Do's

Drink a lot of water, EgyptÂ’s weather is very dry and itÂ’s very easy to get dehydrated
Carry some cash when heading to remote locations
For sightseeing, make sure you have a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, light cotton or linen clothes, and donÂ’t forget comfortable shoes
While visiting religious locations dress modestly and take off your shoes before entering a mosque
Respect the local customs: these include dress codes
Visit the local tourist office if you have any requirements or questions
Seek the help of the touristic police if you find yourself in any troublesome situation
Always carry some kind of identification document
Make sure your routine vaccination cover is complete

Don'ts

DonÂ’t drink and dive! Alcohol might increase the decompression sickness risk
DonÂ’t assume you can pay with your credit card, always ask first
DonÂ’t take pictures where youÂ’re not allowed to
DonÂ’t feel obliged to tip anyone for anything
DonÂ’t take anything from the natural parks and reserves and keep them as clean as you can
Avoid leaving your hotel or apartment without telling anyone where youÂ’re heading
DonÂ’t leave your hotel or accommodation without a guide or a map close at hand, unless you know where youÂ’re heading
DonÂ’t come to Egypt without insurance. Medical treatments can cost thousands if youÂ’re not insured.
DonÂ’t expect Egyptians to understand your language. Instead, learn some useful phrases. Locals will appreciate it.
