Below is a brief overview of cultural norms and etiquette in Egypt:
Greetings:
Greet people with warmth and respect. Handshakes are common, and it's customary to use conventional greetings when meeting someone for the first time. Hugs are normal between the same gender but not between different genders. Do not be upset if a woman refuses to shake a man’s hand.
Modesty in clothing:
It is advised to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Cover your shoulders and knees, and women may need to cover their hair in certain places.
Public displays of affection:
Public displays of affection should be kept to a minimum, especially in conservative areas.
