What to Wear and Honoring Egyptian Etiquette

- Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics. Avoid tight yoga wear or anything that feels too revealing.
- Flowing pants, long skirts, kaftans, and tunics are ideal.
- Bring a scarf or shawl: sacred for temple rituals, and practical for covering shoulders or head when traditional areas.
