Travelling is such a joy! It would even be more joyful if you packed your bags the right way because any missing item might not make your trip as fun as it should be. So make sure you have everything you need beforehand so you can enjoy your trip in peace. And if you happen to forget something, don’t worry about it and still enjoy your trip because nothing is better than having fun on a trip despite any obstacles that might come up.
Yaoota is offering you a list of some of the most important things you should not forget..
1- Multi-port USB charger
If you forgot any of your devices’ chargers, you would have the multi-port USB charger. It would even save you space in your bag because you do not have to carry multiple chargers now. You can use this multi-port charger to charge your digital camera, mobile phone, and mp3 players.
Here is an example of the multi-port charger and Yashry store can purchase it directly from Amazon easily.
2- Emergency phone
It is not particularly one of the important things to take and you would not really suffer if you do not have one. However, it is a good suggestion if you will be gone long periods of time from where you staying or if you are planning to go camping; because there is a probability that your phone battery might die, after all. You can buy a cheap mobile phone with less than 100 EGP to use as an emergency phone if your battery died and you still needed to make important calls.
Examples include the Alcatel 1010 and the Mobitel G10.
3- Iron for trips.
No one could really forsake the iron at any place or time. And if you were at a place where they do not offer ironing services, then you would have your own!

5- Flashlight
A flashlight is really essential to have on a trip. The electricity can go off at any time and it can come in handy then. Maybe also you will be on a trip to a dark cave, for example, in which you will need the light. So instead of ruining your adventure, make sure to always have a flashlight with you.

6- Scarf
A scarf has many uses on a trip. It can be a stylish accessory to your outfit. You can also use it as a headband. It can even work as a pillow when clumped. Moreover, you can use the scarf to cover your eyes from the sand and wind on a safari, for example. In the case of emergency, you can use to support your twisted arm until you find proper care.

7- Travel mug
This mug is used in traveling because it preserves heat and keeps your beverage safely without spilling. The cup’s lid is easy to open and due to its dual insulation feature, it keeps your beverage warm inside while the cup is cold on the outside for you to hold it easily. Travel mugs are usually easy to clean.

8- Wet wipes
Wet wipes are not only for children, by the way. They help you clean your hand and kill harmful germs. You can use wipes to clean the surface of tables and doorknobs before using them. You can also use them to clean your face after a long tiring day. In addition, wipes can be used to clean up a stain on your clothes because many of them contain alcohol.
9- Safety pins
Very versatile and important tool to have, you can use safety pins to close the zip of your bag for protection from pickpockets. You can also use them to close a button of your shirt if it falls off. You can use safety pins temporarily when your bag or shirt is torn until you fix them.
10- Plastic or cloth bags
There are light and cheap plastic or cloth bags that can be used for single times during trips. They are used in department stores to place your purchases in. You can make good use of these when you are travelling; for example, carrying the things you buy along the way, putting the important stuff while on a beach or picnic. You can also use them to place the clothes you used along the trip so your clean ones can be separate and remain clean.
11- Portable first-aid box
You can have Band-Aids inside, painkillers, and any medications that you might need to use regularly during a trip. You can also put your shampoo, soap, and toothpaste among other things to save space as well.
Other essential things to consider when preparing for a trip are not mentioned here, such as choosing your luggage bag and the size that will fit your needs. You also have to consider the kind of clothes depending on the weather of your destination, which would then help you think about the medications you might need to take. And don’t forget your entertaining electronic devices such as your mobile, tablet, laptop, MP3 player, and digital camera. If you are a reader then you would like to have a book or two in your suitcase as well.
