Clothing: In the warm climates of Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor, it’s recommended to wear lightweight and comfortable clothing. When visiting religious sites, modest attire is essential, which means covering your shoulders and knees.
Tipping: Tipping is customary in Egypt and is appreciated by guides, drivers, and hotel staff. While it is not mandatory, it is considered polite to tip.
Weather: Summers in Egypt can be extremely hot, so be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. The best times to visit are during the fall and spring seasons.
Photography: Always ask for permission before taking pictures at temples or of local people.
What to Pack: Bring your passport, camera, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, any personal medication, insect repellent, breathable clothing for excursions, and modest outfits for visiting temples and mosques.
Traveling with Children: Check with your travel agent to see if a particular tour is child-friendly and if comfortable accommodations are available.
Traffic: Traffic jams can be common, especially in large cities, so be sure to allow extra time for travel.
Valuables: Leave jewelry and other expensive items at the hotel, particularly if your tour involves off-road or rural travel.
