Essential Travel Tips
Dress modestly: Cover shoulders and knees, especially when visiting religious sites, to show respect for local customs.
Carry small denominations of Egyptian Pounds: Useful for tipping (baksheesh) and small purchases, as not all vendors accept cards.
Stay hydrated: The desert climate can be very dry; always carry bottled water, especially during sightseeing.
Be prepared for vendors: While sometimes persistent, a polite but firm 'no, thank you' (La shukran) is usually sufficient. Avoid engaging if not interested.
Haggle respectfully: Bargaining is common in markets; approach it with good humor and respect for the local culture.
Use reputable transport: Opt for official taxis, ride-sharing apps (Uber/Careem), or pre-arranged hotel transport for safety and fair pricing.

Local Insights & Tips
Egyptian culture is deeply rooted in hospitality and respect. Greetings are important, and a warm 'Salam Alaikum' (peace be upon you) is always appreciated. Family is central to Egyptian life, and you'll often see multi-generational families enjoying meals together. Embrace the slower pace of life, especially outside major cities. Be mindful of local customs during Ramadan, if your visit coincides. Tipping is customary for almost all services, so keep small notes handy.
