Essential Travel Tips
Always carry small denominations of Egyptian Pounds (EGP) for tips and small purchases. Tipping (baksheesh) is customary for various services.
Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites, to show respect for local customs. For women, this typically means covering shoulders and knees.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of bottled water, especially during warmer months, and protect yourself from the sun with hats and sunscreen.
Haggle politely when shopping in bazaars like Khan el-Khalili; it's part of the cultural experience and often expected.
Be aware of your surroundings and keep your valuables secure. Consider using reputable tour operators and taxis arranged through your hotel.
