Planning what to pack for Egypt can be tricky due to the warm climate and local cultural norms. Whether you are exploring ancient temples in Luxor, wandering Cairo's streets, or relaxing on Red Sea beaches, here is your essential guide to dressing comfortably and respectfully in Egypt:

1. Dress Code Respect & Culture:

• For Women: Loose, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees is recommended when visiting historic sites, markets, and mosques. Maxidresses, linen pants, and light scarves are ideal choices.

• For Men: Light trousers, chinos, or knee-length shorts with cotton t-shirts or polo shirts work great for daytime sightseeing.

2. Sightseeing Essentials (Temples & Pyramids):

• Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers are a must. You will walk on dusty paths, uneven stone surfaces, and sand.

• Sun Protection: Sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are essential year-round.

3. Beach Resorts (Sharm El Sheikh & Hurghada): Standard beachwear, swimsuits, bikinis, and shorts are fully acceptable inside hotel resorts, on private beaches, and during boat trips.

4. Winter Evenings (November to February): Egypt can get surprisingly chilly at night, especially during desert safaris and Nile cruises. Bring a light jacket, cardigan, or denim layer for evening outings.
