pay for the expensive ones as they offer the same amount of protection as the cheaper ones.
Have a good time, it's a fantastic place!!

Yes you do! In many cases several. You'll not be allowed to travel if your shot record isn't up-to-date....Your GP will be more than able to assist you with the various shots you'll require...Have a great trip!

Not if you do not mind dying from some horrible disease. The place is a cess-pit.

They are not compulsory, but some are advisable. And don't eat the food.
