What should I pay attention to when traveling to Egypt for the first time?

1. Religious customs

Egypt is an Islamic country and you should respect local religion and customs. Women should not wear clothes that are too revealing, and men and women should not engage in intimate behaviors such as hugging in public places.

2. Weather

Although Egypt is located in Africa, the average daily temperature is not high because the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large. Due to the influence of the maritime humid climate in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean and Red Sea, the daily temperature difference is not large. The farther south, the farther away from the desert, the climate becomes drier, the daytime becomes hotter, and the temperature drops more at night.

3. Taking photos

It is prohibited to take photos in sensitive areas such as government agencies and military facilities. Women are not allowed to be photographed without their permission. Photographing in mosques and museums requires prior consent.

4. Diet and health

Since you are not used to different diets, you can bring some pickled mustard, tea, etc. with you. To prevent acclimatization, please bring some ready-made medicines. If you have patients with high blood pressure or heart disease, please prepare medicines in advance and notify the team leader to make emergency preparations in advance.

5. Security

Safety is a concern for all tourists visiting Egypt. The Egyptian government has very strict security measures for foreign tourists. There will be security inspection equipment at the entrances of hotels and scenic spots to conduct safety checks on tourists and vehicles entering the area.
