Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same questions in advance of the trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.
What should I wear?
If you're lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it - the desert gets rather cold at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you're going to Phoenix of Vegas in August. For the ladies, bathing suits are normal if there's a pool where you are going, but leave the string bikini at home it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visiting any mosques (清真寺) or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow(肘部), and no shorts for men or women in those areas.
What special things do I need to pack?
One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian water, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it's dropped 10 or15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries .
What medical preparation do I need?
In a word: none!. The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called ''Pharoah's Revenge''. The thing that gets rid of Pharoah's Revenge is a regionally produced medicine, and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box. Don't drink local water. Do drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you’ll be fine.

As adolescents,having a great impact on the world may seem like an impossible task.Changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer,or finding the origin of human beings,but also recycling some things as well.
Recycle.
According to a report,63 million newspapers go out to customers every day and of those 44 million are thrown away.
The age of technology constantly creates new phones,iPads,or new computers.Many people will stand in line for hours to get their hands on the new technology,but about 75% of the old devices sit in the back of a drawer collecting dust.By taking them to the local stores that collect them they go to people in need.
Here are some astonishing facts on going vegetarian (素食的) for only one day.The Environmental Defense concludes that if the entire population omitted (省去) one meal of chicken,the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated would be the same amount as more than half a million cars are taken off the U.S.roads.
Ditch(丢弃) bottled water.
Most people drink bottled water because of the common conception that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water.

How to Be Happy
Happiness is a great goal to have, and it’s something you’ll need to work toward every day. The following will help you be happy.
Work on improving your weaknesses so you can overcome them. Everyone has weaknesses, so don’t feel bad about yours. If your weaknesses bother you, try to improve them by learning new skills or trying something different.
Express your emotions so they don’t get bottled up. Your feelings are super important, so don’t try to hide them. Ignoring your emotions can actually make them become more intense(激烈的).
Spend your money on experiences rather than things. Buying something you really want is fun, but it won't lead to lasting happiness.
Connect with others so you feel like part of your community. Humans need community, so being around others helps you feel happier.
