5. What should I wear when visiting Egypt?

Egypt is a Muslim-majority country with a modest dress culture, especially in local neighborhoods, markets, and religious sites. Light, loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics is ideal due to the warm climate. For men, short-sleeved shirts and trousers are fine. For women, it’s advisable to cover shoulders and knees in public areas. When visiting mosques, women should bring a scarf to cover their hair, and both men and women should remove shoes before entering. In tourist resorts like Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada, swimwear is fine at beaches and hotel pools.
