FAQs for Winter Camp in Sharm El Sheikh

Q: Can both men and women participate in the tour?

A: Yes

Q: Can I bring my partner or a friend who isn't a bellydancer?

A: Spouses and friends who are not bellydancers are welcome. Dance class costs are not included in the total price, since that is the one item they might not be interested in.

Q: What dance level do I need to be at?

A: It does not matter what level of dance student you are. The classes will depend upon availability etc. You only take the ones you are interested in. You will always learn something just being in the room with an Egyptian dancer. Yasmina will adjust the class to the level of the students involved. Classes with native teachers can cost anywhere from $10-$100

Q: What should I pack?

A: Pack your bathing suit. Pack comfortable day wear for hot weather. Sharm El Sheikh is a tourist resort and does not have the clothing restrictions that Cairo and other areas of Egypt have due to an Islamic society. Pack some nice evening wear for the dinner/shows. May need a sweater for evening. Good walking shoes for lots of walking. Accommodation is all 5 star, so it is not necessary to pack a blow dryer, etc. Bring your vitamins, you will never want to sleep. There is too much to see and do.

Q: Should I bring diving or snorkelling gear?

A: It is not necessary. We will rent the equipment there.

Q: What travel documents do I need?

A: Passport must be valid for another 6 months after the travel dates. With a Canadian passport, you can purchase a entry visa upon arrival at the airport with $20 USD cash.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of people on the tour?

A: There is no limit on the numbers going on the trip but for every 15 people, we will bring an extra host.

Q: Do I need vaccination?

A: Check with your doctor long before the trip about what vaccinations to take.
