Be certain to drink enough water when traveling Egypt! Egypt's climate is very dry for the better part of the year, this is made worse by summer's high temperatures, which makes many tourists come down with dehydration each year.
Just feeling thirsty is not enough to alert most people they are in danger, you need to have water with you and drink it periodically throughout the day. When there is a long time between having to urinate or only urinating very small amount and it is dark yellow, these are signs of dehydration.

The tap water in Egypt is basically safe, but the water could taste strange because of the chlorine being so high in it. Tap water is not recommended though because of the variances in local quality in the different cities. You can easily get the mineral water in bottles. Make sure the bottle is sealed before buying it.
The fruit juices could have water mixed in so be careful of them too. Be careful of milk too it could be unpasteurized. Make sure to buy it from a shop that has a good reputation. Hot coffee and tea usually is fine since the water is boiled for preparing. Be careful with the ice though.
