Egyptians are known for their warmth and hospitality, and simple gestures of politeness are always appreciated. A friendly greeting, patience in busy areas, and a respectful attitude go a long way when interacting with locals.
Modest clothing is recommended, particularly when visiting religious sites or traditional neighborhoods. While Cairo is a cosmopolitan city, dressing respectfully helps you feel comfortable and shows cultural awareness. Your guide will happily advise on appropriate attire throughout the tour.
Cairo’s mosques, churches, and historic monuments are active places of worship as well as important cultural landmarks. Visitors are expected to behave respectfully, especially inside mosques where shoes may need to be removed.
Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as many sites feature uneven stone paths and large open areas. Lightweight clothing is ideal for daytime sightseeing, while women may find a light scarf useful when entering religious sites. Your guide will explain site-specific etiquette and historical significance at each location, ensuring a respectful and enriching visit.
The Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the local currency, and carrying small bills is helpful for shopping and incidental expenses. Credit cards are accepted in many hotels and restaurants, but local markets and small shops typically prefer cash.
Bargaining is part of the shopping culture in traditional bazaars such as Khan El Khalili. It’s meant to be friendly and enjoyable rather than confrontational. Your guide can assist with communication and help ensure fair prices, allowing you to shop with confidence and ease.
Cairo enjoys a generally warm climate, especially from spring through autumn. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are strongly recommended during sightseeing days. Staying hydrated is important, particularly when exploring outdoor sites.
Evenings can be cooler during winter months, so a light jacket or sweater is useful. A small day bag for essentials such as water, cameras, and personal items will help keep your days comfortable and organised.
Cairo is generally safe for travellers, especially when exploring with a licensed guide and private transportation. Major tourist attractions are well monitored, and organised tours follow carefully planned routes.
