Egypt is a short flight from Birmingham and one of the most popular winter sun destinations in the UK. Whether it’s the pyramids, a Nile cruise, or a week in Sharm el-Sheikh, the health risks are generally lower than sub-Saharan Africa or Southeast Asia – but a couple of key vaccines are still recommended.
