There is no malaria risk in Egypt, according to current TravelHealthPro guidance, so bite avoidance is now about other infections rather than malaria tablets. Dengue is reported in Egypt. The mosquitoes that spread it often bite during the day and can be found in urban areas, so repellent, light cover-ups and accommodation with good screening still matter. Hepatitis A is commonly recommended for previously unvaccinated travellers because it spreads through contaminated food and water. Tetanus should be up to date, especially if you may be away from easy medical care or doing activities where cuts are plausible. Typhoid vaccination may be worth discussing for longer trips, frequent travel, visiting friends or relatives, or eating in settings where hygiene is less predictable. Rabies is present in Egypt. Most short-stay travellers will not need pre-travel rabies vaccination, but it is worth a proper conversation for children, runners, cyclists, animal work, longer stays and routes where prompt treatment may be harder to reach. Avoid touching dogs, cats and bats, even if they seem calm. Schistosomiasis is another Egypt-specific consideration. Avoid swimming, wading, washing or paddling in untreated freshwater, including rivers and lakes. Properly chlorinated pools and sea water are different.
