What are the untouchable taboos in Egypt?

1) Egypt is an Islamic country, so we should pay attention to respecting local religions and customs. Women should not wear revealing clothes to avoid too intimate actions between men and women in public. Don't mention "pig" when chatting. Don't praise the other person's things, or you will think you are asking for them.

2) It is forbidden to take photos in sensitive areas such as government agencies and military facilities. No woman can be photographed without her permission. Shooting in mosques and museums requires prior consent.

Egyptians (Muslims) think that "right is better than left", and right is auspicious. You should start with your right hand and right foot. You must shake hands with your right hand, eat and deliver things. You should wear your right sleeve before wearing clothes, your right foot before wearing shoes, and your right foot before entering the house and mosque. The reason is that Mu Zhilin does dirty work with his left hand when it is "convenient", so his left hand is considered unclean. It is extremely impolite to shake hands or pass things with your left hand, and even considered as an insult.
