Is it safe to visit Egypt?

Egypt is a popular travel destination, and while major tourist areas are generally safe, it’s always important to stay informed about the current situation. Stick to well-known sites, travel with a reputable guide, and avoid isolated areas. Always follow local advice and stay updated on safety guidelines.

What currency is used in Egypt?

The official currency in Egypt is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). While many tourist areas accept credit cards, it’s recommended to carry some local currency, especially when visiting more remote areas or smaller markets. Currency exchange is available at airports, hotels, and banks.

How should I dress when visiting Egypt?

Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country, and while it’s hot, it’s important to dress modestly to respect the local culture. Women should cover their shoulders and avoid wearing short skirts or shorts in public places. Men should avoid wearing sleeveless shirts in conservative areas. Lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended, along with a hat and sunscreen.

Tipping (known as baksheesh) is a common practice in Egypt and is appreciated in many service sectors. It’s customary to tip hotel staff, drivers, and tour guides. A typical tip for a guide is about 100-150 EGP per day, while smaller tips of 10-20 EGP are appreciated for other services, like bellhops or restaurant staff.
