What to wear in Egypt? Egypt Accommodation Guide

Almost everyone knows that Egypt, an ancient civilization with a long history, yearns for the legendary pyramids, mummies and sphinx. But as we all know, Egypt’s climate in Africa is not as pleasant as other tourist cities. What should you eat and wear when going to Egypt? Let’s take a look.

About dressing

Wear as a whole.

Egypt is an Arab country with a relatively open social atmosphere. In principle, any clothing worn by foreign tourists is acceptable in Egypt. However, due to the hot and dry climate in summer and strong sunshine during the day, it is recommended to wear loose long-sleeved trousers, preferably sweat-absorbent and breathable fabrics, which will be more comfortable.

Seaside Outfits

Seaside Outfits: Sunglasses, beach hats and bikinis are essential. The Egyptian Red Sea can be worn casually. No one will care if you don’t wear it, but it must be a five-star hotel. Generally, good five-star hotels are occupied by European tourists, so no one will stare at them if they wear little clothing.

Shoes

Just wear comfortable and breathable flat slippers and sandals. Do not wear high heels, leather shoes, or sticky sneakers.

Scarves

Ladies can bring some brightly colored scarves. On the one hand, they can be used to block the sun; on the other hand, they make it easier to shine when taking photos.

Sunscreen

It is recommended to use sunscreen with SPF above 50 and waterproof.

Do you need a coat?

Summer in Egypt lasts from April to October, and the temperature in autumn and winter is around 20 degrees. Sooner or later you will need a thick coat.
