Is it possible to drink tap water in Egypt?
Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Water in Egypt is safe for health only the Egyptians themselves. It simply differs in composition from water in Russia, and only this can lead to stomach upset (not to mention the possible quality of cleaning). So for drinking it is recommended to drink water from plastic bottles that can be found in the mini-bar in the room, buy in any shop or ask at the reception of the hotel.
In addition, tap water is not recommended not only to drink, but even to clean it with teeth - there is a great risk of upsetting this oversight of the gastrointestinal tract for a good half of rest.
