Every year more and more of our compatriots choose holidays in Egypt because of its inexpensive cost and decent quality of service. But not everyone knows how to dress in Egypt, so as not to offend or shock the local population, and to avoid unnecessary problems, ruining a good mood.
It should not be forgotten that Egypt is a Muslim country with all the ensuing traditions and customs in dress. Remember to respect the customs of the country where you are visiting.
For people planning their trip to Egypt, it will be correct to take two options of clothing: clothes in which you can walk on the territory of the hotel, and clothes in case you leave the hotel territory upon departure, for example, on an excursion. The territory of the hotel is a free zone, and on hot days, you can wear a swimsuit or a pareo. Outside the hotel, we advise you to dress more modestly to avoid unpleasant adventures. Miniskirts and bare shoulders are not the best option for walking outside the hotel. Everyone is well aware of the Egyptians' interest in beautiful female tourists. By putting on defiant clothes, you will only warm him up, and he will become even more aggressive. Of course, in a conflict situation, the tourist police should come to the rescue, but it is better to think in advance about your appearance if you are going to leave the hotel territory in order to avoid unnecessary problems.
And, in general, you can dress in Egypt like in summer, in all seasons. If you went on vacation in the winter to the resorts of Egypt, located north of Cairo, it is advisable to take a warm sweater or windbreaker with you. Since during the winter months, some coastal areas are characterized by strong winds, and the air becomes cool at night. If your plans include visiting the pyramids, the desert or other attractions, bring hard-soled shoes with you. On the territory of the hotel, in the bars and clubs located there, any form of clothing is allowed, and if you took your favorite mini on vacation, you can safely wear it in the hotel and the entertainment establishments attached to it.
For visiting temples, women are advised to choose clothes that do not bare their shoulders. Also, you cannot visit the temples in miniskirts and short shorts. And, when packing your suitcase, pay attention that the clothes are made from natural materials. So it will be convenient for you to travel on excursions and it will be easier for you to endure the local heat during excursions.
