Passports

Make sure your passport is valid at least 6 months beyond the time you chose to travel.

Visas

Check the visa requirements for your destination well in advance of travel and even before you depart, as visa requirements can change at any time.

Culture
Please - when you are visiting places of religious significance, both men and women should dress appropriately.
Men and women should have their legs and shoulders covered.
Medical

Be prepared for a change from your regular diet. It often takes your body a little time to adjust to the different food, water and hot weather. Therefore, bring some Imodium to stop possible diarrhea and stomach pain, and a general anti-biotic.

During the hot weather we recommend that you avoid eating red meat products and choose chicken or fish instead. Regarding water, please do not drink tap water or use it for brushing teeth. Bottled water is very cheap and available everywhere. Also bring plenty of quality sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.
