Should you pack a shower mat when traveling to Egypt?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 3 days ago
TL;DR
Yes — many travelers recommend packing a small rubber shower mat since bathroom floors in some Egyptian hotels/apartments can be slippery or not very clean; you can just leave it behind at the end of the trip.

If you're making a packing list, a small rubber shower mat is handy — it feels safer to stand on barefoot even if the bathroom floor doesn't look very clean.

No need to carry the mat back home — you can just leave it in the room or apartment when you check out, so it doesn't take up luggage space.

Some had the opposite experience: a similar mat was brought back but barely used and just sat around. Decide in advance whether it's for personal use during the trip (genuinely useful) or as a gift — in that case a more practical souvenir might be a better choice.
