How can I tell mosquito bites from bed bug bites at hotels in Egypt?

Mosquitoes may bite legs aggressively on hotel balconies, particularly in the evening. Cover your legs and use repellent before spending time outside.

Very small mosquitoes can also be encountered on desert excursions. They may land in clusters and may not make the usual buzzing sound.

Red, mildly swollen bites concentrated on uncovered ankles after an evening outdoors are more likely to be from mosquitoes. They can be tiny, quiet, and difficult to notice while biting.

Bed bug bites are described as appearing in a sequence or line rather than as scattered bites on exposed skin.

Inspect the bedding: fine blood streaks on the sheet can point to bed bugs. Clean sheets combined with ankle bites are more consistent with mosquitoes.
