WHAT TO AVOID WHEN

WHAT TO AVOID WHEN
First-time visitors to Egypt should be mindful of a few things to ensure a smooth trip. Avoid drinking tap water; opt for bottled water instead. Be cautious with street food, choosing vendors with high turnover and visibly clean practices. Dress respectfully, especially when visiting religious sites, covering shoulders and knees. Haggling is expected in markets, but do so politely. Refrain from public displays of affection. Be aware of scams targeting tourists, and pre-book tours or transportation where possible. Finally, respect local customs and traditions, such as avoiding eating with your left hand, to enhance your cultural experience.
