1. Flights to and from the retreat. In other words you must organize your own flight to Cairo from your starting location, and then again when you are headed home after the retreat. Please note, flights to Egypt typically leave the United States the day prior to the actual arrival date. Keep this in mind when booking flights so that you arrive on the correct day. If you do not arrive on the correct day, you can still come on the remainder of the trip, but you will be responsible for your own transportation to whatever area we are in that day.
Please note that if your flight comes in after the pickup time in the itinerary or gets cancelled/delayed beyond the pickup time, you will need to get transportation to our hotel in Cairo.

3. Extra snacks or other items that you wish to purchase for yourself/others such as an extra coffee/tea while we’re out and about. This also includes things such as souvenirs.

We may encounter locations in Cairo where it is respectful to wear full coverage clothing as women. Many women either bring a light-weight scarf that can cover their upper body/neck, or purchase one while there.
Please consider packing lightly. Space will be limited, and we do move quite often on this trip, so you will need to haul your bags around a fair amount. A carry on sized bag and a backpack for a personal item would be appropriate.
Many people bring home souvenirs. If you are worried about space, you can always box them up and send them home via a checked box at the airport or via international mail.
