Cultural customs and taboos in Egypt:

1. Dressing should not be too revealing: it is not appropriate to wear too revealing when traveling in Islamic countries. Women are advised to wear long sleeves, trousers and long skirts when traveling alone, and it is best to wear headscarves and even wedding rings to avoid a lot of harassment. Men also try not to wear vests and shorts, otherwise it is forbidden to enter religious places such as mosques.

2. Avoid blue, yellow and star patterns: You should avoid wearing blue and yellow clothes. Egyptians think that blue represents the devil and yellow symbolizes misfortune, so they wear yellow clothes for funerals. In addition, Egyptians don't like star patterns, which is probably related to the national flag of their political rival Israel.

5. Pork can't be eaten in public: pork food is basically not provided in Egypt. Although the customs does not interfere with tourists bringing pork products into the country, please don't eat it in public, let alone give it to local people.

6. Don't use your left hand when shaking hands with Egyptian Muslims and handing things, because they think it is unclean.
