Are there mosquitoes in Egypt and how to protect yourself?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago
TL;DR
Mosquitoes are present in Egypt, especially outdoors. Use plug-in repellents in your room and spray repellents like OFF before going out. Children tend to get bitten more than adults.
What the community said
Mosquitoes are a real nuisance, especially for children. Even with a plug-in repellent running and spray applied before dinner, kids came back covered in bites while adults were barely touched. How the mosquitoes get into the room is unclear, but it happens.

Inside the hotel room mosquitoes were barely noticeable, but outdoors they were present. A plug-in repellent was used in the room as a precaution, and OFF spray was applied before going outside. The spray was bought online before the trip.
