Dress
code
Here it's important to "balance"
- meaning that it's good to
know some basic information,
but don't think you are going
to another planet either. In
part of the big cities you will
find Egyptians in the latest
fashion from Europe or North
America, while other places
you will find dress customs
most will define as "biblical".
In modern city areas, hotels
and more "tourist"
places - go as you please. If
you go to different areas in
same city or the countryside,
the tradition will be more conservative.
It is appreciated if you think
about this while visiting these
areas. For men, don't go without
t-shirt in such areas, and for
women - have a dress with around
knee length and an upper part
that cover your shoulders. Apart
from going inside a mosque,
there is no place a woman is
expected to wear headscarf.
To go inside a mosque, both
sexes will have to remove their
footwear. Note that in churches
it's also appreciated if women
wear head scarf - and for men
and women, no shorts in Churches
and Mosques.
Again, please remember - you
are not coming to another planet,
but Egypt with her millenniums
of history and culture. Use
your logic with above in mind,
and you as visitor and Egyptians
as your hosts - will enjoy your
stay!
