Is ice in drinks safe in Egypt?

Based on 1 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 1 day ago

TL;DR

Ice served in Egyptian hotels and bars is commercially produced from purified water and delivered in sealed bags — it is generally safe to consume. Brushing teeth with bottled water is still recommended.

What the community said

Hotels do not freeze tap water for ice — it is commercially manufactured from purified water and delivered in sealed packaging. There is no need to avoid cocktails with ice.

Tried cocktails with ice without any health issues. Brushing teeth with bottled water was used as an extra precaution.

Bottled water was used exclusively for brushing teeth to avoid any risk from tap water. Ice in drinks is considered safe as it comes pre-packaged from a production facility.
