While I hope to have fun Euro summer sometime next year, this year I'm headed to Egypt. I'm no stranger to Africa, as my family is Nigerian, but I have yet to travel to Egypt. In a couple of weeks, my best friend and I will go on many adventures in the desert heat, and I'm packing early. I've detailed the types of fashion and beauty items I'll be purchasing for my trip below, so you can gain packing inspiration for any future trips to the desert that you may have planned.
I'm preparing for long days of walking too many steps in the intense Egyptian sun. As far as fashion goes, I'm focusing on long light layers, sneakers that go with everything, and breezy linen. When it comes to beauty, SPF is key, but also making sure I have my necessary toiletries, makeup, and perfume in travel-friendly sizes. Keep scrolling to uncover just what I plan on taking along for my Egyptian adventures.
