What to wear in Egypt during your visit

What to wear while you are in Egypt is one of the main points for foreign females before coming to Egypt, you should be mindful of the local culture and customs, which are conservative and modest. You can choose from a variety of clothing options, but here are some general guidelines to follow:

* Long sleeved shirts and pants or long skirts are generally acceptable and comfortable in the hot and dry weather. You can also wear loose dresses or tunics that cover your knees.

* Some women also wear a scarf to cover their heads, especially in religious places, but this is not mandatory for guests. However, it can show respect and help you blend in more easily.

*In the resort areas and tourist destinations the dress code is more relaxed and breezy. You can wear shorts, tank tops, or swimsuits, but only at the beach or pool. When you leave these areas, you should cover up again.

*It is advisable to avoid showing cleavage or wearing leggings as pants. These can attract unwanted attention or disapproval from the locals. You should also avoid mini-skirts, crop tops, or anything showing your stomach.

*You can wear jeans and makeup, but be aware that some conservative locals may not approve of them. You can also accessorize with jewelry, sunglasses, or hats.
